About this Mod


📖ABOUT📖
Armor Abilities adds new enchantments that perform unique abilities upon being activated by a keystroke. Unlike vanilla enchantments, active enchantments are manually activated by the player. These enchantments are associated with an armor slot, and each armor slot has its own unique keystroke and cooldown.
