How to Build and Modify Armor Using the Armor Forge

Setting Up the Armor Forge

While the wooden Armor Station handles basic armor crafting, advanced construction and complex gear require the metal Armor Forge. Look up the assembly instructions in your *Materials and You – Armory Addendum*, craft the Armor Forge, and place it in your workshop alongside your other crafting tables.

Assembling and Upgrading Gear

Right-click the Armor Forge to access its crafting GUI, which displays component slots and a central character model preview:

1. Advanced Crafting: Insert high-tier parts—such as those crafted from cobalt, ardite, or netherrack—into the component grid to create durable, multi-colored custom armor sets.

2. Modifying Armor: To apply adjustments to existing gear, place your assembled Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, or Boots into the primary item slot.

3. Adding Accessories: Place modifier items into the surrounding crafting slots to apply enhancements, such as adding goggles to an existing custom helmet.

4. Reviewing Changes: Verify the updated traits and modified stats in the preview menu, then pull the upgraded armor piece out of the result slot.
