The flowing water has been blocked off from the still lava pool with cobble-
stone
FIGURE 10.3
Fencing or blocking off the water flow with a cobblestone barrier exposes
the obsidian.
4.
If there's no water nearby, stand back a little and pour water from one of your
buckets so that it spills down onto a bordering block and then flows over the lava.
The best way to do this is to stand at least one block up. (Place a block and jump
on it if a block isn't there already, or there's no nearby ledge.) This ensures you
don't get washed toward the lava, or backward into another danger zone.
Tip:
Is The Lava the Only Source of Light?
Place some torches around before you extinguish the lava so you're not left stand-
ing in the dark.
5.
Let the water flow as far as it can, converting the lava lake to an expanse of obsidi-
an, and then fill your bucket from the water source block to remove the water and
expose the obsidian, as shown in
Figure 10.4
. If you can't pick up the water source
block, place other blocks around, and you'll eventually dry it up.
