Did you even read what I said? It has nothing to do with not mining it and everything to do with not hunting for it down in caves or dealing with possibly dying because you had to work around lava. I assure you, it's a LOT less effort and much safer as well.

Anyways, you HAVE to have a diamond pickaxe to even mine obsidian. Any other pickaxe will just destroy the block, and it'll take about a minute to do so at that.

Did YOU read what I said?  In a "good" lava cave, you can get 200 obsidian almost as easily as you can get 20.  Basic caution will keep you safe when mining a lava lake. 

Like I said, if you're exploring a natural cave, the hardest part of mining obsidian is having a diamond pick in the first place.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
