Oh wow, that's really cool honestly, thanks for the explanation. And yeah, it nearly goes down to y level 0, there is a slight bit of granite under the whole cluster, but it would seem to be what you said, a salt dome.

I was exploring random worlds while messing with world generation options and stumbled across a "Halite obelisk", upon further inspection I found out that most of the chunk is made up of halite. I don't think this is a common occurance or if it's even normal for this to happen lol. Game version: 1.20.3 Stable Seed: 1804598796 Coords: -831, 147, 692
