No Boots
This mod removes every type of boots from Minecraft, so you can’t craft or wear them. No armor, no enchantments, no movement buffs, you’re stuck with bare feet the whole game.
About this Mod
No Boots deletes all boots: leather, iron, gold, diamond, netherite, turtle, and even modded ones if they count as armor boots. You can’t craft them, loot them, or equip them. It makes you take more damage, lose armor points, and removes any special effects from boots like Depth Strider, Frost Walker, or Soul Speed. It’s a small change that makes the whole game harder, especially in caves and Nether exploration.
