ArmorWeight
by ptayur
ArmorWeight is a Forge mod that gives armor items a weight, making the game harder for players who carry heavy gear.
What it does
Armor pieces gain weight, and a HUD bar shows the current weight level along with new tooltips on armor items. The Lightness enchantment lowers an armor piece's weight by 15% per level. Other mods that add armor items can be weighted too, once an entry for each item is added to the config file. Client and server both need the mod, and it is published for Forge with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, released under the MIT License as open source.

What the author says
A simple mod to increase the difficulty of the game. Armor now has weight. Depending on the total weight of the player, a new "Encumbrance" effect will be applied, which is equal to the slowness. Mobs can also be affected by weight (can be changed in the config).
