Emmys Armor and Tools
by codingcats
Emmys Armor and Tools adds emerald and obsidian armor and tool sets for NeoForge 1.21.1, with trimmable armor styles.
What it does
The mod adds tools and armor made from emerald and from obsidian. Emerald pieces are bulkier, while obsidian pieces are built for a glass cannon style of play. Both sets are designed around magical properties, with higher enchantability than the vanilla materials they stand beside.
The armor takes trims, so players can pick a color style for each set. Equipment is released as a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 only, under All rights reserved and not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Source code and an issue tracker are public, and the author asks for bug reports and translations.
Recipes for the new items are not listed in the mod itself. The author suggests JEI or a similar recipe viewer to look them up in game, and points to a crafting guide for players who want a printed reference.
Key features

Armor trims

Balance-ready stats
