Talk:Obsidian

I changed some of the wording to make it more encyclopedic--The Abominator 10:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

The latest version of infdev creates this, as mentioned in the article. I'm having a hard time digging/mining it, though. Is it super-hard? Does it require special tools? I've not gotten far enough along to create it "artificially" and the "natural" occurrence was in a place where it was very hard to safely dig.


 * Obsidian doesnt occur naturally,It only comes when water merges with lava spring.It is very hard and can only be succesfully mined by diamond pickaxe just like the article states--Vibhor 02:30, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Wasnt obsidian used in the first InfDev for cardnial directions, not indev? --brendanmint 15:04, 3 july 2010 (UTC)
 * yes. --99.50.134.130 03:35, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Can creepers blow up obsidian? I've been unable to test this as of yet. --99.50.134.130 03:34, 4 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Nope. It's immune to all explosions. PurpleKiwi 22:53, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * The iron pick under "tool to use" is somewhat misleading... Toadbert
 * I guess. I'll add in a diamond pick image.--Kizzycocoa 03:46, 1 September 2010 (PDT)
 * in fact, I'll make them all diamond. I just thought it would make everything very silly if I did.--Kizzycocoa 03:47, 1 September 2010 (PDT)

Natural Obsidian
I Have found some natural Obsidian in Alpha v1.0.17_04, it is 9 to 10 Tiles below ground level and when I found it there were no other elements except for stone (Smooth) around it. Xeyj 05:42, 7 September 2010 (CDT)

Infinite Obsidian!
Since the Halloween Update added portals, I have found that Obsidian can now be mined infinitely. When creating a portal and going to the Nether, then going back it will sometimes create a new portal on Earth (that's what it keeps doing for me, anyway). Destroy or disable (remove one block from) the new portal and go to the Nether again, it will continue to spawn new portals, thus creating more and more Obsidian out of thin air. AARST


 * You don't need infinite Obsidian. The oceans in The Nether are made of lava.--PurpleKiwi 21:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * you cannot place water in Hell. it instantly evaporates in a puff of smoke.--Kizzycocoa 22:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, but you can take the lava back.--PurpleKiwi 17:25, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
