Diamond Gear+
by kilkavakilka
Diamond Gear+ adds an upgraded tier of diamond armor, a Diamond Shield and a stronger Diamond Sword, all for Fabric on 1.21.8.
What it does
The mod adds an X tier set of diamond equipment: a chestplate, a sword and a shield. Each piece is meant to be stronger than its standard diamond counterpart, with the chestplate offering greater protection and durability and the sword dealing more damage. The shield is a new defensive tool that does not exist in vanilla diamond gear.
The additions reach beyond equipment. A new Castle structure generates naturally in Plains biomes, and villagers offer trades in which players exchange emeralds for X tier items. Diamond Gear+ is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. It is published for Fabric only, on 1.21.8, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is needed as a dependency.
