# About Datapack
\n**Craft Me Chainmail Armor (CMCA)** allows you to craft chainmail armor from **chains**. Those are the recipes that went missing during Minecraft development after adding chains. This datapack is here to add them!<\/p>\n

Since **Minecraft 1.20.5** crafting chainmail armor with CMCA will result in getting a “_Sturdy_” variant that is a bit better than iron armor. This change is meant to recompensate the higher cost of crafting (1 chain is 1.(2) iron ingot). This means that chainmail armor crafted by the player is ranked **between iron and diamond tier**. The whole set of sturdy chainmail armor will give you **8** armor points on the HUD (the bar above hearts). For reference – iron set gives **7.5**.<\/p>\n

## Recipes
\nThis datapack adds **4** new recipes that allow you to craft the set of chainmail armor using already existing in-game chains.<\/p>\n

## Advancement
\nAfter crafting a whole set of chainmail armor, you will be rewarded with advancement and additional **20** XP.<\/p>\n

## Future datapack support
\nI plan on updating this datapack once new **full** releases of Minecraft comes out.<\/p>\n
