Armadillo Scute Armor
by Lupin
Armadillo Scute Armor lets players craft armor sets from armadillo scutes, with armor pieces that sit between leather and iron in protection.
What it does
The mod adds a full armor set made from armadillo scutes. Each piece is crafted the same way as vanilla armor, using scutes in place of the usual material, and the set includes trims and enchantments like any other armor. Scutes gained from armadillos become useful after the early part of the game, when a player has few materials to spend.
The armor is a little tougher than leather armor and a little weaker than iron armor, so it fills the gap between the two. Players who keep armadillos alive for their scutes get a steady supply without mining or trading.
Installation needs no other mod. Armadillo Scute Armor runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across four game versions, 1.20.5 – 1.21.1, under All rights reserved.
