Armor Refit
by CalebTheHat
Armor Refit changes how armor, alloys and a few crafting items work in Minecraft 1.21.1 on Forge.
What it does
It adds an Alloy Furnace, a utility block that smelts items and blocks in bulk, and alloys made by combining ingots and raw materials. Its heat source can be a block of coal, a bucket of lava, or a set of its own parts. Armor pieces such as the chainmail chestplate and helmet receive new textures, and several armors are trimmed. Recipes are shapeless, and the Flint Steel is renamed Fire Striker to fit the mod's applications. Matching copper armor is included for the new Minecraft update, and the mod may let players undo the maille armor changes. Armor Refit is released under the MIT License, is not open source, and is installed on the client and the server, so both sides need it.
