As a permanent resident of a basalt delta biome, there's one part of the ambience that you left out: *SQUISHSQUISHSQUISH-FWWWWWIP-SQIUSH-FWWWWWIP-FWIP-SQUISH-FWOP-FWWWWWIP-SQUISH*
The simple prescence of the basalt deltas and the sounds create the idea that the Nether is constantly active, that natural geological forces are acting on it just as much as the magic of the fungal forests and strange creatures. It isnt a stable place and at any time the biome you are in could become like the deltas
It always unnerved me how eerily different Basalt Delta was from the rest of the Nether. The fungal forests were ominous, the Nether itself hellish, but the Basalt Delta felt more deathly and ghostly. Strangely peaceful. Thanks a bunch for this.
I've been collecting ambiance from a bunch of games and albums for a sleep playlist, and while roaming in the deltas I thought how perfect the sounds would be, and here we have this video! Thank you so much.
Honestly the nether makes me feel less lonely than the over world because the over world has no ambiance noise Its also this biome has the occasional explosions,caves collapsing. ITS GREAT
I love the distant rumble and crackling, it feels more vast and provides a feeling of grandeur, I recommend standing in this biome while listening to slow music with a radio distortion overlay, gives some nice chills
I used to spend a lot of time in the nether pre 1.16 making ice highways and I always thought the bleak heat was relaxing, like a sauna 😆 the basalt delta has the same sort of vibe as the og nether while being its own thing, I really love it
I headcanon that the clicking is actually that of a geiger counter, but it's more of a thematic thing since the player doesn't suffer any radiation damage, nor do they have a counter with them. The entire biome of Basalt Delta is a mass dark and mismatched rock with hot spots of magma scattered accross it. Even though basalt is a real type of vulcanic stone, the biome reminds me of corium, an "element" created from superheated nuclear fuel that melts and gathers into itself everything that it comes across it's nearly unstoppable path. That would explain the clicking sound.
First time coming back to this game in years after dropping it in 2015. had some fun trying to relearn all the Minecraft meta from back in the day. First time back to the nether in survival and this is the biome I get. I was so fascinated by this place
Take basalt deltas, remove all the mobs from it and leave it the only biome left in the nether. And here you go, a new backrooms like eerie space with just basalt lava and this ambience.
and add a variant of endermen that will attack you randomly if you don't watch your back, and make them instant-death strong, as well as fire resistant
The basalt deltas are really annoying but so beautiful. It has caused me many stupid deaths but I still love it there because of the ambience and atmosphere
basalt deltas always gave me radioactive vibes, the geiger counter in the background really sets the mood for it and the particles that rain down on you seem like radioactive ash to me.
Haven't picked up Minecraft in years I think since 2014. Recently got back into it and had heard about the new Nether update. And wow! I have really enjoyed what I have explored so far but this soundtrack in this biome was just haunting. I love the particles and sounds that accompany this! Reminded me a little of the upside down.
The Basalt Delta always carried a specific and different energy. It’s very intimidating and not welcoming in the slightest. The ash falling around you the sounds of huge chunks of rocks crumbling the explosions in the distance. It’s so intimidating that you immediately want to distance yourself away from it. I don’t view parts of games as annoying just because I’ve died or there is no loot. I always carry a different way of thought.
I imagine it is because whatever light and warmth from the lava is just snuffed out by all the ash and dust in the air sure if you walk up to one of the volcano like structures it's gonna be hot but besides that if you don't take the lava heat itself into account it's really really cold and anything warm is quickly cooled off by all the volcanic Ash really nice bit of biome detail that you don't see everywhere as for the radiation volcanic activity let's out a shit ton of radiation not like Chernobyl levels but way more than the average person would experience in their entire life and certain factors can make it WAY WORSE like if pure radioactive substances is under the volcano and yes it has happened before Moral of the story don't fuck with volcanic activity
@@GamepadStudios Come on do you people really need to point out my grammatical error I was trying to make a theory based on a scientific point do you people really have to point out what doesn't matter if you can read it you can read it and I will have you know I am autistic and I'm not changing my paragraph leave it like is it serves it's purpose
It's like a volcanic fallout with a hint of radiation, It really gets me wondering... What happened down there? Caves collapsing, volcanic ash, distance exploisions and sounds of large leivithans. Gives me Subnautica Lava Zone/Crash Zone vibes. What is making those loud screeches?
I really like the look, ambience, and overall aesthetic of the Basalt Delta. It's the same reason I'm into dark ambient I just really like the unsettling isolation. I'm weird.
The Basalt Delta's Ambience sounds a lot like what the DCEU's version of Apokolips (Darkseid's Homeworld) would sound like. Volcanic, firey, apocalyptic.
despite it being so hard to navigate i am literally obsessed with this biome and living in it when i enter the nether i always seek this out to build a nether base
To be fair I don't like forest biomes in the Nether. I like that overworld becomes more alive, and I started to play Minecraft after Nether update, but I like the unease feeling of old Nether. Trees are too overworldy, but I'm in love with Basalt Deltas: fog, particles and sound make it feel creepy, even if I would love it be more walkable, with long basalt alleys, faded in the fog to have a chance to dive into the mood even more. With forests in Nether would be better if they tried to do something alienish, why not, right now it just feels like dangerous forest, breaks nether feeling for me a bit. So if they wold ubdate End I hope it would be unusual. Like, do a forest, but at the island bottom, not top, it wold be interesting to find the best way to explore such things.
The area is clearly volcanic not nuclear. Both by design and abundant presence of Basalt which is a volcanic rock and the fact that ash is falling everywhere. Booms are just eruptions. The geirger counter clicks is what is off because A : Area is not radioactive. B : Judging by the weaponry and how villagers live. Minecraft is vaugely medieval / fantasy.
