How to Get Magic Obsidian Armor and Tools

Mining and Refining Ancient Obsidian

Magic Obsidian gear offers higher durability and fire resistance than standard Netherite. Before you begin, bring a pickaxe enchanted with Fortune.

1. In the Nether, mine Ancient Debris. With this mod installed, Ancient Debris drops Netherite Scraps directly when mined without needing a furnace.

2. Enter the Deep Dark Wastes dimension and dig deep underground. Look for pockets of obsidian blocks encasing Ancient Obsidian Debris.

3. Mine the Ancient Obsidian Debris using your Fortune pickaxe to get extra raw Ancient Obsidian Scraps directly.

4. At a Crafting Table, combine 4 Ancient Obsidian Scraps and 4 Netherite Scraps to craft an Ancient Obsidian Ingot.

Upgrading Netherite Gear at a Smithing Table

To apply the ingots to your gear, you must locate a dark underground Herobrine Shrine. Defeat the Herobrine guarding the area and loot the shrine chests to find a Magic Obsidian Upgrade smithing template.

Because these shrines are rare, you should duplicate the template before using your last copy. You can craft duplicates using a Dragon Egg (dropped by Ender Ghasts in the Deeper Dark) and Netherite Ingots.

Once you have your materials, open a Smithing Table:

1. Place the Magic Obsidian Upgrade in the template slot.

2. Place your piece of Netherite armor, tool, or weapon in the base slot.

3. Place an Ancient Obsidian Ingot in the material slot to finish the upgrade.
