Better Armor Craft
by SomroTeamDev
Better Armor Craft replaces the usual crafting table recipe for armor with a new machine, the Evolve Machine, for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
Better Armor Craft changes how armor is made. Instead of a standard crafting grid, armor pieces are produced in a dedicated machine, which lowers the diamond cost of each piece from 5 diamonds to 2. The server and every player need the mod installed. The only published Forge file is 0.8 for 1.20.1, marked as a beta build, and it is released under All rights reserved.
