Armor To Health
by Happy1speed
Armor To Health changes how armor works, so each armor piece adds maximum health in place of damage reduction.
What it does
Instead of giving resistance against attacks, worn armor grants more maximum health. The mod does not edit protection enchantments, and it is disabled by default in its configuration. Natural health regeneration for mobs and players can be set up, and a tag blacklist lets server owners exclude certain mobs from healing. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Fabric is the only loader, with a single file for 1.20.1, 1.1-1.20.1, released 2025-01-12 under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Health in place of defense
Armor pieces add maximum health rather than reducing incoming damage.
Protection enchantments untouched
Protection enchantments keep their existing behavior, since the mod leaves them unchanged.
Mob regeneration control
Natural healing can apply to mobs and players, and a tag blacklist excludes selected mobs.
