|Data Value||dec. 2316:1 and 2316:3 and 2316:4| Basalt is a type
of dark colored stone that forms volcanoes. When mined, it
yields Basalt Cobblestone, a much darker version of cobblestone.
All versions of Basalt are strong enough to withstand creeper
and some TNT explosions. Smooth Basalt can be created by
smelting basalt cobblestone: Similar to regular stone, four
blocks of basalt can be combined in the crafting table to craft
Basalt Bricks. Aside from their explosion resistance and the
fact that they cannot be destroyed by Ogres, all three basalt
blocks do not have any functional use besides for construction
and aesthetics. Picture Gallery Edit Video Tutorial Edit
