Obsidian

1Block states
YesItem form

Obsidian is a block in Minecraft. It can only be broken with a pickaxe, and the tool must be at least diamond for the block to drop anything.

Once collected, obsidian drops itself and can be carried away and placed elsewhere. Players also use it as an ingredient, since it appears in three different crafting recipes.
