Hello, I have an idea for Minecraft and I want to see what everyone thinks of it. I have always thought obsidian should have more things to create than be used to create nether portals and ender chest. Obsidian is not really used as any type of tool in the game besides building things out of raw dark rock . Here are some things obsidian should do in a new Minecraft update:
Obsidian tools should be added and can be made stronger than diamond tools, and enchanting obsidian tools could help surviving and gathering materials more eaiser.
Obsidian could be made into better looking building type blocks, and obsidian stairs could be added along with obsidian picture frames.
Obsidian can be used to make better potions, bookselves, and a teleportation sytem that can be used to from any distance, it would have operate two blocks. Standing on the block would cause you th telport to the other making traveling faster. It would have to requier an ender pearl.
I think Obsidian seems kinda useless and would need an upgrade it just seems boring.
What do you guys think eh? Plz tell me, what else should obsidian have?
Obsidian tools always sounds like a good idea, but there's a pretty big logical issue with them. You see, you need diamond to mine obsidian, which carries the obvious implication that obsidian is superior to diamond, in the same way that you first need iron to mine diamond, or stone to mine iron. This would suggest that obsidian tools would be stronger and more durable than diamond tools. But if obsidian tools became a reality, they would be much easier to acquire due to the relative ease with which you can obtain large amounts of obsidian after you acquire only a small amount of diamonds. Obsidian is much less rare than diamond is, so it wouldn't make sense to have the superior tool be easier to acquire than the lower tier variety. It would effectively make diamond tools redundant and unimportant, because they would be more time-consuming to acquire and also less effective. Very much like current leather armor.
Like what damboy99 said.
1. Obsidian tools. Probably the most unoriginal idea ever. Plus, it's kinda overpowered. Also, there is already a mod for obsidian tools, so I don't think Mojang is gonna add this.
2. Better looking obsidian. Find a texture pack. It's not that hard.
3. Teleportation. Very OP and just gets rid of railroads and boat travel.

What if the obsidian substitutes not the diamonds, but the sticks? Mining speed remains the same (since the cutting part is the diamond), but it's more durable (tools more often than not get unusable not because the cutting edge, but the handler).

First, you're going too far.
you're taking it from Just a good and durable block for building and for enderchests to everything i have is obsidian grade so diamonds are useless now.
Second, obsidian is too common to be a god tool. maybe new items from it but not a world of obsidian.
That's about the gist of the post. Obsidian tools have been asked for 10 billion times and Mojang was always replied "No. That's all the tools you get."
Obsidian has a number of legitimate and vital purposes. The Nether Portal, Enchanting Table, and the Ender Chest. That's plenty for now considering Clay only recently has more than one uses (none of which have a function)
In RL Obsidian is a brittle, razor sharp, volcanic glass, but minecraft has chosen to alter this in favor of it being super-hard, cooled, lava which possesses magical properties. This doesn't belong as a picture frame.
Ok, so Obsidian shouldn't be more overpowered than diamonds but could be more durible than diamond considering how long it thakes to mine it. Obsidian blok may not really need tools, it actually needs more decoration-type blocks. Sorry when I said osidian needed more power over diamonds it actually makes more sence to say obisdian is more durible. XD
How about Obsidian tools are very slow and only equivalent to wood/stone tools, but they last forever and are as enchantable as gold? Because the Unbreaking enchantment would be redundant on indestructible tools, for pick-axes, it would instead allow them to mine the next level of ore, e.g. Unbreaking I can mine iron, Unbreaking II can mine gold, redstone, and diamond. Either that, or it could be a new enchantment only for pickaxes. No mining obsidian, though, so obsidian tools come at the cost of the durability of your diamond pick. There would be no Obsidian armor, as it would be too O.P. The fortune enchantment could also be rather O.P, so it could be disabled.
Keep in mind that despite theoretically lasting forever, all tools are sure to eventually get lost in lava.
This would encourage players to get very high level enchantments, instead of just enchanting everything level 1, which the game, unfortunately, encourages. Of course, due to the abundance of Obsidian, this could instead utilize a new ore.
Obsidian tools are indeedly considered to be overpower. BUT, it can be nullified as well.
To nullify those, set it at requirements:
- The actual process is harder to make it. For example, obsidian must be used in a furnace creating obsidian ingots (though, obsidian itself isn't a metal), and 2 obsidian ingots make one obsidian stick
- Every tool requires one diamond to make. Swords do NOT exist.
- Obsidian armour needs a cobination of diamonds/ender eyes to make.
- Obsidian wear can NOT be enchanted
- The base values must pass diamond, but not the enchantments along with it.
This way, obsidian gear is much harder to make, and has some cons as well. That should make obsidian not overpowered at all, because diamond (e) still surpasses it.
about the obsidian use, I use obsidian as an outer wall for my buildings to prevent creepers blowing up the walls. It is REALLY usefull as it's the only place-able block that has an incredibly high explosion resistance.But yes, I am in for more obsidian utility. Maybe combine it with another useless ore: Lapis? I'm confident you will come up with something exciting.

You want to be a dragon? Well, then you need to have wings, a passion to hoard, and have a deadly breath.
Oh, and did I forgot to tell you dragons are extremely territorial? ROAWR >:)
I don't really like the idea the idea of obsidian tools, and I prefer it to be used for the more magical objects. But obsidian HAs actually been used for arrows and knifes in real life, so maybe there could be some tools that are ONLY able to be crafted using obsidian. Maybe there could be a magic knife, which would be used to bring golems to life, so they wouldn't be able to be made without using obsidian.

Be caring, please help my dragon hatch by giving him a little click.
Obsidian can already be used to kinda make teleportation devices. OK, not really, but it does reduce travel time.
Portal in overworld + portal generated in the Nether + path in the Nether to another portal in the Nether + portal generated in the overworld = 1/8th the travel distance. One block in the Nether corresponds to 8 blocks aboveground. This is why I make a path in the Nether to all of my far-away areas.
No obisidian tools.
Like the first poster already said, it would make diamonds practically useless, as getting 3 diamonds can easily get you infinite obsidian tools, until your 3 diamond die, and you spend 20 minutes getting 3 more, therefore getting you 1562 obsidians.
1. Obsidian tools are overpowered and just don't make sense. Obsidian is volcanic glass, you know.
2. Obsidian stairs and maybe brick is a good idea.
3. Obsidian picture frames and stuff... that's just weird, so no.
4. Teleportation: NO.

better looking building blocks get a texture pack
teleportation throw a ender pearl

Obsidian stairs. Hmmm. Not a bad idea.
Had to agree with you on that. It could be used for better decoration.

Not a new one, either:

He wants stuff like obsidian brick (like how there is stone brick). Texture packs would not help here.
