Armor Unlimited
by forfdev
Armor Unlimited removes the vanilla cap on armor calculation, so armor values can rise above 20 on Forge servers.
What it does
The mixin-based Forge mod drops the built-in formula limits that Minecraft applies to armor, and a configuration file sets how far the effective armor value can go beyond the normal ceiling. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Forge is the only loader, and files cover 1.20 – 1.20.6 with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest release, released under the MIT License and not open source.
Key features
Armor above vanilla limits
Armor values are no longer held to the standard cap, so effective armor can exceed 20 under the configured rules.
Configurable effect
The configuration decides how effective armor is calculated once the vanilla limits are removed.
Mixin-based changes
The armor calculation is altered through mixins, which leaves the rest of the game's combat code untouched.
Compatibility
