Glowing Obsidian

Obsidian takes ages to mine. This is good when you've made a fortress out of it, but not when you're trying to harvest it for a Nether Portal. Here's my solution.

Add Glowing Obsidian. It replaces normal Obsidian (usually made when Lava meets Water) and takes significantly less time to mine. It drops itself if mined with a Silk Touch pickaxe, and normal obsidian otherwise.

Other uses:

  • Replaces Magma Blocks in Underwater Caves (fits better with colour scheme)
  • Creates downwards bubble columns and hurts players standing on it
  • Can be made by smelting obsidian, thus making it renewable

This allows you to build virtually impenetrable structures out of it while still taking a short amount of time to harvest it.

Also, this was in Bedrock Edition (used to be Pocket Edition). I think it would look pretty cool if Jappa gave it a texture :)

    I think it should be crafted with magma and obsidian, instead of smelting it, as it just seems weird that you’d be able to half melt obsidian with a dingy old furnace.

    My idea is that it's crafted using obsidian and glowstone dust/blocks. I'm still thinking about which one. I think it should be found in lava oceans in the Nether like upside-down clusters of glowstone. It could also be found in Bastion Remnant chests or bartered for with Piglins. I think it would look really cool, and I don't understand why Mojang removed this or even added it only in Pocket Edition. Some might say they removed it becaused they added glowstone instead, but I already said it could be found in lava oceans.
