About

Polished Basalt is a craftable decorative block made by placing basalt in a stonecutter. It retains basalt's dark gray appearance but adds visible horizontal striping that runs across the block face, making it useful for building clean architectural details or accent walls.

The block is relatively soft for rock (hardness 1.25) and breaks quickly with any tool. It stacks to 64 and poses no special placement or interaction rules, so it works like any other solid building block. Use it alongside regular basalt or blackstone for visual contrast in underground bases, nether builds, or modern construction.
