# CoreArmorX<\/p>\n

CoreArmorX is a Paper-only vanilla+ armor progression plugin for Minecraft servers. It adds a controlled armor upgrade path and lets netherite armor use vanilla visual skins while keeping netherite-level behavior.<\/p>\n

The idea is simple: armor progression should feel intentional without forcing a server to install a database, economy system, custom GUI, or resource pack.<\/p>\n

This page is a commercial-style feature overview. Exact config keys, defaults, limits, and operational details are documented at https:\/\/icewolf23x.github.io\/CoreArmorX-website\/<\/p>\n

## What CoreArmorX Does<\/p>\n

* Adds vanilla crafting-based armor upgrades.
\n* Supports visual skins for netherite armor.
\n* Keeps skinned armor behaving like netherite armor.
\n* Preserves important item data such as name, lore, enchantments, durability, repair cost, trims, flags, and compatible custom data.
\n* Lets skins be removed safely with shears.
\n* Supports permission-based progression locks.
\n* Includes admin commands for reload, version, inspect, and item repair.<\/p>\n

## How To Use<\/p>\n

Install the jar on a Paper server, start the server, and let CoreArmorX generate its default files.<\/p>\n

Players use normal crafting interactions to upgrade armor, apply netherite visual skins, and remove skins with shears. Server staff can use the built-in admin commands to reload the plugin, inspect held items, and repair CoreArmorX metadata when needed.<\/p>\n

## Armor Progression<\/p>\n

CoreArmorX can guide players through a server-controlled armor path instead of letting every tier be crafted directly.<\/p>\n

Default progression includes leather, copper, chainmail, iron, gold, diamond, netherite, and turtle helmet support.<\/p>\n

## Netherite Armor Skins<\/p>\n

Netherite armor can be visually converted into vanilla-looking armor styles such as leather, copper, chainmail, iron, gold, or diamond while still keeping the intended netherite profile.<\/p>\n

This gives servers cosmetic variety without replacing the normal Minecraft armor experience.<\/p>\n

## Current State<\/p>\n

CoreArmorX currently:<\/p>\n

* supports Paper 1.21.11 and above
\n* requires Java 21 or newer
\n* works as a standalone Paper plugin
\n* does not require Vault
\n* does not require PlaceholderAPI
\n* does not require a database
\n* does not require a resource pack<\/p>\n

## Summary<\/p>\n

CoreArmorX is built for servers that want armor progression and netherite visual customization to feel clean, vanilla-friendly, and easy to manage.<\/p>\n
