The Elusive Diamond
Lava and Obsidian
In the deeper layers of the Overworld you may come across lava lakes. When lava touches water different things can happen:
- If lava flows on top of running of stationary water, the lava will solidify to Stone.
- If lava flows horizontally against water, the lava will solidify to Cobblestone.
- If water flows horizontally against lava, nothing happens.
- If water flows vertically into lava, cobblestones forms or nothing happens.
- If water flows into a lava source block, the lava will solidify into Obsidian.
- If vertically falling water touches the lava source block on any side, the lava will solidify into Obsidian.
Lava source blocks cannot be created and must be found in the caves and lava spread from them.
Obsidian
Obsidian is a very hard block and can only be successful be mined with a Diamond Pickaxe. Obsidian can use to make Enchantment Tables, Ender Chests and building a Nether Portal.
(Optional) Ranged Weaponry
You can make a Bow using 3 Sticks and 3 pieces of String. String is a drop form Spiders and can be harvest from Cobwebs. Use the materials as follows in the crafting grid:
| Stick | String | |
| Stick | String | |
| Stick | String |
You can equip your Bow as a weapon. But it needs Arrows as ammo. To make an Arrow you need 1 Feather, 1 piece of Flint and 1 Stick, which gives you 4 Arrows. Feathers are drops of Chickens and Flint can be dug out of Gravel. Place the Flint in the top row of a Crafting Table grid. Place the Stick under the Flint. And place the Feather under the Stick.
First 
to draw back the Bow if you have at least 1 Arrow. Hold the longer to shoot farther and cause more damage. At maximum charge your bow will shake and cause up to 9 damage, fire up a distance of 64 blocks (64 m) and travel at a speed of 53 m/s. Release the to fire. You can't run on foot with a charged Bow.
