Spoorn Armor Attributes
by spoorn
Spoorn Armor Attributes gives armor items randomized bonus attributes such as max health, damage reduction, movement speed, knockback resistance and thorns, rolled when an item enters the inventory.
What it does
Each armor item can receive attributes when it enters a player's inventory, with a chance that is set in the configuration file. The attributes extend the vanilla armor system and mix and match across pieces, so a set can combine several bonuses. Effects such as slow, fire and poison take their duration from the rolled damage attribute.
Max health adds a bonus to the player's maximum health, and damage reduction applies a percentage to the final damage the player takes. Movement speed raises speed by a percentage of the base value, and knockback resistance changes the vanilla mechanic with a chance to avoid being knocked back. Thorns return a share of damage to attackers. Attributes stack exponentially between damage reduction pieces and linearly for movement speed. A Lapis Lazuli anvil recipe rerolls the attributes of an armor item, and its level cost can be changed in the config.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.18 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Randomized armor attributes
Armor items roll bonus attributes on entering the inventory, and the chance per attribute can be lowered for overpowered items.
Max health and damage reduction
Max health adds to the player's total health, while damage reduction cuts the final damage taken by a set percentage.
Movement speed and knockback resistance
Movement speed adds a percentage to base speed, and knockback resistance affects the chance of being knocked back by an attack.
Thorns and reroll anvil recipe
Thorns return part of the damage a player receives to the attacker, and a Lapis Lazuli anvil recipe rerolls the attributes of an armor item.
