Tips and Warnings. Things You'll Need. Related Articles. Article Summary. Method 1. Find a pool of lava. There is no crafting recipe for obsidian. Instead, any time flowing water hits a stationary lava "source" block, the lava turns into obsidian. You can find stationary lava in the following places: [1] X Research source Lava is easiest to find as "lava falls" in caves and ravines.
Only the top block is a source block. Lava is very common in the bottom ten layers of the map. Dig down diagonally to avoid falling in it. Rarely, you can find lava lakes on the surface, but never more than about twenty blocks above sea level. Collect the lava in buckets. Craft a bucket out of three iron ingots. Use the bucket on the lava to scoop it up. You can only scoop up stationary blocks of lava, not flowing lava. In the computer crafting system, arrange the iron in a "V" shape.
Dig a hole where you want the obsidian. Make sure the hole is contained, and that nothing flammable is within two blocks in any direction.
Wood, tall grass, and many other objects will catch fire near lava. Pour the lava into the hole. Remember, only stationary not flowing lava will turn into obsidian. This means you will need one bucket of lava for every block of obsidian you want to make. Remember, without a diamond pickaxe you cannot mine the obsidian without destroying it.
Make sure you want obsidian in that location before you continue. Send water over the lava. Use your now-empty bucket to scoop up water.
Bring it to the lava pool you created and place the water above the lava so it flows down onto it. When the flowing water hits the lava, the lava will turn into obsidian. It's a good idea to build a temporary, non-flammable structure around the lava pool to prevent an annoying flood. Method 2. Obtain a diamond pickaxe.
Obsidian is the only block that must be mined using a diamond pickaxe. Any lesser tool will destroy the obsidian if you try to mine it. Locate a lava pool. Dig down almost to the bottom of the map and explore. It shouldn't take long to find a large pool of lava. Gamepedia support Report a bad ad Help Wiki Contact us. Explore Wikis Community Central.

Added obsidian. Obsidian is extremely tough to break and drops one cobblestone block when broken. Added the obsidian wall , which marks the X and Z axes, intersecting at 0,0.
This creates two intersecting planes extending just above the surface of the solid material that surrounds them. Obsidian is now created when water touches a lava source. Obsidian's explosion resistance increased. Before this, obsidian had the same blast resistance as stone.
Introduced the nether portal , made using obsidian, which also makes obsidian renewable. However, since diamond pickaxes are not yet renewable, obsidian cannot be fully renewably obtained. Definitions Description is what the item is called and Minecraft ID Name is the string value that is used in game commands.
Minecraft ID is the Internal number for the item. Minecraft DataValue or damage value identifies the variation of the block if more than one type exists for the Minecraft ID. Platform is the platform that applies. Definitions Stackable indicates whether the item can be stacked with more than 1 item in a stack. Stack Size is the maximum stack size for this item.

If you are running a mod, some mods may change the stack size for an item. Share on:. Pocket Edition PE. Xbox Xbox One. Just because you've located some obsidian doesn't mean you can mine it successfully. The blocks are tough, and the only way to pick them up is by using either a diamond or netherite pickaxe — here's a guide showing how to make netherite tools.
If you've found the obsidian in caves, then you need to watch out because each block typically has lava underneath it. Therefore, when you break one, it's likely to fall straight into the fiery liquid and burn to a crisp. A good way to avoid that is to pour some water next to the block you're looking to break.
Then when you destroy it, the water will cover the bit of lava before your item burns. Or you can carefully mine under the block and then use a bucket and blocks to replace the lava.
The problem with just finding obsidian out in the wild is that you can't usually find large quantities of it at once. Luckily, there are a few ways that you can make your very own blocks of the substance.
The obsidian found in caves is formed because water naturally flows over the top of lava. You can create these same conditions yourself with a bucket of water. Yet, in this scenario, you'll still need to mine the blocks afterward, which won't be possible if you haven't got a strong enough pickaxe. However, you can tweak this method to make tools unnecessary. To do this, you must first create a mold. This means positioning non-flammable blocks around where you want the obsidian blocks to go.
