Chain Crafter

by sniffercraft34

Chain Crafter lets players craft chainmail armour from chain items, using a data pack that adds the recipes.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.20.3 – 1.21.11

What it does

The data pack adds recipes that turn chain into chainmail armour, so helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots can be made without a separate chainmail source. The recipes follow the pattern of ordinary armour, with specific shapes for each piece. Installation works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is also available as a data pack. The server must run the mod, while players may add it on their own side. Files cover 1.20.3 – 1.21.11 and are released under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Chainmail armour recipes

    Chainmail helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots can be crafted from chain items.

  2. Recipes shaped like armour

    Each chainmail piece uses a crafting pattern similar to the matching vanilla armour piece.

  3. Data pack option

    The same recipes are also published as a data pack for server platforms that load data packs.

Questions

Does Chain Crafter need to be installed on the client?

Not necessarily. The server must run it, but a player can leave it out and still join a server that has it installed.
