Wahsso's Rucks
by Wahsso
Wahsso's Rucks adds chestplates for Fabric on 26.2 that trade mobility and mining strength for heavier protection, with Diamond and Netherite tiers.
What it does
Two training vest chestplates sit alongside the regular diamond and netherite armor. Each ruck chestplate gives a bonus to protection in exchange for Slowness and Mining Fatigue debuffs while it is worn. The debuffs stack with the tier of the ruck being worn, so higher tiers carry heavier penalties and heavier payouts.
Mob kills and ore veins pay out more while a ruck is equipped. Fortune and Looting bonuses scale between 2x and 4x, and XP earned from kills increases with the looting level. Crafting a ruck uses a heavy core in place of the diamond center of a regular diamond chestplate, and a netherite ruck is made by applying a Netherite Upgrade Template to a Netherite Ingot at a smithing table.
Installation needs Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Minecraft 26.2. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Wahsso's Rucks is published for Fabric only, for 26.2, under the MIT License, and is not open source.
Key features
Diamond and Netherite rucks
Two chestplates, one per tier, each trading mobility and mining strength for added protection.
Stacking debuffs
Slowness and Mining Fatigue from the worn ruck combine with the tier's own penalty, so the cost grows with the tier.
Fortune and Looting bonuses
Ore veins and mob kills pay out 2x to 4x Fortune and Looting bonuses, with XP rising as looting increases.
Crafting and upgrading
The diamond ruck uses a heavy core in its crafting recipe, and the netherite ruck is made through the smithing table.

How it compares
Fortune on Netherite and Better Copper Armor (fortune) are both Fabric mods for 26.1.2, released under the MIT License, and both run on client and server, so they cover a different version. Emerald Enhancements is for 26.2 – 26.3 and is licensed as All rights reserved, while Best Armor is open source under the MIT License for 26.1.2 – 26.3 and runs client-side only, so it needs no server install.
