Armor Ideas
by LAirHisson
Armor Ideas adds four new armor sets to NeoForge 1.21.1, each with its own abilities, and it needs to be installed on the server and on every player's client.
What it does
Four armor sets draw on community suggestions. One of them extends the Turtle Helmet into a full aquatic outfit made of leggings, a chestplate and boots, and wearing the complete outfit lets a player swim faster and makes them immune to mining fatigue.
Other sets trade in different directions. A bouncy armor lets the wearer jump higher and bounces attacking mobs off the ground, while a Slime Helmet lets the wearer stick to ceilings and move across them. A copper armor can be upgraded into Robot Armor, which runs on redstone energy and gains abilities such as electric pulses and high-speed dashes. Heavier Netherite and Obsidian armor gives stronger protection at a cost, and wearing it can apply Slowness and keep the wearer from riding entities that would otherwise sink them in water.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, for the single game version 1.21.1. The latest file is 1.0, dated 2025-07-29, the same day the mod was first published and last updated. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

What the author says
I asked my YouTube subscribers to suggest armor ideas — and I picked 4 of them to bring into the game through this mod! This set completes the turtle helmet with custom aquatic gear: Squid Leggings, a Guardian Chestplate, and Axolotl Boots.
