Dark Obsidian



Dark Obsidian is a block found exclusively in the Shadowlands.

Location/Uses
Dark Obsidian is the block that replaces the Obsidian towers of the End. These Dark Obsidian pillars are much taller than the Ender pillars and have their respective "shadow crystals" atop.

Dark Obsidian is noticeably harder to mine than regular obsidian. It takes 80 seconds to mine it with bare hands, though it is better to just get a pickaxe and mine it. An Emerald Pickaxe or better is enough to mine it, though a Shadow Pickaxe is the fastest way and gives you a chance to get 2 at once, taking only 10 seconds to mine. Dark Obsidian, Dark Stone, and Nythril are the only three blocks that cannot be broken by the Shadow Dragon.

Trivia

 * Though it is called Dark Obsidian, it is actually of a lighter hue than regular obsidian.
 * A ghast's fireball will go right through Dark Obsidian with no effect at all.
