Maille is a Single Feature Mod that makes chain mail craftable and re-textures the items and armor model to look a bit nicer.
By default, chain mail takes 89% of the materials of iron armor.
Maille also re-textures the chain mail items and model to look...better.
The pictures show the default recipes. You can configure:
•The number of links received from crafting with nuggets
•The number of meshes received from crafting with links
•2x2 or 3x3 crafting of links to meshes
•Whether or not to use iron ingots for the boots.
(It didn't make sense to be able to walk on chain, Steve needs some arch support!)
Obviously these configs are obsolete in 1.12+

why are the configs "obviously obsolete" in 1.12+ ?
Could you please add a picture of what the full armour looks like on a player? That’d be pretty nice.
Haha, wow. That's a riot.
To make a full set from what I'm seeing is you'd need 22 iron ingots removing the iron ingots from the boots and pretending they are maille, which will create 198 Iron Nuggets That's 2 less than what's required for regular iron armor. If you just get 24 iron ingots you can make a full set of iron armor then why even get this terrible mod. Remove the chain part just have the nuggets themselves turn into maille. And this will become the pinnacle of mods.

Doing this for myself as much as I am doing it for you and everyone else:
8 nuggets per mesh * 22 meshes = 176 nuggets
176 nuggets / 9 nuggets per iron ingot = 19.56 ingots (19 ingots and 5 nuggets)
19.56 ingots + 2 ingots for soles = 21.56 total ingots for Maille Armor
21.56 ingots for Maille Armor / 24 ingots for vanilla Iron Armor = 0.8981 ratio of Maille ingots to vanilla ingots
So the description is wrong, but only because it would be more accurate to say Maille Armor needs 90%, not 89%, of the iron.

what if youve got constructs armory and tinkered hegemony? iron armor is disabled and you need a full smeltery for full metal armor. minecraft mods dont exist in a vacuum and theres plenty of uses for this.
I don't think Chain Mail taking up 89% of iron compared to Iron Armor makes it worth all of this crafting and work. I mean, why not just make normal Iron Armor when it has more defense and durability than Chain Mail and requires less work? I suggest that the amount of links produced from Iron Nuggets should be 6. This would make Chain Mail require less iron to craft, and it would be more practical to use during the early game.
In reply to Rufflikerex:
A chain mail set has 80% the defense points (24 vs 30), the same durability, and 133% the enchantability (12 vs 9) of an iron armor set. The proposed 4 iron nuggets -> 6 chain links recipe would result in a chain mail set costing 35% of an iron armor set. The output of chain links from iron nuggets can be modified in the config or recipe file (Maille1.12.2-2.0.jar\assets\maille\recipes\chainlinks.json) depending on the mod version.

What happened? Did the modpack get rejected? I'm just wondering because I'm planning on making one.
In reply to Shreddedzombie82474:
some weirdness happened with the mod files / adding server files. i have made some modpacks since but that particular modpack was never uploaded.
Hey fyi based off of the image in the description the default resources required don't seem to take only 63% of the resources of iron armor. It looks closer to 89% of the resource for iron armor.
In reply to crepecreek:
Historically, of course, the iron ingots in the boots recipe would be leather. Possibly that's an idea that would tie in nicely with Leather Works.
