Ever wondered how to snag that super tough block known as obsidian in Minecraft? Let’s dive into this blocky world and find out.

So, you’re asking yourself, “How do I get obsidian in Minecraft?” Well, you’re in for a treat because we’re about to explain everything you need to know!

Quick Answer: Mining with Diamond

Simply put, you get obsidian by mining it with a diamond or netherite pickaxe. It’s the only way!

But here’s the kicker: obsidian only forms when water touches a lava source block. So, you need to find lava, pour water over it, and then mine the resulting obsidian block with your diamond or netherite pickaxe. Remember, using any other tool won’t do the trick, and you’ll just be wasting your time.
