To make obsidian in Minecraft, you need to pour water over a lava source block. Lava is found underground in the Nether and Overworld. To get obsidian, place a water bucket on the lava source block. This will instantly turn the lava into obsidian blocks.

You'll need silk touch enchantment on your pickaxe to be able to mine the obsidian without it breaking into obsidian fragments. Obsidian is a useful building material that is also needed to make a Nether portal. It's an indestructible block that mobs cannot pathfind over or break. So it's commonly used to create structures that need to be protected, like mob farms or tree farms.

To summarize, the steps to get obsidian in Minecraft are:

  1. Find lava underground in the Overworld or Nether
  2. Use a water bucket to turn the lava source block into obsidian
  3. Mine the obsidian block with a silk touch pickaxe to keep it intact
