Helg
by Mark_Snicket
Helg is a Fabric world generation mod that adds a new ore found around sunflowers, along with the Helgerite armor set and matching horse armor.
What it does
Helgerite is a new ore that generates near sunflowers in the world. Players smelt it into Helgerite ingots and craft them into a set of armor and a block form that sits between iron and diamond in tier. A Helg shard drops from the process, and the ingots also make Helgerite Horse Armor for mounts.
Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside Helg. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is released under the MIT License, and its source code is public, with an issue tracker for reports. Files cover 17 release versions, with 1.0.0-26.3 as the latest Fabric file for 26.3.
Key features
Helgerite ore
A new ore generates in the world near sunflowers, giving players a fresh source of material early on.
Helgerite armor set
Helgerite ingots craft a full armor set, with protection placed between iron and diamond armor.
Helgerite Horse Armor
The same ingots craft horse armor, so tamed mounts can wear the Helgerite material.
Helg shard and block
A Helg shard and a crafted block from the ingots add further items to the material chain.

Use cases

Mounted travel
Horse owners can equip Helgerite Horse Armor on their mounts once the ingots are crafted.
Who it’s for: Players who want a mid-tier armor material from a world generation ore, and server owners who want the mod on both sides of a multiplayer world.
How it compares
Emirium is a Fabric mod with the same client and server environment, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Neudrite is also Fabric and client and server, yet it targets only 26.1.2 and is not open source. Netherite Horse Armor is open source under the MIT License and adds horse armor, but it covers 1.19.4 – 1.20.2 only, so it does not overlap with Helg's current versions.

What the author says
This mod's idea came from a typo a friend made a long time ago. Back then we jokingly planned to make it a minecraft mod. Years later, I've started actually creating the mod to start learning minecraft modding.
