Special Armors

by Zensiert · on Modrinth

Color changing armors and more. Free Minecraft Java datapack for 1.21-pre1, 1.21-pre2, 1.21.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21 · Quilt⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.4 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Special Armors

Special Armors is a datapack that adds various Armor Customizations
currently you can craft armor that changes color once an Armor Trim is applied (Specifically, the Armor Trim Material is changed continuously)

There is an optional Ressourcepack available on the Planet Minecraft page which disables Armor equip Sounds in case the built in sound suppresion fails.

Works with:
Iron Armor
Gold Armor
Chain Armor
Diamond Armor
Netherite Armor
Leather Armor
Turtle Helmet

Works while a player is wearing it or on an Armor stand as well as Item Frames so feel free to show it off :)

You can craft each piece by combining the armor piece with Lapiz, Amethyst Shard, Redstone, Copper
Ingot, Netherquartz, Gold Ingot, Diamond and an Emerald. Positioning is irrelevant but all these pieces are needed.

Picture of the Crafting Recipe in-game as described above

Also makes Armor Trims craftable, sorround any armor trim with the block you need to duplicate the desired trim and put a diamond in the top middle spot. (Since some of the Blocks are used for multiple Trims the Diamond is placed in a diffrent spot (bottom middle; middle left/right; bottom left/right)) If you can't remember that don't worry all recipes added by the Data Pack will instantly show in your Recipe Book

I plan on adding Color changing Leather Armor as well as maybe some armors that have an effect more than Cosmetic :)
