What it does

Chainmail armor is normally found through scavenging and looting. This mod adds crafting recipes for a full set of chainmail helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots, so a player can make the pieces at a crafting table with common materials. Client and server both need the mod, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.8. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Chainmail crafting recipes

    New recipes make each chainmail armor piece craftable from simple materials at a crafting table.

  2. Full armor set

    Recipes cover the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots, so a complete set can be built.

  3. Less reliance on looting

    Players can obtain chainmail armor by crafting it rather than waiting to find it while scavenging.
