Warden's Armory
by Swinzyl
Warden's Armory adds a Warden-themed armor set, Sculksteel mining and a sonic boom ability for Forge players who venture into the Deep Dark.
What it does
Defeating a Warden drops Warden Hearts, which are used to craft armor with unique abilities. Sculksteel blocks generate naturally in the deepest parts of the world and yield Sculk Plates for crafting. Custom Warden horns appear on the helmet of the set.
The full armor set has high defense and toughness. Wearing all pieces enables a Sonic Boom attack, triggered by pressing V, that deals heavy damage. Forge is the only loader it targets, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21 and the 1.0.0 file for 1.21 as the latest release, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
