Obsidian Glass Mod
by rcatlab
Obsidian Glass adds a translucent building block that keeps the blast resistance and toughness of obsidian while pistons can move it.
What it does
Obsidian Glass is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20 – 1.20.4, and it needs Fabric API. Its blocks are meant for fortified shelters and builds that have to resist explosions, yet still let light and the view through. Players who want glass that holds up to the same damage as obsidian can use it in place of ordinary obsidian in walls and roofs.
Pistons can push and pull Obsidian Glass, which is the main difference from vanilla obsidian. That makes movable doors, sliding walls and mechanisms possible with a material that would normally be immovable. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source. Files exist for five release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest build, first published on 2024-02-28.
Key features
Obsidian-strength glass
The glass blocks match obsidian in toughness, so they resist explosions in the same way.
Piston-movable blocks
Unlike vanilla obsidian, these blocks can be moved by pistons, enabling sliding and folding constructions.
Translucent appearance
The blocks stay see-through like glass, which keeps the look of a build open while it stays hard to break.
Fortified shelters
Walls and ceilings made from the blocks give a secure, explosion-resistant enclosure with a view outside.

Use cases
Blast-resistant bases
Builders can place the blocks in walls or roofs where the protection of obsidian is needed but windows are wanted too.
Moving mechanisms
Pistons can slide the blocks, so doors, lifts and shifting walls can be built from a material that holds up to force.
Who it’s for: Players who build bases, shelters or redstone contraptions in survival worlds and want a transparent block with obsidian-level durability. Servers that run the mod need every player to have it installed as well.
