Extra Armor
Extra Armor, a Forge mod for 1.20.1, adds more armor sets and tools that players can craft from vanilla blocks and a few custom ores.
What it does
The mod is built on the idea that most blocks could be turned into armor, weapons and tools, and it adds some custom ores with new armors that use them. Crafting uses an item that makes better armor from the same materials. The first release, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, was published on 2024-04-24, and later builds will add more armor within that version. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Forge only, and its code is All rights reserved; the mod is not open source.

What the author says
Here is the first version!! I will update this mod (same version) with more armor. As of right now this mods makes it so you can make more vanilla blocks into armor (no weapons or tools) but in the future I will make some custom ores for new armors. Better the item used to craft armor the better the armor.
