FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.6 – 26.3

What it does

Each piece of armor can carry the Mace Protection enchantment, which lowers damage taken from mace strikes by 4% per piece. Mace Protection II, III and IV raise that reduction to 8%, 12% and 16% per armor piece. The enchantments can go on helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots, and they are compatible with vanilla protection enchantments. Only the server needs the mod, and players may add it without any penalty. The mod requires 5555ff-lib and is open source under the MIT License, published for 26.3 among 11 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.3.

Key features

Four enchantment levels
Mace Protection and its II, III and IV tiers reduce mace damage by 4%, 8%, 12% and 16% per armor piece.
Any armor slot
The enchantment can be placed on helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots, so the reduction stacks across worn pieces.
Ominous vault chance
An 8% chance to generate an ominous vault is added alongside the enchantment.
