Basalt deltas and ruined portals are now readily available in this month's slection of the top Minecraft 1.16 seeds.

Basalt deltas and ruined portals are now readily available in this month's slection of the top Minecraft 1.16 seeds.

We're getting closer and closer to the official release of the Nether Update for Minecraft 1.16, and these are some of the best seeds leading up to that drop.

Since last month, a whole new nether biome has been introduced: the basalt deltas. It's primarily a volcanic biome with ash and dust, but you can mine it for materials like basalt and blackstone. It also includes three types of mobs: ghasts, magma cubes, and striders.

Mojang has added ruined portals to both overworld and nether, which can serve as excellent jumping points for both of these worlds. On top of that, the nether world now has a new type of structure in bastion remnants. It's quite different from the nether fortresses and has unique loot to offer.

Let's look at this month's selection of top Minecraft seeds for snapshot 20w18a.
