How to Make Obsidian in Minecraft

Last updated
Ever wondered how to make that super tough, shiny black rock in Minecraft? You know, the one that’s so cool and nearly indestructible? That’s obsidian, and here’s how you can make it yourself in the game.
Obsidian is not just any block in Minecraft; it’s one of the toughest materials you can find. But how exactly do you get your hands on it? Let’s dive into the simple yet thrilling process of creating obsidian.
The Short Answer to Making Obsidian
To make obsidian in Minecraft, you need to mix water and lava. But not just any way – water must touch a lava source block. This magical combination instantly turns the lava into obsidian, ready for you to mine.
This process is not just about dumping water on lava. You have to be strategic. Making sure that water touches the lava source block directly is key. If you pour water over flowing lava, instead of obsidian, you’ll end up with stone. So, always aim for the lava source block for that shiny, black obsidian.
