How Do I Make Obsidian in Minecraft? A Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever found yourself wandering the vast world of Minecraft and wondering, ‘How do I make obsidian?’ Well, you’re not alone! It’s a common question among players looking to fortify their bases or craft that enchanting table they’ve been dreaming about.
So, let’s dive straight into how you can create this incredibly strong block in Minecraft.
Getting Straight to the Point: Making Obsidian
Making obsidian in Minecraft is simpler than you might think, but it does require you to mix two specific ingredients: water and lava. When water meets a still lava block, it instantly turns into an obsidian block. The key here is to ensure the lava block is not flowing; otherwise, you’ll end up with cobblestone instead.
To achieve this, you can pour water over lava using a bucket or strategically place blocks to guide water towards the lava. Remember, you’ll need a diamond or netherite pickaxe to mine the obsidian block without destroying it. So gear up properly before you embark on your obsidian-making journey!
