Immersive Armor

Do you want armor in Minecraft to be more realistic? Then this mod is exactly what you need! It completely changes the protection mechanics: when you wear all four pieces of armor, all damage is redirected to the armor's durability instead of your health.

How the modification works

Thanks to this addition, a full set of any armor (all four elements, you can mix and match different sets) almost completely blocks damage, similar to the protection mechanics from the Armored Paws update for wolf armor in version 1.20.5. Instead of losing health, all incoming damage is distributed between the durability of all four equipment elements. This means you'll have to repair your armor more often, but you're guaranteed not to die from attacks until one of the armor pieces breaks completely. This principle also works for mobs—fully equipped zombies or skeletons can become a serious challenge.

Protection features for different armor types

• General exceptions (work for all armor types):

  • Falling from height
  • Being in lava
  • Being in fire
  • Warden's sonic attack

• Wool and cloth armor only (modified variants):

  • Does not protect against any damage types

• Leather armor only:

  • Explosions
  • Arrows
  • Tridents

• Netherite armor only:

  • Complete protection from all fire damage types

Important: Elytras are not considered an armor piece, but helmets and skulls are.
