Sizes and quality
The Obsidian texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

Obsidian forms when flowing water touches a lava source. That is why you find it in caves where a spring has run over a lava lake, and why a water bucket is all you need to make your own. It only drops when mined with a diamond or netherite pickaxe; anything else takes ages and drops nothing.
It is the key piece of four important things: the Nether portal frame, the enchanting table, the beacon and the ender chest. A portal is a vertical rectangle from 4×5 up to 23×23, and the corners are not needed, which saves four blocks.
Its blast resistance is 1,200, the highest of anything obtainable in Survival, tied with crying obsidian, anvils and netherite blocks. The ender dragon cannot break it and pistons cannot move it. Its only weakness is the wither: blue wither skulls ignore that resistance, and it is the only mob that can break it.
There are renewable sources too: the 25-block platform you land on in the End regenerates every time you enter, the portals generated on the other side can be mined, and piglins barter it for gold.
