Obsidian Cometfall

Quickstart

1. Travel to the End and keep an open view of the sky.
2. Wait for an Obsidian Comet to appear overhead. Comets are checked for about once per second, with a 20% chance for each eligible player.
3. Move away when you see one. It falls from the sky and detonates when it reaches solid terrain.
4. Search the Creative inventory for the mod’s blocks and items if you want to experiment immediately. Place the blocks like ordinary Minecraft blocks.
5. After a crash, mine the crystal-shaped blocks with a pickaxe to collect shards. Bring the shards to a crafting table to create more comet materials.

Overview

Obsidian Cometfall brings dangerous meteor impacts to the End. Each impact creates a powerful crater surrounded by dark, star-speckled obsidian materials.

The comet is a large, purplish-black meteor with a mostly dark surface and sparse white specks. Its impact produces a compact deposit of rare blocks and crystalized fragments.

What It Adds

How To Use

Finding a Comet

Obsidian Comets appear naturally only in the End. They do not appear in the Overworld or Nether.

When a comet check succeeds, the comet appears a short distance away from a player in the End and begins falling from above. Only one comet can be active within roughly 64 blocks of a player, so move through different areas if you want to search for more impacts.

Surviving the Impact

A comet’s explosion has power 12—about three times the power of TNT. It breaks blocks but does not cause fire.

When you see a comet falling:

• Move well away from its landing point.
• Avoid standing directly beneath it.
• Do not build valuable structures near an active impact site.
• Return after the explosion to collect the materials.

Harvesting the Deposits

Each impact creates a central cluster containing:

• Several Star Obsidian Blocks
• Several Crystalized Star Obsidian blocks
• Between one and four Crystalized Obsidian Fragments around the crater

Use a pickaxe to mine the two crystal-shaped blocks. The Star Obsidian Block is much slower to mine and is intended as a highly durable building material.

Recoloring a Comet in Creative

In Creative mode, hold a dye and interact with an Obsidian Comet to change its color. Dyes can give it colors such as black, gray, white, purple, blue, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, brown, lime, cyan, light blue, silver, and magenta.

Crafting And Obtaining

Star Obsidian Shard

Mine Crystalized Star Obsidian to obtain 2–5 Star Obsidian Shards per block.

Obsidian Shard

Mine Crystalized Obsidian Fragment to obtain 2–5 Obsidian Shards per block.

Star Obsidian Block

Craft one Star Obsidian Block from nine Star Obsidian Shards.

Crystalized Star Obsidian

Craft one Crystalized Star Obsidian from one Star Obsidian Shard and four Amethyst Shards.

Crystalized Obsidian Fragment

Craft one Crystalized Obsidian Fragment from one Obsidian Shard and four Obsidian blocks.

All three recipes are made at a crafting table.

Abilities And Mechanics

Obsidian Comet

• Appears only in the End.
• Has 30 health.
• Measures 3×3 blocks.
• Falls from the sky toward solid terrain.
• Explodes on impact with power 12.
• Breaks blocks but does not create fire.
• Is immune to fire.
• Drops 0–1 Shulker Shell when defeated.
• Awards 5 experience when killed by a player.

Defeating a comet before it reaches the ground prevents its impact explosion and crater deposit.

Impact Deposit

The explosion is followed by a central material cluster. The Star Obsidian Blocks and Crystalized Star Obsidian are placed at the impact center, while one to four Crystalized Obsidian Fragments are scattered approximately 4–6 blocks away around the crater.

Block Durability

The three blocks have different mining behavior:

• Star Obsidian Block: Full-block shape, exceptionally slow to mine, and highly resistant to explosions.
• Crystalized Star Obsidian: Crystal-shaped, pickaxe-destructible, and drops Star Obsidian Shards.
• Crystalized Obsidian Fragment: Crystal-shaped, pickaxe-destructible, and drops Obsidian Shards.

For shard collection, mine the two crystal-shaped blocks rather than relying on the solid Star Obsidian Block.

Progression And Strategy

1. Establish a safe observation area in the End with room to retreat.
2. Watch the sky for falling comets and mark each crater after the explosion.
3. Bring a pickaxe so you can harvest the crystal deposits efficiently.
4. Use Star Obsidian Shards to craft Star Obsidian Blocks and Crystalized Star Obsidian.
5. Use Obsidian Shards with ordinary Obsidian to craft Crystalized Obsidian Fragments.
6. Reserve Star Obsidian Blocks for structures that need strong explosion resistance.
7. Keep crater locations marked so you can return for additional shards or use the deposits as dark, star-speckled decorations.
