Truly Modular: Armory
Truly Modular: Armory replaces plain armor pieces with modular parts, so each suit of armor can be built from separate modules that change its protection and feel.
What it does
Armory is a modular armor mod. Its armor is assembled from more than 60 modules, which are split between base sets, and each module alters how a piece of armor protects its wearer. Crafted Chainmail, Plate Armor, default Armor and Heavy Armor all sit within this system, and Heavy Armor gives the strongest protection at the cost of swimming, which becomes harder while it is worn. Protection against projectile damage is a particular strength of several sets.
The mod needs Truly Modular: Modular Item API, Architectury API, Caelus API and Fabric API to run. Fabric API is needed on Fabric and Quilt, and the other three libraries are required on every loader. It is installed on the client and the server, and the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Create: Truly Modular requires it, and an addon focused on armor elytras works with it.
Key features
More than 60 modules
Modules are grouped into base sets, so a suit can be assembled from many different combinations of parts.
Crafted chainmail
Chainmail armor is craftable and adds a protective option between leather and the heavier armor sets.
Heavy armor for elytra
Heavy Armor gives high protection, and with an elytra it offers a flight performance that trades off against swimming speed.
Cosmetic options
Several visual choices, including banners, let players change how a finished suit looks without changing its stats.
Better Combat support
The armor works alongside the Better Combat mod, so its combat changes apply to the modular pieces.

How it compares
Epic Knights: Slavic Armory is client and server, licensed under All rights reserved, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1. Elytra Slot Compat is client and server and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it fits players who want an elytra slot rather than new armor sets. Craft chain armor is a Fabric-only mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21, licensed under All rights reserved, and it covers chainmail alone.
