Monk's Gauntlet:
If the wearer has no armour equipped their fists do damage equal to their current health (not counting absorption).
Optionally could have something such as "gives the wearer protection ___ on 10% health" to give them a chance to regain their damage and health.

It would pair well with the heart of the golem item, and allow for an actual monk class type gameplay in Minecraft. I believe it'd be an easy way to add a different way to tackle combat in Minecraft as well as making a player feel smart for discovering it.

It'll just become something like 'The Golem's Fists' or something, wouldn't it. Idk. Maybe that name feels a little heavy-handed.

Looks like an interesting idea. I can't say when I will come back to actively developing the mod, hence "I dunno perhaps" label, but I will likely try to implement it in some form whenever I do.

Thanks, I'm glad you like my idea, and thanks for making the mod!
