I think that obsidian in minecraft isn't very realistic, so im proposing a mod to make it better. For those who do not know, obsidian is a sharp, volcanic glass. This is from Wiki.
"Because of this lack of crystal structure, obsidian blade edges can reach almost molecular thinness, leading to its ancient use as projectile points and blades, and its modern use as surgical scalpel blades. Obsidian was valued in Stone Age cultures because, like flint, it could be fractured to produce sharp blades or arrowheads."
I think obsidian swords would be cool. When broken, obsidian should make 1 obsidian shard. (you can reverse this in the crafttable.) Then, 3 obsidian shards makes an obsidian blade, which could be attached to a hilt. EXAMPLE
Shard=
[] []
[] [] = obsidian blade
[] []
[] []
= Obsidian sword.
[] []
Also, obsidian arrows would be cool.
]" title="-<->" />
The sword would have a 25% chance to instantly kill mobs, and a 1% chance to fracture and be lost.
I think this would be cooler than the other obsidian mods.Im in the process of making sprites. Here is one
I used to live in Iceland so I've seen allot of obsidian
last time I saw obsidian i when I went to Eyjafjallajökull (the latest volcano eruption)
I thought it was really hard to destroy because MC says so.... well, I have a back bag full of it xD
EDIT: NO I SHALL DO THIS! I will definitely do this
ok so to make 2 obsidian shard is 1 obsidian
and 3 shards is 1 blade
and 2 blades + hilt is a sword
I can't make the 25% chance or the 1% to destroy so i will replace it with a TON of damage nearly enough to take out a whole nether of zombie pigs

Well im glad ur doing this! But im bummed u cant do the % things. Could you also do arrows with the obby shards for 2x damage? I made a sword sprite check it out im also gonna make blade and shard sprites.

thnks i suk at drawing, i will make the arrows too
Here is the obsidian shard, It sucks >.<
Also, to balance the obsidian arrows, make them break upon impact, to prevent people from simply spamming them.

So you were basically playing Minecraft in real life? You, my friend, are a boss.
