Craft Your First Chainmail Armor Set
Gather Your Materials
Chainmail armor is now craftable without relying on rare loot or fishing. Start by collecting the base materials needed for chains, which form the foundation of chainmail pieces.
Craft Chains
Use the mod's chain crafting recipe to produce chains in bulk. This recipe is designed to be resource-efficient compared to crafting iron armor, making chainmail a viable mid-game option. Arrange your materials in the crafting grid according to the recipe shown in your crafting menu or JEI/NEI.
Assemble Chainmail Pieces
Once you have enough chains, use them in the chainmail armor crafting recipes to create:
- Chainmail Helmet
- Chainmail Chestplate
- Chainmail Leggings
- Chainmail Boots
Each piece requires a specific arrangement of chains in the crafting grid. Check your crafting menu for the exact pattern. You can craft individual pieces as needed or make a complete set for full protection.
Equip and Use
Place your finished chainmail armor in your armor slots. Chainmail provides moderate protection and is lighter than iron armor in terms of crafting cost, making it an excellent choice for early-mid game exploration and combat.
