About this Mod

Armor Options

This mod/data pack adds additional armor variants to the game. Currently these are mainly cosmetic, but future armor sets will have additional properties and functions.

Wool Armor

Crafted using blocks of wool, this armor is less durable than leather, but provides the same level of protection. The color of wool used determines the base color of the armor, which can then be dyed in the same way as leather armor.

If the data pack version is used, the included resource pack is recommended in order to see the alternate item textures.
