Welcome to Armor Expansion! The mod that provides five new armor sets, emblazoned with a permanent potion effect when worn as a set.
What is Available?
Armor
Lapis armor: Gives you the ability to breath underwater, along with walking and breaking blocks at the same speed as you would on land.
Redstone armor: Makes you completely fireproof, useful for those trips to the nether, or maybe if you're just clumsy.
Quartz armor: Gives mining haste 3 - Cut through blocks as if they were butter.
Glowstone armor: Gives constant night vision, light level 15 everywhere you look. Can't be doing with torches? This is the suit for you.
Emerald armor: This is stronger than diamond and gives you the strength to punch 130% harder than before when a full set is worn. Sure it maybe a little overpowered, but when you're this rich who cares?
Each armour can be made using the new ingots or vanilla emeralds as per the vanilla armour recipes.
Tools
Also included in this mod is a tools expansion, using the above ingots or emeralds to make tools by the vanilla recipes. These can harvest everything that iron can, have a durability and attack between stone and iron, yet break blocks faster than iron.
They also boast an enchantability rating equal to that of gold, increasing your chance of getting multiple or high level enchantments when compared to iron tools. The benefits may be more aesthetic than practical, but at least you can mine with style...
Getting Started
To create ingots, throw redstone, lapis, quarts or glowstone dust in a furnace to produce ingots. Then use these ingots to create armor and tools as you usually would!
