What's new

🛡️ Layered Armor API 1.1.1

Major Update: Dual Armor System

This update completely improves the secondary armor system.

✨ New Features

  • Secondary armor is now fully functional.
  • Secondary armor can be rendered on top of the player's main armor.
  • Main and secondary armor statistics are combined.
  • The vanilla 20 armor point limitation is bypassed for the layered armor calculation.
  • Armor Toughness from both armor sets is taken into account.
  • Damage is distributed between both armor layers:
    • 70% → Main armor
    • 30% → Secondary armor
  • Secondary armor retains its passive effects and attributes.
  • Active abilities from compatible armor mods can also function while the armor is equipped in the secondary slots.
  • Armor durability is handled independently for both layers.
  • Improved compatibility with armor from other mods.
  • Added/improved API functionality for other mods to interact with secondary armor.

⚔️ Example

If the player has:

Main armor: Netherite → 20 Armor
Secondary armor: Diamond → 20 Armor

The layered armor system calculates:

20 + 20 = 40 Armor

Incoming damage is then distributed between both armor layers using the 70/30 system.

🔧 Fixes

  • Fixed incorrect armor attribute values.
  • Fixed secondary armor incorrectly affecting vanilla armor attributes.
  • Fixed armor calculations exceeding the intended values.
  • Fixed several compatibility and rendering issues.
  • Improved stability of the secondary armor system.

📌 Compatibility

Designed for Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge.

This version is a major improvement over the initial release and is recommended for all users.
