Not Lazy Chainmail is here to remedy the problem with most mods regarding chainmail -- the crafting table! No more putting chains, chainmail sheets, chainmail pads, or other items in the shape of armor. Instead, you can manually create wire, wind it up, snip the chains, and then add each chain to the final project just like real chainmail! Alongside a revamp of how chainmail armor is created, it also adds a wide variety of other chain-adjacent tools, armor, blocks, and more!

This mod requires Curios API.
It is recommended to use Just Enough Items (JEI) alongside Not Lazy Chainmail for the best experience.

New Chainmail Armor

Chainmail is currently only made of iron in most mods. Why not expand out to other metals? Introducing Gold, Copper, Netherite, Rose Gold, and Iron Composite Chainmail Armor sets! Each set has different use cases, especially when paired with Curios.

Leathersmithing

With the introduced Leathersmithing system, Shields and Chainmail Armor can be buffed with thousands of combinations of Leather Paddings. These paddings can buff normal armor stats such as Toughness and Knockback Resistance, but others can increase Health, repair your armor in the sun, and if you're not careful, even make you float away!

Building Blocks

Let out your inner builder with more blocks based on and created with chains, including Ornate Glass, Chain Link Fences, and new Chain variants!

Tools & Weapons

There are now unique tools and weapons that can be created through making chainmail!

> Whips - Faster cooldown, less damage, unique enchantments

> Flails - Slower cooldown, more damage, unique enchantments

> Nunchucks - A high-speed close-range weapon with unique enchantments

> Lassos - Used to slow down enemies, unique enchantments

> Ropes - Creates a scalable rope to go up and down with ease

> Chain Launcher - Fling yourself high into the air!

> Chainsaw - Cleave through trees with ease!

> Chainsword - Maul through enemies with a souped-up sword!

Curios

Various wearable Curios can be created through chainmail out of the materials, including Bracelets, Necklaces, Gloves, and Belts! They each give unique effects, with some of them boosted when worn with their respective armor sets! Maybe you construct a build where you generate lightning to strike down foes and heal yourself, or perhaps turn yourself into a cactus that is powered by advancement progress... You decide!

Automation

Not even a small blurb can describe the various automation blocks and features added. Create simple or complex systems to construct chainmail, sort and store items, and even generate and process various resources!

Do you like the idea of the unique chainmail creation system, but don't want all the extra fluff and features? Check out Lazy Chainmail!
