Arc's Dutiful Armor
Arc's Dutiful Armor adds armor, tools and a weapon set forged in an ancient style, along with three material tiers and unique ore blocks, for NeoForge 26.1.
What it does
The armor and tools are modeled on the old forged set that the mod describes, with new sprites recreated for each piece. Materials are grouped into light, medium, heavy and unique tiers, and the heavy tier includes Heavy Iron as a separate material. A separate Excalibar material supports its own armor and tools, and the mod also adds unique ore variant blocks that yield those materials when broken.
Each armor piece carries special effects such as fire resistance, speed, strength and absorption. The body patches adjust how armor works on the player, which changes how the set feels in use. Ways to obtain these tools and armor are described in the mod's notes, and they are part of the progression the mod sets out.
The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, covering game versions 1.21.8 – 26.1 across five release versions: 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.1. The latest file is 1.0.1.1 for 26.1, published 2026-03-26. Both client and server need the mod.
