Crying Obsidian block in Minecraft

Added in 1.16 Mined with: pickaxe Requires at least diamond Stack size: 64 In 1 tutorial ↓

Crying Obsidian is obsidian that weeps purple drops and gives off a dim light.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier diamond). It gives off light level 10.

What it does

It needs a diamond pickaxe like obsidian and is just as resistant. You find it in ruined portals and bastions, or get it from piglin bartering. It is the main ingredient of the Respawn Anchor, but it cannot be used to build a Nether portal.
