Lightweight Data Pack Re-tunes armor sets that are typically considered “weak” in Minecraft. Specifically, leather, gold, and chainmail to create more tactical defensive options than just prioritizing diamond or netherite.
Features:
- Set base stats for chainmail, gold, and leather armor to the same armor and durability, making them more balanced in use.
- Each of these weak armor types now has a special secondary effect: chainmail armor increases movement speed; gold armor increases attack and mining speed; leather armor increases fall protection.
