Gallant Gauntlets
Adds gauntlets: a new weapon/armor class with both attack damage and armor value. Free Minecraft Java mod for 1.21, 1.21.1.
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.
New weapon class
Faster attack speed, less damage
Dual Wielding
Gauntlets can be used in the offhand, as well as the main hand. By right clicking, players can attack with a gauntlet in their left hand, even with another weapon in their main hand.
Armor or Weapon?
Gauntlets do about half the damage of swords of the same type. Gauntlets also provide armor equivalent to a pair of boots (each).
Enchantments
Crushing (I - III)
Increases damage to all armor pieces
