What You’ll Need
- A diamond or netherite pickaxe
- A water source
- A lava source
Step 1: Find a Suitable Location
First, you need to locate a suitable location for creating obsidian. Look for a spot where you can safely place your water source and lava source adjacent to each other. It’s important to ensure that the water doesn’t flow onto any valuable items or structures, as it can destroy them.
Step 2: Mine the Diamond or Netherite Ore
Once you’ve found a suitable location, equip your diamond or netherite pickaxe and mine the diamond or netherite ore blocks. These blocks are commonly found deep underground, so you may need to do some mining to locate them. Be patient, as finding these ores can take time.
Step 3: Place the Water Source
Next, you need to place your water source. Position it adjacent to the mined diamond or netherite ore blocks. Make sure it reaches all the blocks you want to convert into obsidian.
Step 4: Place the Lava Source
Now, it’s time to place the lava source block adjacent to the water source block. As soon as the lava touches the water, it will turn into obsidian. Ensure that the placement is accurate to avoid any wastage.
Step 5: Collect the Obsidian
Once you’ve created the obsidian, equip your diamond or netherite pickaxe and mine the obsidian blocks. Note that obsidian requires a diamond or netherite pickaxe to be harvested, as other tools will break without dropping the block.
Voila! You’ve successfully created obsidian in Minecraft. Now you can use it to craft various items and structures, such as enchantment tables, nether portals, and more. Remember, obsidian is extremely valuable, so make sure to use it wisely!
