How to Get Obsidian in Minecraft: A Simple Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to snag some obsidian in Minecraft? Well, you’re in luck because we’re diving deep into the blocky world to find out! Obsidian, that dark, mysterious block that’s key to building Nether portals and enchantment tables, is just a few steps away.
So, how does one get their hands on this elusive block? Let’s break it down, shall we?
The Short Answer to Getting Obsidian
To get obsidian in Minecraft, you need two things: a bucket of water and a diamond or netherite pickaxe. First, find a lava pool. Then, pour water over the lava to turn it into obsidian. Finally, mine it with your pickaxe. Easy peasy!
Remember, only a diamond or netherite pickaxe can mine obsidian. If you try with anything else, say, an iron or stone pickaxe, you’ll be mining forever and get nothing. Sad, right? So make sure you’re well-prepared before you go obsidian hunting.
