Sick of not being able to craft your own mount armor? Tired of finding loads of mount armor even in dimensions said mounts don't even live in? Have a massive collection of miscellaneous animal scales for whatever reason? Then it may be time to resort to... SCUTE FORCE!
This pack makes horse armor craftable with armadillo scutes, nautilus armor craftable with turtle scutes, and replaces all naturally occurring mount armor in loot chests with portions of their matching material (4-8 copper ingots for copper armor, 1-4 iron ingots for iron, 1-2 gold ingots for gold and 1 diamond for diamond). You're definitely going to craft it back into mount armor though... right?
