Introduced in Minecraft version 1.16, Crying Obsidian is a variant of obsidian that emits purple particles and looks as though it’s oozing a purple liquid, hence the “crying” name.
On occasion, players seeing ruined Nether portals in the Overworld or the Nether may come across Crying Obsidian, as it sometimes appears as part of the broken and abandoned portals. Additionally, Crying Obsidian can sometimes be found within loot chests inside the Nether’s Bastion Remnants.
Piglins even occasionally give players Crying Obsidian if they are willing to barter with them by providing them gold ingots. While there are a few ways to get Crying Obsidian, the block has one particular use besides decoration, and that is creating a Respawn Anchor.

The End, or any custom dimensions created via mods, the block will explode and set fire to the surrounding area.
