Is there a way to collect obsidian on the world surface in Minecraft?
So I want to make an obsidian farm. Unfortunately I have only 1 bucket of lava. Now the question is is it possible to make any obsidian farm on the earth surface or are there any rules stating otherwise?
Best Answer
The only way you can make obsidian on the surface is to find a surface lava pool or move lava from the Nether/cave and put it down on the surface (and then turn it into obsidian in the normal way)
You can't 'farm' obsidian in the way you can farm wheat/melon etc. - you can only have as much obsidian as you have lava.
Edit - there is a way of mining infinite obsidian using redstone.

Is there any other way to mine obsidian?
It can be collected only with a DIAMOND PICKAXE. Sadly it takes roughly 10 seconds to mine out. Any other pickaxe will simply break the block after about a minute of mining. Obsidian is created when a source Lava block comes in contact with a flowing Water block.What is the fastest way to get obsidian in Minecraft?
Making Obsidian without a Diamond Pickaxe. Find a pool of lava. There is no crafting recipe for obsidian. Instead, any time flowing water hits a stationary lava "source" block, the lava turns into obsidian.(1.16+) Simple Way To Get OBSIDIAN In Minecraft! - Easy Obsidian Farming!
