Alex's Exotic Armory
Alex's Exotic Armory adds over 50 new armor sets, tools and ores, with materials such as Moonstone, Ruby, Emerald and Bamboo, and crafting recipes for each.
What it does
Each material brings its own armor and tool set, crafted from ores and drops the mod adds. Several sets carry a fixed effect: Obsidian armor grants fire resistance, Rabbit Hide armor a jump boost, Amethyst armor haste with night vision, and Emerald armor luck. Weaker materials such as Brittlestone and Bamboo trade protection for other benefits.
New ores spawn in the world, among them a rare Moonstone ore that appears only below layer 128. Its tools and armor are presented as a step between diamond and the materials that follow. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge and runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Its files target 1.20.4 – 1.21.4, with 1.2.1 for 1.21.4 as the latest NeoForge build and 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest Forge build.
Installing the mod on the server and on every client keeps the new items usable in multiplayer. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source and redistribution is limited by the author.
