How to Create Obsidian in Minecraft: A Simple Guide
Last updated
So, you’re wandering through the blocky world of Minecraft and wondering how to step up your game? Well, creating obsidian is a game-changer! But, how exactly do we do that? Let’s dive straight into the mix of water and lava that makes the rare, yet unbreakable block called obsidian.
Obsidian in Minecraft is made by merging water with lava. Sounds simple, right? But there’s a trick to it that ensures you get obsidian instead of stone or lava. Let’s uncover this cool hack!
The Quick How-To on Creating Obsidian
First, you need to find a pool of still lava—not the flowing kind because that will just turn into stone when water touches it. Once you’ve located your lava pool, pour water over it using a bucket. Remember, to collect obsidian, you must use a diamond or netherite pickaxe; any other tool just won’t cut it (literally).
Here’s a pro tip: creating a mold of the shape you want with any block, then placing lava in the mold and pouring water over it, can also create obsidian. This method is super useful for making specific structures or portals. Just make sure you’re ready with that high-grade pickaxe, or all your hard work will be for naught.
