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 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge
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.

This mod provides modpack makers an easy way to add specific potion effects on certain armors or armor sets. You may allow players to gain a lv3 strength effect when they are wearing a full set of diamond armors. The mod is data driven, so you just need to put valid json files at data/<namespace>/effectivearmors/armor_effects/<path>.json. If you are using KubeJS, you may also put it directly under kubejs folder, so that the file path would be like kubejs\data\kubjes\effectivearmors\armor_effects\effect_1.json

The file should be structured like this.

{
  "armor": [
    "minecraft:diamond_helmet",
    "minecraft:diamond_chestplate",
    "minecraft:diamond_leggings",
    "minecraft:diamond_boots"
  ],
  "effects": [
    { "id": "minecraft:strength", "amplifier": 2, "ambient": false, "show_particles": false, "show_icon": true }
  ],
  "match_all": true
}

You may put 1-4 items in the armor list. "match_all": true means to check if all items are equipped; you may also set it to false so that one piece of the armor set would be enough to apply the effect. You may also put multiple effect instance in the effects list and they will be applied at the same time.

It also supports tag. You may use # at the start of any armor entry string and it will be parsed as a tag ingredient. You may also use 3x ... to declare the number. So the following formats works as well.

  "armor": [
    "#effectivearmors:test_helmets",
    "minecraft:iron_chestplate",
    "minecraft:golden_leggings"
  ]
  "armor": [
    "4x #effectivearmors:golden"
  ]

From version 1.2.0, you may also include curios items in the armor list.
