As we all know, obsidian blocks can't be destroyed by lava, fire and TNT explosions. Going to the nether needs a portal, which consists of obsidian blocks. Surviving in the nether might be challenging, you can't sleep on beds because it will basically explode and kill you, crossing lava oceans needs bridges and ghasts and provoked zombie pigman may be a huge problem. As I have said earlier, crossing lava oceans can be a huge problem, you may need several blocks that aren't useful for you anymore to build a bridge, or a fire resistance potion.
So, I came up with an idea of obsidian boats. They don't burn and is very hard and takes a long time to destroy. It makes travelling in the Nether easier. It's crafted just like a boat, but replace it all with obsidian. The obsidian boat may also be used in water. It is mounted and dismounted in the same way with a boat. Because of this, the boat will now be replaced with the name, "Wooden boat". An obsidian boat, when destroyed, will drop 2 obsidian blocks. Well, good luck in catching that in a huge lava tub. The obsidian boat has a life of 50. So what'd you guys think?

You are aware Obsidian is a stone? Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimum crystal growth. Example:
Making boots out of a stone/rock is impossible (or near to it) Really does not make sense, No Support
Support, but if you think it is too OP, here's an improvement:
What about having both Obsidian and Nether Quartz be required to make the boat? This would be done by replacing the obsidian in the recipe with Quartz Obsidian. Quartz obsidian will be crafted like this (gives 4)
is quartz:
or like this (gives 5)
is quartz:
These blocks would then be used to craft the boat. This would also add a new decorative block along with the boat, which I think would be nice.

Minecraft doesn't have (and never really has had) that kind of realism. For example, look at Obsidian. In real life, it is very brittle, yet in Minecraft it is the hardest block that the player can break. Therefore, why would you not be able to make a boat out of Obsidian (or Quartz Obsidian) in Minecraft?

Edit: Oops! It's redundant.
a boat is not boots. and yes, I think this is highly redundant.
Actually, form *ALL* the "boat that goes on lava" topics I've seen before (and there are tons), the one made from obsidian seems the best one.
This is because of the way obsidian is in Minecraft, for real obsidian is very brittle lol.
Still, getting 5 obdsidian is relatively easy. So this would' really count as a costly boat at all.
Make it just sink in normal water, and slower moving in lava than a normal boat moves in water, and I'm sold.
Let's say:
Vanilla-Minecraft-normal-boat-over-water (from MC wiki - Transportation): 6.2 m/s (top non-sprinting speed over still water)
Vanilla-swimming-still-water: 2.2 m/s
So, for obsidian boat:
Over Nether lava: 30% less fast than normal boat = 4.34 m/s (and cannot boat-sprint either)
Over Overworld lava: 60% less fast: 2.48 m/s (cannot boat-sprint)
So, better than swimming, but not too much. The main advantages would be: no potion of fire resistance needed, and can go AFK without any problem.
Well, it would always be a good idea to carry a potion of resistance or two anyway, just in case the boat breaks.
No need to give it different lifepoints than a normal boat either: if a player is dumb enough to hit obstacles, the normal chances are enough to avoid most problems, unss player is VERY brash with his boating. Otherwise then yeah high time to take a little swim in lava to learn some hot lessons in how to move in a boat in a lava lake. Carrying a stack of obsidian to replace the boat by a new one every time the boat gets a little bit damaged is not that much of an hassle either after all, ESPECIALLY once you have an Efficiency Pick, which is a very common pick enchantment. Lava in general and the Nether in particular should always stay dangerous !
Valiec:
"Storage-like" recipes come in two formats :
For nuggets and ores, 3x3 of the same ingredient.
For EVERYTHING else, it is always 2x2 recipes.
So your recipe should be: 2 obsidian blocks, and 2 quartz BLOCKS, placed along diagonal lines from each other, to form that new special "marbled" block, that can be used both to make cool builds (especially with stairs slabs and wall versions of it), and the boat that floats on lava (and which should sink in normal water).

No support. Minecraft is already pretty easy we dont need to make it easier. Plus I think its more fun and challenging traveling the nether block by block over lava while trying to avoid ghasts.

It's crafted just like a boat, but replace it all with obsidian. The obsidian boat may also be used in water. It is mounted and dismounted in the same way with a boat.

You may carve obsidian, though, you could not ware it. The castle in the sky is due to Minecraft gravity and physics.

But this would make the nether too much easier. No support.
This thread probably isn't redudant, I have not seen any other lava boat threads for a long time.
