Medieval Armory: Armor Classes

Become a medieval knight or ranger and take to battle! This mod adds new armor sets that  are a mix  between a vanilla and semi-realistic medieval style. All of these armor sets can be divided into three classes (light, medium, and heavy) that have different advantages and disadvantages over the other classes. Currently, there are armor sets for iron, diamond, and netherite.

I reccomend using this mod with Hot Iron Expansion , another mod of mine.  Hot Iron Expansion adds an overhauled vanilla-like smithing system that is the ideal way to experience the crafting and balancing of the armor sets in this mod. This additional mod is not required, but adds to the value of the Medieval Armory immensely.

The Armor Classes

Light Armor:   Provides a bonus to ranged damage and melee attack speed, but provides the least defense. Unlike the other classes, light armor does not inhibit the movement of the player. 

Medium Armor:   Gives a small penalty to movement speed, but has good defense. Medium armor is a good middle ground for versatility, and is the most similar to vanilla armor.

Heavy Armor: Has incredibly good defense and knockback resistance, which comes at the cost of a significant movement speed penalty and a small attack speed penalty. Heavy armor will turn you into a walking tank, but limits your ability to travel or flee from battle.
