Horse armor craft
Horse armor craft makes the horse armor types craftable in vanilla Minecraft, using recipes built from ordinary materials.
What it does
Horse armor is normally obtained only from chests, so this mod lets players craft each armor type at a crafting table. Recipes follow the same simple pattern as leather horse armor, with other materials used in place of leather. The mod stays close to the vanilla feel and adds no new items beyond the crafting recipes.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It needs no other mods, and its files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 16 release versions. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
