Simply More Armor
by Scolopax
Simply More Armor brings a cobblestone and emerald armor tier into Minecraft, filling the gap between early-game iron and the diamond or netherite tiers.
What it does
The mod adds Emerald Cobblestone Gear, a set of armor and tools that sits between diamond and netherite. Players who cannot reach iron early in a survival world can use the cobblestone pieces instead, and the emerald pieces are crafted the same way as ordinary gear. Netherite can be hard to reach for players who only have diamond, so the emerald tier is meant to bridge that step. Both client and server need the mod, and it is published for Forge only, with a single build for 1.20.1 released under the MIT License, not open source.
Key features
Cobblestone tier
A cobblestone gear tier that can be crafted early, before iron is available.
Emerald tier
An emerald gear tier placed between diamond and netherite, crafted with the same recipes as standard gear.
Standard crafting
Emerald pieces follow the crafting pattern of ordinary armor and tools, so no new process needs to be learned.

How it compares
Cobblestone Armor is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved and is not open source, so its license differs from this mod's MIT License. Emerald Armor by Jimhasaburger is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same environment, released under the MIT License and open source. Emerald Gear covers Fabric and Forge for 1.19.4 – 1.20.1, but is server-side only, so players can join without installing it.
