Crying Obsidian

Crying obsidian is a luminous variant of obsidian used to craft a respawn anchor and obtained via bartering.

Obtaining
Crying obsidian is only obtained by bartering with piglins

From block loot
Crying obsidian can be harvested only with a diamond or netherite pickaxe.

From bartering
Piglins may barter 1–3 crying obsidian when given a gold ingot.

Info
Similarly to obsidian, crying obsidian is a very resilient building block. It has a blast resistance of 1,200. In addition, it cannot be pushed by pistons or destroyed by the ender dragon. It is used to make respawn anchors, a block that has the function of letting players respawn in the Nether.

When placed, crying obsidian occasionally produces purple dripping particles. These droplets are purely aesthetic.

Unlike obsidian, crying obsidian cannot be used as a portal frame.

Breaking
Crying obsidian can be harvested only with a diamond pickaxe or better.
