Questions about crying obsidian

Crying obsidian in Minecraft appeared in version 1.3. Then the developers said that this block would participate in the creation of the player's respawn point, but later they decided to use a bed for this purpose. In version 1.5, the crying obsidian was removed from the game because it was necessary to first prepare a place for more textures.
In the official Java Edition release in version 1.16, crying obsidian was added to the game again. It had only a decorative function and it could only be obtained by exchanging gold ingot from piglins. In subsequent snapshots of this version, some characteristics of this block have been changed. For example, its strength has been changed. If earlier the weeping obsidian could be destroyed even with a wooden pickaxe, now only with a diamond or netherite one. The Ender Dragon will also now be unable to destroy the crying obsidian block. Crying obsidian has become part of the rebirth anchor recipe.
Weeping obsidian is a solid block with a strength of 50. Now it can be destroyed with a diamond pickaxe (9.4 seconds to destroy), or with a netherite pickaxe (8.35 seconds to destroy).

Crying Obsidian has a luminosity level of 10 and an explosion resistance of 6000.
The easiest way to get crying obsidian is to trade with piglins. To do this, you need to stock up on gold ingots. You can get gold right in the Nether, observing precautions. Gold mining will cause aggression of piglins. To avoid this, the player needs to move away from them and make sure that a golden breastplate is worn. The resulting gold ingots should be thrown to the piglins. Piglin will take the ingot, and in response will throw another block or object. Thus, after some time, the player will be able to get enough crying obsidian.
Blocks of weeping obsidian are generated as part of dilapidated portals to the Nether. These portals can be found in Nether and ordinary world.

Crying obsidian is usually used for decorative purposes. Thanks to its interesting texture and the particles it emits, it is used to create surreal buildings. It emits purple light, which looks very beautiful.
It is explosion-resistant, which means that it will be difficult to destroy buildings from it for a long time with explosions. In addition, it is part of the Rebirth Anchor crafting recipe, which is designed to establish a rebirth point in the Nether.
- In early versions, it could even be destroyed with a wooden pickaxe, but it took a very long time.
