FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverApache License 2.01.20.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

The two new sets are crafted from emerald and lapis lazuli respectively, and each provides its own protection. The emerald set is a little weaker than the Nethrite set, while the lapis lazuli set is a little weaker than iron. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and both the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.8, and the code is released under the Apache License 2.0, not open source.

  1. Emerald armor set

    A full set of emerald armor, placed between iron and Nethrite in protection.

  2. Lapis lazuli armor set

    A full set of lapis lazuli armor, slightly weaker than the iron set.

  3. Simple crafting

    Both armor sets use ordinary crafting recipes from materials players already gather.
