Sheep Armor
by Darkhax
Sheep Armor lets a sheep wear a small armor bonus that stays on while its wool is intact, so sheep Armor gives flock owners a modest defense boost.
What it does
Sheep wearing the bonus take less harm from wolves, stray arrows and unexpected creeper blasts, because the mod gives sheep a small armor value on top of their default three points, which matches a leather chestplate. Shearing a sheep removes the bonus until its wool regrows, so the protection depends on keeping the wool.
The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it, alongside Bookshelf, Fabric API and Prickle.
Key features
Wool-based armor bonus
A sheep keeps its extra armor only while it still has wool, so shearing it removes the bonus until the wool grows back.
Protection from wolves and arrows
The added armor softens damage from wolf attacks and stray arrows, helping sheep last longer in the field.
Defense against creeper blasts
Sheep also take less harm from unexpected creeper explosions, which adds to the default three armor points.
