The Obsessed Crafting Guide: Core Recipes and the Crafting Machine
The Obsessed - Advanced Psychological Horror, Arachnid Stalker adds a single, dedicated Crafting machine that handles all of its unique item progression. This guide covers the basics of that machine and its six core recipes.
The Crafting Machine
The Crafting machine is your central tool for creating the mod’s cursed and stalker-themed items. It does not function like a standard crafting table; instead, it accepts specific combinations of the mod’s materials. You will need to gather the correct ingredients and place them into the machine in the exact quantities shown below. The machine has no other recipes beyond these six, so if an item is not listed here, it cannot be made with this device.
Core Ingredients
Before using the Crafting machine, you must collect its primary components:
Diseased Ball Of Hair – The most common and versatile ingredient, used in every recipe.
Crushed Animal Remains – A secondary material required for the plushie.
Blackened Sewer Mush – A rare component used only in the plushie recipe.- Iron Armor Pieces – Standard iron boots, chestplate, helmet, and leggings are used as bases for the stalker armor set.
Recipes
The Crafting machine has exactly six recipes. They are grouped into two categories: the cursed item and the stalker armor set.
Cursed Plushie
- Recipe: Crushed Animal Remains x2 + Diseased Ball Of Hair x3 + Blackened Sewer Mush x4
- Result: Cursed Plushie
This is the only recipe that uses all three non-armor materials. The 
Cursed Plushie is the mod’s central cursed object, and its exact function is not covered here, but crafting it is the first step toward the mod’s deeper content.
Diseased Hair Block
- Recipe: Diseased Ball Of Hair x9
- Result: Diseased Hair Block
This is a simple storage and building recipe. It condenses nine individual balls of hair into a single block, which is useful for saving inventory space or for decorative purposes if you wish to display the mod’s materials.
Stalker Armor Set
The remaining four recipes each take a piece of iron armor and combine it with one Diseased Ball Of Hair to create a piece of the stalker armor set. The process is identical for each piece:
Iron Helmet + Diseased Ball Of Hair → 
Stalker Helmet
Iron Chestplate + Diseased Ball Of Hair → 
Stalker Chestplate
Iron Leggings + Diseased Ball Of Hair → 
Stalker Leggings
Iron Boots + Diseased Ball Of Hair → 
Stalker Boots
Each recipe consumes exactly one iron armor piece and one ball of hair, and produces the corresponding stalker armor piece. There is no way to upgrade other armor types, and you cannot use damaged or enchanted iron armor in these recipes—only standard, undamaged pieces will work.
Practical Notes
- The
Diseased Hair Block can be crafted back into nine balls of hair if you ever need to reverse the process, though this is not stated in the machine’s recipes. - The stalker armor pieces do not require any additional materials beyond the iron base and one ball of hair each, making them cheap to produce once you have a steady supply of hair.
- The Cursed Plushie is the most expensive recipe, requiring a total of nine ingredients across three different types, so gather materials deliberately before attempting it.
Use the Crafting machine to produce the Cursed Plushie first, as it likely unlocks the mod’s main narrative or event chain, then craft the full stalker armor set for protection and utility. The Diseased Hair Block is optional but handy for storage. All recipes are straightforward, but the ingredient quantities are fixed—do not attempt to substitute or alter them.
