# ![chestplate icon](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/0014015a85949b4c7ada62af2da9b947a968bbf0.png) – An Overhaul to Weaker Armor – ![chestplate icon](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/0014015a85949b4c7ada62af2da9b947a968bbf0.png)<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Now chainmail, gold, and leather armor all have the same armor points and durability. The main difference between the armors is the bonus stats. <\/p>\n

## ![Chainmail](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/dbc615a51786b37e80e463d07539113d0e00b682.png) Chainmail armor increases your movement speed. ![Chainmail](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/dbc615a51786b37e80e463d07539113d0e00b682.png)<\/p>\n

## ![chestplate icon](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/0014015a85949b4c7ada62af2da9b947a968bbf0.png) Gold armor increases your attack and mining speed. ![chestplate icon](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/0014015a85949b4c7ada62af2da9b947a968bbf0.png)<\/p>\n

## ![Leather](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/2833894663f2a4a37a52e9516169306b277220a2.png) Leather increases the blocks you fall before you take fall damage. ![Leather](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/2833894663f2a4a37a52e9516169306b277220a2.png)<\/p>\n

## On top of all of that, chainmail also has a recipe.<\/p>\n

(This will be changed in a future version, but currently the only way to get the buffs on armor is by crafting it. Armor found in chests and from villagers will be unchanged.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
