Phoenix Armor

The set is made at a smithing table from a netherite armor piece, a phoenix upgrade template and a phoenix feather. Each phoenix piece keeps the protection, knockback resistance and attributes of the netherite piece it replaces, but starts with a far lower durability, so the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots are sturdier only after the wearer relies on the second life mechanic.

When a phoenix piece would break, it does not disappear. It turns back into a repaired netherite piece instead. Dying while wearing the full set spawns an egg at the death location, keeps the armor on the player and drops the rest of the inventory. Other players can hit the egg to move it and change the respawn location before it revives the player.

The mod is server required, with the client optional, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a data pack, for game version 26.2 only. Snapshot builds are published as well. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
