Crying Obsidian

Crying obsidian is a variant of obsidian, currently obtained only via bartering. It is widely believed that Crying Obsidian will be used for Nether or End spawnpoints.

Obtaining
Crying obsidian can be harvested with any pickaxe at or above diamond tier.

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

Usage
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. Although it is currently used only for decoration, it is planned to have more uses in the future.

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.
