Obsidian is a high durability block which is created when water touches a lava source block.
Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Natural generation[edit | edit source]
Obsidian does not explicitly generate in the Minecraft world, however it can generate if water naturally flows into lava.
Post-generation[edit | edit source]
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 | edit source]

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.
