About

Basalt is a solid rock block found naturally in the Nether, often in large deposits. It is fully diggable and stacks to 64, making it practical for large-scale building projects or terraforming work.

Use the item ID minecraft:basalt when spawning it for players or filling containers via commands. Its moderate hardness means it breaks quickly enough for active construction but stays durable as a finished structure.
