Obsidian's Tools
Obsidian's Tools adds a full set of obsidian swords, tools and armor for NeoForge 1.21.4, placed between diamond and netherite gear in progression.
What it does
Obsidian's Tools gives players a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe made from a custom Obsidian Ingot, along with a matching armor set. The gear is meant to sit between diamond and netherite, with higher durability than diamond and better protection, plus some resistance to fire and explosions. Obsidian Ingots are crafted from regular obsidian, so the material is reachable before netherite is.
The mod is client and server, so a server and every player who joins it must both run it. The files are published for NeoForge only, for the single game version 1.21.4, and the latest file is 1.0.0 released on 2025-10-16. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, which means the source code is not published under an open license.
Key features
Obsidian tool set
Sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe are all made from the Obsidian Ingot, each tuned to be tougher than its diamond counterpart.
Obsidian armor set
Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots give armor protection equal to diamond, with extra toughness and durability.
Tools that break everything
The obsidian pickaxe and other tools can break what netherite tools break, with a slightly slower breaking speed.
Optional fire resistance
Wearing the full obsidian armor set grants fire resistance, which can be useful near lava and burning areas.

Use cases
Mid-game upgrade
Players who have finished the diamond stage can craft the obsidian set as a step up before they reach netherite.
Who it’s for: Players who want an intermediate gear tier between diamond and netherite, and server owners who want a tool and armor upgrade that every player on the server can use.
How it compares
Emerald tools & Armor is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4, also client and server and under All rights reserved, so it targets the same version and environment. Equipment+ is published for 1.21.1 on NeoForge and is client and server, under All rights reserved, so it does not cover 1.21.4. Monyo'sIR is also NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is client and server, under All rights reserved. End Diamonds is NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is client and server, under All rights reserved.
