FabricServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21.4

What it does

Chainmail armor pieces can be equipped on top of other armor, and each piece adds its own armor points to the total. Each chainmail piece is made by pairing the matching armor piece with one iron ingot at a smithing table. Armor trims are kept in step with the overlay, so a trim that is removed or replaced also removes or replaces the bonus. Chainmailed is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.4, with version 1.0 as the latest file. It is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. It is required on the server and optional for players.
