more obsidian
more obsidian adds a large family of obsidian variants to the game: stairs, slabs, walls, doors, trapdoors, fences, fence gates, pressure plates, buttons and sticks, plus a retro texture set.
What it does
The mod extends the vanilla obsidian block family so builders get blast-resistant parts in more shapes. Entryways, decorative blocks and redstone components are made of the same material, which suits bunkers and nether hub portal rooms where plain obsidian cubes look heavy. Crafting components such as obsidian sticks let the blocks combine into finer details.
Two nostalgic variants recreate classic early-Minecraft looks: Old Obsidian restores the earlier texture, and Old Crying Obsidian is a glowing variant modeled on the beta days. Fence sounds were fixed in this release. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, all for 1.21.8, with 1.0.1 as the latest file on each loader.
