How to Make Obsidian in Infinite Craft

Here's how to make Obsidian in Infinite Craft in just three simple steps.

Infinite Craft is the latest element-combining game that takes an incredibly simple premise - combining the four basic elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water to create new objects and elements - and brings it to entirely new heights. Utilizing an AI to create inventive combinations and categories, Infinite Craft has hundreds of thousands of possible combinations and solutions to reach almost any creation that players can think of.

With such a huge pool of creations, it can be difficult to find the exact combination you'll need to create a specific result. With multiple solutions, one player might create the desired answer in five moves, and another may take 50 - that's the beauty of using AI to learn and grow the game. 

How, then, can a player make a specific building block such as Obsidian? Don't worry - we've found one of the best ways to create the word "Obsidian" in Infinite Craft so you can continue using it for future combinations.

Making Obsidian in Infinite Craft

You now have the two integral blocks which combine to make the one you desire in Infinite Craft ready. The final step involves merging your Lava block with your new Stone block to produce Obsidian. If you consider the way that the AI is interpreting Lava and Stone together, the recipe starts to make sense. In real life, obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that forms after lava cools quickly.

In Infinite Craft, it seems that the AI relates the Lava block's connection with the Stone block as a similar process to its real-world counterpart. For a quick overview of how it goes down in-game, take a look at our handy table below for a step-by-step breakdown of how to create Lava, Stone, and eventually, Obsidian in Infinite Craft.
