Maintain Obsidian Scarcity in Multiplayer Worlds

Enforce Custom Obsidian Rules

This data pack is ideal for multiplayer servers where you want obsidian to remain a limited resource. By removing the generator recipe, players cannot mass-produce obsidian and must use your designated farming method instead.

Communicate the Change

Inform players that obsidian generation is disabled and direct them to the approved method—whether that's nether mining, end island collection, or a specific farm you've built. This prevents confusion and keeps progression consistent.

Monitor Compliance

Check player inventories or use logs to ensure no one is circumventing the system. Since the recipe is removed at the data pack level, players cannot craft the block even with creative mode enabled in survival, maintaining your world's balance rules.
