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.

The goal of this mod is to add more choice in armour and more colour and variety of armour. QUALITY over quantity however as these aren't just some retextures but these armour sets dive deep into detail.
This mod adds a lot of early game progression with the likes of wooden, clay, brick and copper armour and a new chainmail recipe. These are cheap, weak, venerable but easy to get armour to spice up the early game. Mid game is improved too with amethyst acting as a slightly better then iron, or emerald which is also between diamond and iron (I know OGs are going to get annoyed its weaker then diamond, but I made it weaker for balancing since 1.14 made emeralds easier to get). More fun armours having been added like you can now become SPRINGTRAP in minecraft by wearing the yellow rabbit armour in water, it has a cool spring trap animation and all. Or you can wear a turtle shell on your back to swim fast. Or blow yourself up in TNT armour. Late game progression has seemed to easy to reach by some Minecraft players. I've fixed that so that I doubt anyone will 100% my mod. Syntaxium is a new ore in the game. Extremally rare and drops nuggets. One bar can be used with netherite armour in a smithing table to make SYNTAXIUM ARMOUR. As well as tools to help you fight and find more syntaxium. But when you finally get the full set dont worry, I've added a whole line of syntaxium totems, each giving extra hp, requiring 2 of the previous level to be made. The final level is going to cost you hundreds of syntaxium and netherite ingots. And the max level totem can be upgraded with itself to even further increase its sheer power. A second set of syntaxium armour and sword has been added, which is very hard to get. All the syntaxium stuff has really cool abilities like when wearing a full set you can travel in and out of the void lands. And the sword slams air born targets to the ground and so on with the rest of the tools.
You may add this to your Modpack :D
