Steps To Make Minecraft Obsidian

1. Locate Lava In Your World

To get obsidian blocks, you must first find lava in your Minecraft world. If you’re creative, you can dig a hole and fill it with lava.

2. Pour Water On The Lava

Once you have found lava, you must pour water from the water bucket over the lava. You can do this by selecting the water bucket in your Hotbar and using the following game controllers, depending on the version of Minecraft you have:

  • Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click on a block next to the lava.
  • Pocket Edition (PE): Touch a block next to the lava.
  • Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT button.
  • PS3, PS4: Press the L2 button.
  • Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL Button

You should see the water flow over the lava and turn it into obsidian.

3. Put Water Back In Bucket

Now we can recover the water using the following controls:

  • Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition – Right click on the water.
  • Pocket Edition (PE): touch the water.
  • Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press the LT button.
  • PS3, PS4: Press the L2 button.
  • Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press the ZL Button

4. Mining The Obsidian

Next, we need to extract the obsidian with a diamond pickaxe. So select the diamond pickaxe in your quick access bar and use the following controls to mine obsidian:

  • Java Edition (PC/Mac), Windows 10 Edition, Education Edition: Left click and hold the obsidian.
  • Pocket Edition (PE): Hold down the obsidian.
  • Xbox 360, Xbox One: Press and hold the RT button.
  • PS3, PS4: Press and hold the R2 button.
  • Wii U, Nintendo Switch: Press and hold the ZR button

After you break the block of obsidian, you will see a smaller piece of obsidian floating on the ground.

5. Pick Up The Obsidian

After you’ve mined the obsidian, all you need to do is collect the tiniest bit of obsidian that floats close to the ground.

So mine your obsidian! Minecraft Obsidian is a dark colored building block with high strength and explosive power. It is often used to build explosion proof structures and also Nether Portal frames.
