About this Mod
Experienced Equipment
A mod to lock armor behind a level requirement.
This mod was a commission by JubbyDubby. <3
What does this mod do exactly?
This mod adds a data driven way to prevent players from equipping armor if they don't have the required level amount.
By default, the mod adds these level requirements:
- Chainmail & Gold - Level 5
- Iron - Level 15
- Diamond - Level 30
- Netherite - Level 45
How can I customize it?
Since the mod depends on Fzzy config. You can just open the config menu and change all the values you want.
The mod has 3 config options:
- Equipment Levels - This is a big list of item to level mappings
- Enable tooltip
- Tooltip color
Updates? Ports to X version or X loader?
No. I won't do much more than bug fixes for this mod.
But if you really like this mod and want it ported. Here is my ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/theendercore/commissions

Server lagging with Experienced Equipment – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Experienced Equipment consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
