\n*New Armour:*<\/p>\n
Have you ever felt that the rush to obtain iron armour is both too predictable and not too worth it? That leather armour, the presumed first armour of the game, is too tedious to obtain when cows and leather are already precious in the early game? If you have, consider the below new additions as your first choice of armour instead. Gone are the days where you risk your first days of a new World to get enough iron, only to die frustratingly in a cave.<\/p>\n
– **Copper** Armour — reduces lightning damage.
\n– **Cotton** Armour
\n– **Fur** Armour
\n– **Linen** Armour
\n– **Silk** Armour
\n– **Wool** Armour
\n– **Paper** Armour<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
*Changes in Armour Mechanics:*<\/p>\n
Various changes in armour mechanics have been made, including:<\/p>\n
– **Armour Points**:\u00a0Vanilla and modded armour items now have updated armour point values. Armour is now able to fully absorb incoming damage, and each armour point absorbs more damage.
\n– **Armour Toughness**:\u00a0Metal armour now have increased armour toughness values.\u00a0
\n– **Knockback Resistance**:\u00a0Metal armour now have increased knockback resistance values.\u00a0
\n– **Protection Enchantments**:\u00a0Protection Enchantments now reduce more damage, with a full Protection IV set reducing damage by 70%. Protection and Projectile Protection are now compatible with other Protection Enchantments, to a maximum of reduction by 90%.\u00a0Blast and Fire Protections remain mutually exclusive.
\n– **Elytra**:\u00a0Elytra now provide +1 armour point, and can be enchanted with Protection Enchantments.
\n– **Thorns**:\u00a0Thorns is now an exclusive Treasure Enchantment for the Chestplate, and its thorns damage is scaled by the incoming damage.
\n– **Swift Sneak**:\u00a0Swift Sneak is now available from Librarian Villager trades.
\n– **Frost Walker**:\u00a0now extinguishes fire, cools lava, and also works when riding a vehicle.<\/p>\n
In addition, two new *Treasure* Enchantments are added:<\/p>\n
– **Impact Protection**: a Helmet enchantment that reduces damage from wall collisions & falling anvils\/stalactites.
\n– **Soaring**:\u00a0an Elytra enchantment not obtainable from Librarian Villager trading. Increases the speed of Elytra flight, scaled by level. Obtainable either from specific loot chests, or from a special crafting recipe involving the Elytra and two other ingredients. See if you can find this special recipe!
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
*Fabric Blocks & Items:*<\/p>\n
Adding more means to obtain armour in the early game, the following fabrics\u00a0are added:<\/p>\n
– **Cotton**:\u00a0farmed from seeds from wild Cotton plants found in Jungle biomes. Requires Scutcher to turn into blocks.
\n– **Fur**:\u00a0dropped by certain mobs upon death.
\n– **Linen**:\u00a0farmed from seeds from wild Flax plants found in temperate biomes. Requires Scutcher\u00a0to turn into Linen.
\n– **Silk**:\u00a0obtained by boiling\u00a0Silkworm cocoons\u00a0with a campfire-heated cauldron. Silkworm cocoons are found in mulberry trees, which can be found in the Dark Forest biome. Silk Moths hatch from the cocoons under low light levels, and can lay new eggs\/silkworms onto mulberry tree leaves.<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0
\nAs wool-like blocks, all fabrics behave almost identically to wool blocks and their carpet derivations.<\/p>\n
**Scutchers** are a custom block that are used to scutch flax stems and cotton into usable ingredients. The ingredients, in turn, can be used to craft either armour or String.<\/p>\n
*Armour Trim Expansion:*<\/p>\n
Armour Trims now have functions in addition to cosmetics. Each function may be specific to each armour slot, number of trims equipped, or amount of received damage.<\/p>\n
– **Amethyst**:\u00a0Upon receiving damage, a chime of amethyst rings out. The wearer is given a brief spurt of regeneration, alongside nearby friendly entities. Hostile mobs are *entranced*\u00a0by the chime, and will briefly stop attacking.
\n– **Copper**:\u00a0Upon being struck by lightning, damage from the lightning is reduced. The wearer becomes then\u00a0*charged*, during which the wearer receives some positive status effects based on lightning strength and number of equipped copper trims.
\n– **Diamond**:\u00a0Boosts the armour toughness of the trimmed item.
\n– **Emerald**:\u00a0Amplifies the effect of villager reputation modifiers.
\n– **Gold**:\u00a0Boosts the enchantability of the trimmed item.
\n– **Iron**:\u00a0When the trimmed item receives durability damage, there is an additional 25% chance that it will not take the damage.
\n– **Lapis**:\u00a0Boosts amount of Experience gained per Experience Orb, reduces Experience cost of Mending.

\n– **Quartz**:\u00a0While the wearer is under a *sky light level of 7 or lower*, the wearer receives a slot-specific positive status effect.
\n– **Redstone**:\u00a0Boosts duration of any applied status effect. When in contact with either *emitted or strong redstone power*, the wearer receives a slot-specific positive status effect.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
