If you like the look of Blackguard armor but were put off by the asymmetry and lack of plates on the right side then this is it for you!

I've also added some additional plates on the knees and modified various places on the armor, you can see for yourself! I've included some more screenshots just in case and yeah I got rid of some of the back neck cover as I was bothered by player's head clipping through it when looking up. I feel the new chainmail neck cover and fully protective helmet that covers the back of the head with a ridge looks much better than default Blackguard set, gives it a more knigthly vibe which I love.

The armor set's stats are the same as on iron plate armor, only the hunger rate is the same as on the regular Blackguard set because having high hunger rate as a Blackguard is punishment enough.

The mod adds a new craftable armor set that requires the basic repaired/pristine blackguard armor set in its crafting recipe. I've also added an unique version of clothing to wear under the armor (and/or out of armor), it's a recolored and customized villager clothing.. the ones I found the most fitting for my ancient eldritch immortal seraph character's unit of Derathian Blackguard who existed only in one very small part of the world, deep underground somewhere in a small town. The place was ruled by my seraph character, a polymath ancient immortal warrior with eldritch abilities who was a seraph long before Jonas Falx discovered how to make seraphs.

 

DISCLAIMER; This isn't Combat Overhaul compatible as I haven't played it nor have I interest in trying it out until it supports immersive first-person mode, perhaps then I'll give it a shot.

Also I find modding quite stressful and strenuous at times as I usually suck at figuring stuff out and I get easiliy angry when things don't work out in a mod and/or have to figure out what lines of code some mod adds to things. This the main reasons I'm leery of making it CO compatible as I don't wanna feel like shoving keyboard through a wall (I have serious mental health issues since childhood). Thanks for understanding

 

Version changes:

1.2.2: Added a craftable linen coif to wear underneath the helmet

 

Anyhow credit and thanks to the devs for the original Blackguard armor and the new villager clothing items, without them I wouldn't have been able to make this mod like it is now, so much appriecated. Also thanks to Dana, Ifoz and others who's names I can't recall at the moment for helping me with modding and inspiring me!

It isn't CO compatible as I haven't played it nor have I interest in trying it out until it supports immersive first-person mode.

 

The stats my armor has are taken directly from base game iron full plate armor with the only difference being that you don't get as hungry wearing it, the hunger rate is the same as on the default Blackguard armor

Assuming this is CO, Armour has 2200 durability on all pieces and 17 on each parameter. Hoping someone will patch otherwise good mod 👍

It still works in 1.20.6

💬 Ixon, Mar 22nd at 9:11 PM

will this mod be updated to 1.20.6

💬 Droggarth , Feb 25th at 12:05 PM

Sorry, no Combat Overhaul compatibility, at least not yet. I'm not familiar with CO as I haven't used it myself

💬 Lucio, Feb 23rd at 6:15 PM
