What it does

The mod is a datapack that attaches special effects to armor trims, so the material used in a trim sets the bonus. Effects listed by the author include luck, block interaction range, armor and armor toughness, a level of hero of the village, mining speed, attack damage and attack speed, extra experience orbs, and reduced time spent burning. The values are set in the datapack files rather than in a config screen.

Server owners install it, and players can join with or without it. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the datapack is also published for servers. Files cover 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 across eight release versions, the newest being 1.0.6 for 1.21.11. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Armor and luck bonuses
Armor, armor toughness and luck values can rise for the wearer, with block interaction range extended as well.
