Obsidian Essentials
Obsidian Essentials is an add-on for Minecraft Bedrock Edition (both a Behavior Pack and Resource Pack) that gives server owners and administrators a complete suite of management tools, all controlled from inside the game through interactive menus and chat commands.
No external apps. No config files. Everything is done in-game.
What It Provides
| System | Description |
|---|---|
| Economy | Server currency with player balances, direct payments, item withdrawals, and player-owned shops. |
| Homes & Teleportation | Save personal home locations and send player-to-player TPA requests. |
| Land Claims | Protect builds by claiming chunks. Full-height protection with optional costs and TNT blocking. |
