Obsidian Armor
by MykalJacsun
Obsidian Armor lets players craft armor pieces from obsidian blocks, with protection that resists fire and stats set above netherite.
What it does
Armor sets are crafted from obsidian blocks and cover the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots slots, so they work in inventory, hotbar and chest slots like other armor. The obsidian pieces are flameproof and offer better stats than netherite, which makes them a late-game option for survival worlds. Some players find the set too strong, though the mod is still described as fun to play with deaths that are not punishing. Forge and Fabric builds for 1.20.1 are published, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is covered by All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Obsidian crafting recipes
Obsidian blocks become the material for a full armor set, giving players an option besides netherite.
Flameproof protection
The obsidian armor pieces resist fire, which keeps the set useful in nether and lava-heavy areas.
Stronger than netherite
The stats of the obsidian pieces sit above netherite armor, so they offer more defense per piece.

How it compares
Adamandite is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so its code is open and it does not cover Fabric. Some More Obsidian! is Forge only and spans 1.12.2 – 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, which makes it the longer-running choice for older versions.

Adds the option to craft armor out of obsidian blocks. The armor is flameproof + has better stats than netherite. Great for any modded survival worlds.
