Full Turtle Armor Set
by ugallois13
Full Turtle Armor Set adds a complete turtle-themed armor set to the game, with helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots that give water breathing and swimming speed.
What it does
Each piece of the set follows the vanilla armor pattern. Armor values for the helmet are 2 points plus 10 seconds of water breathing, while the chestplate carries 7 points and 1 toughness, and the leggings carry 6 points. Wearing the leggings and boots together grants infinite Speed 2 underwater, while the boots add 2 armor points and infinite Speed 1 in water. The helmet's water breathing stacks with the chestplate's 20 seconds of it.
The chestplate costs 9 turtle scute in its recipe, while the other pieces use the same recipes as other vanilla armor. The textures are built on the vanilla turtle look, and the 3D texture of the leggings is noted as a point of interest. The author recommends wearing a cape over the chestplate, since the cape covers part of its 3D texture.
The mod is built for Fabric API and runs on Fabric and NeoForge. Both the server and every player need it, because the set is a client and server mod. Files cover 1.21.8 only, with 1.0.1 for Fabric and 1.0.0 for NeoForge as the latest builds. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
