DEPRECATION WARNING

This mod is deprecated, in favour of the more general Customizable Plate Armor mod here. The scope of this mod was expanding beyond the original idea, and the first name and mod ID no longer matched. I'll leave this up for now and not delete it in case anyone was already utilizing this, but this mod will not be updated. Please use the more efficient linked mod instead which has fully replaced it.

Legacy Description

Requires Combat Overhaul

Adds new variants of all non-steel plate armors which have the same defensive protections as full steel plate.

This is to open up more cosmetic options which are equally as viable as plate, allowing for more cosmetic variety on multiplayer servers.

To create these, use Steel armor as a base, and add the plates of the material you want to use the appearance of. Recipes can be found in the handbook.

This uses the Combat Overhaul versions of the plate armor sets, and will not work for vanilla.

NOTE: This mod is still something of a work-in-progress, and may have changes you consider breaking. Specifically:

1. Later versions of the mod may update some of the armors to retain more of their distinctive looks. In particular, the Black Bronze and Meteoric Iron versions look too plain, and are likely candidates for further visual changes.
2. Currently these are created as brand-new items which are variants from one new JSON file. As an optimization effort, this may be changed to be patches on the existing Steel plate item instead. This would be a breaking change, which would remove all existing instances of these reinforced plates from players' games.
