FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Smooth Basalt?

A wooden pickaxe or better. Mining without a pickaxe yields nothing.

Smelt regular Basalt in a furnace, blast furnace, or campfire with any fuel source, or mine it directly from amethyst geodes and ancient cities.

Can Smooth Basalt be crafted back into Basalt?

No. Smelting is one-directional; there is no recipe to reverse it.

Does Fortune increase Smooth Basalt drops?

No. It always drops exactly one Smooth Basalt regardless of enchantments.
