Armor Effects

by ThatGuyIsReed

Armor Effects gives each armor material its own status effects, so a set of gear grants a bonus while it is worn.

FabricServer-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.21.11 – 26.1.2

What it does

Each armor material carries a set of status effects that apply to the player while the pieces are equipped. The effects listed by the author include Luck 1, Speed 1, Strength 1, Fire Resistance 1, Night Vision, Absorption 1, Luck 5, and a combination of Speed 3 with Jump Boost 2. The mod is described as a new mechanic built on material-based status effects, and it was created by a 13-year-old developer.

The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing it and clients need nothing extra. Fabric API is required. Files target 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, with the latest Fabric build being 1.0.4+mc26.1.2 for 26.1.2, published on 2026-06-07. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which makes it open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Material-based effects

    Armor pieces are tied to their material, so the effects that come with a set depend on what it is made of.

  2. Combined effects

    Some materials grant more than one effect at once, such as Speed 3 together with Jump Boost 2.

  3. Vision and survival effects

    Effects like Night Vision, Fire Resistance and Absorption let worn gear change how the character copes with the world.
