Gilded Armor

by MaroonShaded

Gilded Armor adds a gold-and-netherite armor set that piglins do not treat as a threat, so players can wear it in the Nether without angering them.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.16.5 – 1.21.8

What it does

Crafted at a smithing table by combining a netherite armor piece with a gold ingot, each gilded piece keeps the protection of netherite while piglins stay calm toward the wearer. Enchantments can be left out of the process, since the armor is used as is. Durability is retained well after crafting. The mod runs on both client and server, so servers and every player need it installed, and it is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.8.

Key features

  1. Piglin-safe armor

    Wearing a full gilded set keeps piglins from becoming hostile, even though the pieces match netherite stats.

  2. Smithing table recipe

    Each netherite armor piece is combined with a gold ingot at a smithing table to produce its gilded version.

  3. Durability kept

    The armor retains its durability well, so it holds up through repeated use in the Nether.

What the author says

This mod adds an armor set with the same properties as netherite that doesn't aggravate piglins. To craft it, just combine the piece of netherite armor you want with a gold ingot on a smithing table. Don't worry about your enchantments: they are retained as well as durability.
