PatatesPVP's Craftable Chainmail Armor
by PatatesPVP2
PatatesPVP's Craftable Chainmail Armor lets players craft chainmail helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots from chains at a crafting table.
What it does
The mod adds recipes that turn ordinary chains into chainmail armor pieces, so the armor can be made in survival without finding it elsewhere. Crafting uses the standard chain item at a crafting table. Because chainmail gives less protection than iron or diamond, the mod leaves the choice of whether to use it to each player. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. The files are published for NeoForge across 26.1 – 26.1.2, released under the MIT License.
The recipes are shipped as a data pack, so server owners can adjust them without a Java build. Files exist for game versions 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file.
