Basalt

Come on! Grow up! This article is a stub. You can help the Minecraft Wiki by expanding this article.

Basalt is a block that's found in the Nether. Basalt can be made from a generator or found naturally.

Location

The basalt block naturally generates in the biomes called soul sand valley, in basalt deltas, and also in the bastion remnants.

Crafting

Can be placed anywhere on the grid in this order.

Polished Basalt
Basalt	Basalt	None
Basalt	Basalt	None
None	None	None

Trivia

• This block will be used in the soulsand valley biome as the block for basalt pillars and as the main block in the basalt delta biome.
• In 20w12a to get the Polished Basalt, you would have had to smelt regular basalt in a furnace. This is also the case on bedrock edition. 
• In 20w16a Basalt will now generate naturally in Bastion Remnants.
