themorevanillaarmor
by Aidyec
themorevanillaarmor adds extra armor sets crafted from vanilla materials, each with a bonus that applies when the full set is worn.
What it does
The mod adds armor made from materials already in the game, so the armor tiers grow without new ores or mobs. The first release includes Wooden, Cactus, Coal, Copper, Redstone, Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst and Emerald armor, and each set carries an effect that only applies when every piece is equipped. Chainmail gets a +4 toughness bonus, and Netherite gets +7 armor along with fire resistance.
Each full-set effect is granted by wearing the complete set: Redstone Armor grants Regeneration and Strength, Lapis Lazuli Armor grants Swiftness and Water Breathing, and Emerald Armor grants Resistance II with damage reduction, available once per minute with a maximum stored charge. The author lists these effects as part of the initial version, and later updates are expected to add more.
The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Forge only, across three game versions: 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.19.2 as the latest file. The author notes that the mod was created with AI assistance and recommends backing up saves before use.
