A delta is a one-block-deep sheet of constrained lava found among the terrain of basalt deltas biome in the Nether.

Description

[edit | edit source]

Deltas are one-block-deep terraced lava lakes, often divided by lines of blackstone. Magma blocks also generate as part of these generated structures, replacing some of the lava. Deltas tend to be adjacent to or surrounded by basalt columns.

Config

[NBT Compound / JSON Object] config

The only rule for which blocks the delta feature can replace (via the 'contents' or 'rim' block state) is that the target block must have one air block above it and no horizontally-adjacent air blocks. One consequence of this is that delta features cannot generate underwater, but can generate on the water's surface if the feature placement is on the same y-level.

Delta features are always generated last regardless of the order specified by their biome's generation step. In effect, this means that delta blocks can be overridden by features such as tall grass, often resulting in a splotchy appearance.
