Chitin Equipment
by WT608
Chitin Equipment is a Forge mod that adds swords, tools and armor made from chitin, a material dropped by spiders.
What it does
Spiders drop chitin, and players craft it into swords, tools and armor. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. Files are published for Forge across 1.7.10, 1.12.2, 1.18.2 and 1.21, with 1.0.0 for 1.21 as the latest file, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is open.

What the author says
This mod was originally made for an idea I had wanted to implement into my personal modpack with specific mod integration, but I also wanted to create and upload a general version for anyone to play and enjoy. Special thanks to: Hummel009 for his Dirt Tools and Armor mod and opensource code
