Frequently Asked Questions

How do I spawn multiple Obsidian at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Obsidian 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the Obsidian. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

Does the Obsidian spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The Obsidian then spawns the same way.

What is the class name for the Obsidian?

The class name for the Obsidian is PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.

Is the Obsidian a DLC item or part of the base game?

The Obsidian is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.

What is the Obsidian class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the Obsidian by its class PrimalItemResource_Obsidian_C or GFI PrimalItemResource_Obsidian. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the Obsidian?

Both spawn the Obsidian. gfi PrimalItemResource_Obsidian matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 141 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

Can I spawn the Obsidian over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Obsidian 1 0 0. If your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.

When was the Obsidian data last updated?

The Obsidian entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.

Where can I copy the Obsidian spawn command?

Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full Obsidian command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.

What's the full blueprint path of the Obsidian?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Obsidian.PrimalItemResource_Obsidian'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Obsidian.PrimalItemResource_Obsidian'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

What's the difference between the Obsidian GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItemResource_Obsidian is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Obsidian.PrimalItemResource_Obsidian'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same Obsidian.

How do I spawn the Obsidian in ARK: Survival Ascended?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Obsidian 1 0 0. That gives you one Obsidian instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.

Which game is the Obsidian from?

The Obsidian is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

How do I spawn the Obsidian by its item ID?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 141 1 0 0 in the admin console. GiveItemNum spawns by numeric ID, which is precise for scripts and control panels. The trailing numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.

What do the numbers in the Obsidian spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Obsidian 1 0 0, the code identifies the Obsidian, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard Obsidian.

Is the Obsidian blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/CoreBlueprints/Resources/PrimalItemResource_Obsidian.PrimalItemResource_Obsidian'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the Obsidian?

In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the Obsidian spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

How do I give the Obsidian to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 141 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 141 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the Obsidian during events and giveaways.

How do I spawn the Obsidian as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Obsidian 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).

What does the Obsidian do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A resource item used in crafting higher-tier engrams and structures, spawnable via GFI code or item ID.

How do I spawn a higher-quality Obsidian?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItemResource_Obsidian 1 100 0 attempts a top tier Obsidian. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

How do I open the console to spawn the Obsidian?

How do I add the Obsidian to a starter kit or loadout?
