In Mine Blocks, you make obsidian by combining water and lava. There is no crafting recipe for obsidian.
Obsidian is created specifically any time flowing water hits a stationary lava "source" block.
How the Transformation Works
Unlike some blocks that are crafted at a workbench, obsidian is formed through an interaction between liquids in the game world.
Here's the simple process:
- Find a stationary lava "source" block.
- Introduce flowing water so that it touches this specific lava source block.
When flowing water makes contact with a stationary lava source block, the lava block will instantly turn into an obsidian block.
Where to Find Lava Source Blocks
To create obsidian, you need to find these stationary lava source blocks. According to the reference:
- Lava is easiest to find as "lava falls".
- These lava falls are typically located in caves and ravines.
You can break a lava source block to collect lava in a bucket, but to create obsidian, you need the source block to be in place when the water hits it.
Summary of Obsidian Creation
Let's break down the elements needed:
| Requirement | Details | Location (for Lava Source) |
|---|---|---|
| Water | Must be flowing (not a source block) | Found in rivers, lakes, buckets |
| Lava | Must be a stationary source block | Caves, Ravines, "Lava Falls" |
| Interaction | Flowing water touching the lava source | In the game world |
| Result | Transforms the lava source block into obsidian | Where interaction occurs |
By carefully placing or directing flowing water onto a lava source block found deep within the game world, you can generate obsidian for mining.
