Patronage
by rewqazwas
Patronage is a NeoForge armour set for Minecraft 1.21.1 that gains permanent upgrades as its wearer progresses through the game.
What it does
Rather than granting fixed stats, the armour follows the wearer's travels and fights, and its effects grow over time. Night vision, saturation, ore x-ray, attack damage and maximum health scale up, and reaching milestones adds further abilities such as creative flight.
Once a full set is worn, an hourly bonus automatically raises the level of a random enchantment on the armour. Movement speed and swim speed grow in tiers, a permanent step assist is granted, and fall damage can be negated by a dodge chance against incoming damage.
Patronage is published for NeoForge only, with a single file for 1.21.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is released under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Progression-based armour
The set improves as the wearer explores, fights and survives, instead of carrying flat statistics from the start.
Scaling movement tiers
Movement speed and swim speed rise through tiers, and a permanent step assist lets the wearer climb blocks without jumping.
Hourly enchantment upgrades
While the full set is worn, a random enchantment on the armour is raised one level every 60 minutes.
Milestone abilities
Reaching a late milestone grants creative flight, and dodge chance reduces fall damage taken.
