Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Crying Obsidian is a stone-family block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. Expect to wait: its hardness of 50 is well above average.
Mine it with a diamond pickaxe or better, or you get no drop at all. Broken correctly, it drops itself. It glows faintly at light level 10.
At 1200 blast resistance it is a genuinely blast-proof building material. It stacks to 64. It goes into exactly one recipe: Respawn Anchor.
