Craftable Chainmail Armor
by ReyorIII
Craftable Chainmail Armor lets players craft a chainmail armor set from chain items, so the set no longer has to be found or traded for.
What it does
Chainmail armor set can be assembled at a crafting table from chain items, giving players a route to the armor in survival without relying on villages or trading. The recipes add the chain-based pieces to the crafting system while leaving the rest of the game as it is. The mod states that it is meant to stay close to vanilla balance, avoiding extremely strong items that would spoil the pace of play. It runs on Forge for 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the server and every player need it to be installed, because the recipes are part of the shared game rules.
Key features
Craftable chainmail set
The full chainmail armor set can be crafted from chain items instead of being obtained only from loot or trades.
Recipes for chain armor
Pieces that vanilla leaves uncraftable gain a recipe, so the chain-based armor can be made in a standard crafting grid.
Vanilla-friendly balance
Stats are kept close to the vanilla values so the armor does not overpower early or mid-game progression.
