When strongly powered by redstone, obsidian would float up or down - depending on available space around it - until hitting something else, and if going all the way up to y 256, it would be destroyed.
This came to me after reading about the original concept that obsidian veins would be required for floating masses.
Also, if this floating entity is treated like piston heads, elevators would be a simple thing.
Why would obsidian be floating? Obsidian is volcanic glass, not a hoverboard xD However, I do like the idea of a redstone-controlled floating block, since I can never make elevators work lol

Yeah, it's odd, i'm trying to bring back a dropped feature in the form of a useful mechanism.
Maybe, as you said, a craftable block using obsidian and redstone. Activated obsidian? Enrichened obsidian... Something using Glowstone dust for its radioactive properties.

Obsidian being needed for floating masses had nothing to do with obsidian floating (at least not how you describe it). It was back when notch was considering making every block be affected by physics like sand and gravel, except for obsidian.

The original concept was just a base for the idea. As in one idea brought to the other. they are mostly unrelated. I edited the OP to make that clearer.
