Obsidian is a high durability block which is created when water touches a lava source block.

Obtaining Edit

Natural generation Edit

Obsidian does not explicitly generate in the Minecraft world, however it can generate if water naturally flows into lava.

Post-generation Edit

Obsidian can be created by making water flow into a lava source block.

When entering an unlinked Nether portal, a portal will be generated out of obsidian.

Usage Edit

 
An example of the smallest possible Nether portal frame.

Obsidian can be used to create Nether portals by creating an obsidian portal frame, then lighting it with a fire striker.

Due to its high blast resistance and high durability, it can be used in building to make durable structures.
