Special Mechanics & Set Bonuses
Several armor sets provide passive abilities or status effects when equipped. These mechanics make certain sets viable even in the late game.
- Obsidian Armor (The Heavyweight): Wearing the full set provides massive knockback resistance, making it nearly impossible for mobs to push you. However, it applies a "Heaviness" effect, which causes the player to sink faster in water and take slightly increased fall damage.
- Fiery Armor (Magma): Crafted from Magma Blocks, this set grants the wearer Fire Immunity. This allows for safe traversal through lava and fire without the need for potions.
- Redstone Armor (The Generator): The Redstone Helmet acts as a mobile power source. It can power adjacent redstone components or trigger redstone-sensitive blocks simply by standing near them.
- Slime Armor (The Bouncer): This set reduces fall damage significantly and allows the player to bounce when hitting the ground, similar to the behavior of a Slime Block.
- Glowstone Armor: While equipped, the player becomes a source of light, making it easier to explore dark caves without placing torches constantly (requires dynamic lighting compatible shaders or mods for full effect in some versions).
Armor Sets & Stats
The mod adds 17 distinct armor types. Each set has unique durability and protection values tailored to the rarity of the material used.
