How do people mine obsidian?

Answer 1

Make lots of buckets, take lava, and put it down and pour water, then mine with a diamond pickaxe. If you don't have the diamond pick, and you know what you want, put lava exactly there you want the obsidian, surround it by any material on all four sides, just for safety and pour water on it. you don't have to put all the lava in one go, and obsidian can block lava. I recommend not to mine obsidian where you found the lava in the first place, since water can't flow through obsidian and there can easily be lava below the obsidian to take the obsidian when you mine it.

Answer 2

Obsidian is typically mined through the use of a diamond-tipped pickaxe due to its hardness. Miners can mine obsidian by breaking the blocks with the pickaxe, but it is a slow process because obsidian takes a longer time to break than other minerals. Once mined, obsidian can be crafted into various tools and blocks for use in minecraft.
