This mod adds the capability of smelting obsidian blocks to turn them into ingots. This ingots can be used as any other ingot to make tools and armor. The Obsidian tools are 2 times stronger than diamond tools and the Armor will protect you 2 times more. Repairing the tools is possible by combining the damaged tool with an Obsidian Ingot using an anvil.
Crafting Recipes are exactly as iron, diamond, wood and gold tools and armor as well.
Be sure to smelt the obsidian block before crafting!

Love the mod! What is the mining speed and damage capability compared to diamond?
It is 2.3 times faster but when coding, I don't get to choose the exact seconds, I only put the power level and depends on what block you are trying to destroy. PS, Obsidian Pickaxe destroys obsidian blocks in 4.3 seconds.
If you mean light purple, It is because I didn't think it was going to look that light... I will modify textures in the next version to make them darker. I also have some nice ideas to add to this mod
Pretty good mod, nice to find one that actually works properly with forge. A lot of obsidian tools/armor mods I've found don't work with Forge for some reason.
One slight thing though, is that since Obsidian is so easy to get, it's a bit overpowered in my opinion. You might wanna consider doing something with recipes a bit to make it cost a bit more. Maybe even something as simple as crafting 4 obsidian together to make an Obsidian Block, then smelting that instead, so it takes 4 obsidian for 1 ingot. Just because it's way better than diamond, but a lot easier to get than diamond. I do like that it's better than diamond though.
Another recipe suggestion could be surrounding a piece of obsidian with iron ingots to make reinforced obsidian, then smelting that into the ingot.
Also, if possible, you might wanna make the shovel less 'efficient'. You barely click at the moment, and it goes through multiple dirt blocks..kinda annoying at times.

Just some ideas, but still a good mod.
All this are awesome comments and ideas. In the next update, I will nerf the tools since they are very overpowered and the armor wont let you die even if you are drowning in lava. And I will add "Block of Obsidian" which is like block of iron and gold and diamonds but this one will be stronger.
In the next update I will do the following:
- Drastically Nerf the Armor
- Make the Obsidian Tools only .8x times stronger than diamond but twice as resistant
- Add a Block of Obsidian that is made placing obsidian ingots in a 2x2 grid.
Do I understand it right? A tool out of obsidian is stronger than a diamond?
If this is true, that would be very sad - just a further OP mod
(If not - sry and forget what I say)
I can made a obsidanmachine an produce so much than I want - in short time.
Instead of diamonds, to get them I´ve to mine some.
So I think obsidian should never be "better" than diamond.
Maybe a bit stronger than iron and lava+explosion resist.
Only my opinion, I am sure there a lot of ppl who like it this op way
anyway - have luck and keep going,
Wishes
Honestly, the whole reason I use the mod is because it's better than diamond. I want something better than diamond to work towards getting. I don't need tools that are worse than diamond, I already have iron. Really, if the tools and stuff ended up being worse than diamond, I probably wouldn't even use the mod, I'm fine with using iron.
As I was saying, the best way to do it in my opinion, is to keep it stronger than Diamond, but change the recipe. Like, multiple obsidian+iron = Block. Then smelt the block into an ingot, so it costs a bit more to make. (Doesn't need to be that recipe, it was just an example).
I don't really want it OP, I just want it to stay better than Diamond. (Although I'd prefer it not requiring diamonds in the recipe..)
Any chance that you could make this work on Forge servers? I would love to be able to host this on my server, and I would be more than happy to beta test it on my server for you.

Sorry, my programming skills are not good when it comes to server side mods. Unless someone is willing to help me I would appreciate it a lot!

I like this mod, but I agree with TXF. Mods should add something different or useful to minecraft, or else it will just be another forgotten mod. Having obsidian qualities less than diamond would be pointless, since we always strive to get the best weapon/tools/armor. By making it better than diamond in quality and/or durability, it would be worthwhile to attain. TXF made a good point that it can be balanced with some rather difficult recipes, possibly with emerald, blaze rods, or ender pearls.
