Armored Redstone
by baguchi
Armored Redstone is a Forge and NeoForge mod in which craftable armor gives the player a redstone-powered suit with a dash and a knockback attack.
What it does
Armor pieces are craftable and only the armor set is made from the armor-related items; the suit lets the wearer press a dash key for a fast movement that also knocks back nearby enemies. The author describes the idea as a mecha-style suit inspired by armored action games, with the knockback attack named after its effect on enemies around the player.
Armor pieces can be repaired by right-clicking them with iron ingots, gold ingots or cobblestone, and the suit can be used from an illager-themed set. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds target Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, with the latest file for 1.21.1 dated 2024-09-15, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Forge and NeoForge are the only loaders covered.
