In Minecraft, obsidian is famous for its high blast resistance and its use in the making of nether portals.
Obsidian is one of the toughest blocks that can be mined in survival Minecraft. When lava comes in contact with water, it turns into an obsidian block. To mine an obsidian block, players need a diamond or netherite pickaxe. It also has the highest breaking time in Minecraft.
Obsidian gives access to nether-exclusive blocks and mobs. Without obsidian, players cannot travel to the nether realm in Minecraft. Obsidian generates naturally in ocean ravines, ruined portals, woodland mansions and sometimes in ravines/caves. Players can also get obsidian through bartering or find it inside chests in weaponsmiths' houses, ruined portals, nether fortresses, and bastion remnants.
