Glass Cannon Armor
by Fan_of_moss
Glass Cannon Armor is a NeoForge equipment mod that trades survivability for damage, with a full armor set, a sword and a bleeding effect.
What it does
Wearing the complete Glass Cannon Armor set gives the player a Glass Cannon effect that raises damage dealt while lowering maximum health. The set is built around players who want to deal very large hits and accept that a few strikes can end them.
The Glass Cannon Sword hits hard, and when it strikes a target it can apply a bleeding effect that deals damage over time. The sword can be crafted by hand, and it does not need the full set to be used. Because the sword breaks after a single use, it works as a one-shot weapon rather than a reusable tool.
Both sides need the mod: the server and every player must run it. Glass Cannon Armor is released under the MIT License and is not open source; files are published for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2.
Key features
Full armor set bonus
Equipping every piece of the set applies a Glass Cannon effect that increases damage and reduces maximum health.
Glass Cannon Sword
A high-damage sword that players can craft and use for very large strikes.
Bleeding effect
Hits from the sword can cause a bleeding effect that deals damage randomly over time.
Single-use sword
The Glass Cannon Sword breaks after one use, so each strike is a one-time attack.
