Immersive Armor
A simple quality of life mod where wearing all four armor pieces negates damage by redirecting it to the armor.
About this Mod
Wish your Minecraft armor could be a bit more realistic? Now it can! This simple quality of life mod makes it so that wearing all four armor pieces negates all damage by redirecting it to the armor.
WHAT DOES THE MOD DO
This mod makes it that wearing a full set of armor (all four pieces, you can mix and match) blocks most damage similar to the 1.20.5 Armored Paws update Wolf Armor mechanic. While you will no longer take damage to your health, incoming damage will be redirected to all four pieces durability of the worn armor meaning you will need to repair more often but it does guarantee preventing death from attacks unless one of your armor piece break. This also applies to mobs, so finding a fully armored zombie or skeleton may take a while to defeat them.
