Full Turtle Armor
by Jackbusters
Full Turtle Armor adds a complete turtle shell armor set to the game, with a chestplate, leggings and boots alongside the vanilla turtle helmet, each granting extra water breathing.
What it does
Each piece of the turtle shell set adds to underwater time: the helmet gives 10 extra seconds of water breathing on top of the vanilla helmet, the chestplate adds 15 seconds, and the boots add 10 seconds. Wearing the full set also grants Dolphin's Grace and Night Vision while submerged, and a 50 second water breathing effect applies as well. Partial sets still give their own bonuses, so the armor is not limited to a single helmet.
The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric and Forge Config API Port for the configuration side. Full Turtle Armor runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its files target 1.16.4 – 1.21.5 and exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.11.1 as the latest Fabric and Quilt file and 1.11 as the latest Forge and NeoForge file, all for 1.21.5. The code is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
