Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

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.

Armorful

Armorful adds armor for various mobs naturally where vanilla does not. It adds armor to illagers during raids and patrols, and allows Drowned to spawn with armor.

It's a Fabric port of Illagers Wear Armor, just with a few slight tweaks, bug fixes and new features.

Illagers (Pillagers)

Illagers have a chance to naturally spawn with armor, and an increased chance during a raid depending on the difficulty and the wave number.

Evoker
Illusioner
Pillager
Vindicator
Vexes

Drowned

Drowned can now have a chance to naturally spawn with armor depending on the difficulty of the world.
