Infinite Craft grants you a realm of infinite possibilities, but you won’t be able to craft the game’s most elusive items without the basics. Obsidian is a great basic tool to have in your back pocket for constructing numerous combinations, and it’s easy to make.

It only takes five steps to craft Obsidian in Infinite Craft, and the beginning of the process simply requires combining two Earths, one of the items you start with.

Combining two Earths will give you a Mountain, which can then be paired with yet another Earth to create a Volcano. Then, put another Earth into Volcano to produce Lava, which will produce Stone when combined with Earth again. With all the items you need now in hand, combine Stone and Lava and you finally get Obsidian.

Obsidian can be used to craft many other useful items. Obsidian and Water combine to create Glass, while combining it with even more Earth produces a Diamond. To get the color Black, you can also craft Glass and Obsidian together to produce a Mirror, and then combine the Mirror with another piece of Obsidian.

These items can be utilized as paths to bigger things, including a Black Hole—generated with Obsidian and an Eclipse—which is key to making God in Infinite Craft.
