Obsidian Expanded
by JovialDuck78
Obsidian Expanded adds obsidian-based armor, tools and a crafting recipe set for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1.
What it does
Obsidian Expanded adds a set of items that use obsidian as their main material, with crafting recipes for each. The armor is aimed at strong defense, so a player wearing the full set is hard to push back, and the mallet is built around heavy, deliberate strikes rather than quick hits. A shard that can be used without wearing out supports both fighting and everyday utility.
The mod is meant for adventure play and combat-focused survival, where players want gear that differs from the usual iron and diamond tiers. Installation needs only Forge for 1.20.1; no other mod is listed as required. Obsidian Expanded runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and the latest file, 1.0.0, was published on 2025-01-04.
Key features
Obsidian armor set
Armor pieces made from obsidian, built to give the wearer strong resistance against tough enemies.
Obsidian mallet
A heavy weapon whose strikes are slower and more forceful, suited to a measured combat style.
Reusable obsidian shard
The shard can be used repeatedly, so it works as a dependable part of a tool kit for offense and utility.
Crafting recipes
Each obsidian item has a crafting recipe, so players can reach the set through normal progression.

Who it’s for: Players who want obsidian-themed equipment for combat and adventure on Forge 1.20.1, on servers or single-player worlds with the mod installed on both sides.
How it compares
Obsidian Expanded is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only and is not open source. Crying Obsidian Expansion also uses an MIT License, but it targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, so it covers more loaders and versions. Titan Obsidian is another Forge 1.20.1 option under All rights reserved, and is not open source either.
