Emerald Armor

by justfatlard

Emerald Armor is a Fabric mod that adds armor sets crafted from emerald blocks instead of ingots, placed in the Combat creative tab.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.11 – 26.3

What it does

The armor pieces use emerald blocks in place of ingots in the standard armor crafting patterns. Each piece offers the same protection as diamond armor, a higher durability and roughly twice the enchantability, and it can be repaired with emerald blocks. Because the blocks are costly to obtain from villager trades, the armor is not a cheap shortcut to a full set.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required and must also be installed on the server. Emerald Armor is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.21.11 and 26.3, and 2.0.3 is the latest file for 26.3.

Key features

  1. Emerald armor set

    Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots made from emerald blocks, matching the diamond armor set piece by piece.

  2. Higher durability

    Each piece lasts longer than its diamond counterpart, while giving the same protection points.

  3. Repair with emerald blocks

    Damaged pieces are restored at an anvil using emerald blocks as the repair material.

  4. Combat creative tab

    The armor pieces are added to the vanilla Combat creative tab, next to the other protective gear.
