Obsidian Equipment Reworked

A Fabric mod that adds a full set of Obsidian equipment to Minecraft, filling the gap between Diamond and Netherite. Craft powerful tools and armor from Obsidian Ingots — a new material blasted from obsidian.

Getting Started

Obtaining Obsidian Ingots

Obsidian Ingots are obtained by blasting Obsidian in a Blast Furnace.

Upgrading

All tools and armor follow the upgrade system using the Obsidian Upgrade. You must go from Diamond to Obsidian, then Obsidian to Netherite.

Obsidian Upgrade Smithing Template

To upgrade Diamond gear to Obsidian, you need the Obsidian Upgrade Smithing Template. It is found as loot in the following chests:

Chest	Drop chance
Bastion Treasure	20%
Nether Fortress	15%
Ancient City	15%
Bastion Other	13%
Bastion Bridge	13%
Stronghold Corridor	13%
Abandoned Mineshaft	11%
Ruined Portal	10%

The template can be duplicated in a Crafting Table using 7 Diamonds + 1 Obsidian + 1 Obsidian Upgrade Smithing Template, yielding 2 templates.

Horse Armor

Obsidian Horse Armor cannot be crafted. It can only be found as rare loot in a Nether Fortress, as Bastion Treasure, and Ruined Portal chests (18% chance).

Spear (1.21.11+)

The Obsidian Spear is crafted with the standard diagonal spear recipe using Obsidian Ingots. It sits between Diamond and Netherite in charge damage, knockback, and swing speed.

Nautilus Armor (1.21.11+)

Obsidian Nautilus Armor is rare loot found in Shipwreck Supply chests, Ocean Ruin chests, and Buried Treasure. It provides 15 body armor points (Diamond: 11, Netherite: 19).

Obsidian Nautilus Armor replaces Diamond as the base for upgrading to Netherite Nautilus Armor at the Smithing Table. It can also be smelted down into an Obsidian Ingot.

Stats

Obsidian equipment sits between Diamond and Netherite in power, making it a natural progression step.
