This mod removes all chestplates from Minecraft, so you can’t craft, find, or wear them. You lose the strongest armor slot in the game, making survival way more dangerous.

About this Mod

No Chestplates deletes every type of chestplate: leather, chain, iron, gold, diamond, netherite, and any modded chest armor. Crafting recipes are gone, loot can’t generate them, and mobs won’t drop them. Since chestplates provide the biggest chunk of defense, combat gets riskier, bosses hit harder, and exploration becomes way more punishing. It’s a small change that massively ramps up difficulty.
