Adds the dyeing mechanic to brigandine armor. Still a work in progress. I've set up blue, green, red, black, and purple variants and recipes to make it, but that's about it. The rest should be coming quickly as time allows, however, because the groundwork is done.

You can use dyed leathers to make tailored brigandine, similar to tailored gambeson. 

How to craft:

  1. Dye leather
  2. Use dyed leather to craft a tailored leather jerkin.
  3. Craft enough metal plates and matching nails & strips (e.g. if making steel brigandine, you need steel nails & strips). Quantities should be in the handbook.
  4. Combine tailored leather jerkin with metal products to create tailored brigandine.
  5. (Optional) If crafting a brigandine helmet, you don't need to craft a jerkin before making the helmet.

The tailored brigandine has reduced penalties compared to standard brigandine, but is also takes nails and strips to hold the actual metal plates in place. To give it a more unique niche, it offers the lowest hunger increase of all metal armours, but also the worst protection (i.e. the normal protection for brigandine) and it is more expensive than standard brigandine. Let me know if you think that stats are unbalanced or if the crafting recipes are too expensive or something.

I hope to have variants for each leather color and the common metal types. The idea is that I wanted an armor that oozes with drip. That, and I was jealous of my clothier friend who kept making cool gambesons. This is mostly going up so barebones because I wanted my friends to have access to the new armour without me having to distribute it to them manually. Also, let me know if you want specific colors or something. Graphic design isn't my passion, so it might turn out bad, but I could give it a shot.

Thanks for checking this out and have a good one.

Thorin48 mod seems to work as of 1.19.3 :D

💬 Thorin48, Dec 25th 2023 at 11:21 AM

Are you updating to 1.19?

💬 TheDude, Oct 26th 2023 at 8:28 PM

Could you create a mod or add the ability to dye plate and mail armor ?

💬 TootlordAuthor, Jun 30th 2023 at 2:12 PM

Thanks for the nice comments y'all <3

Graphic design may not be your passion but this looks really good! I'm a fan of the idea of improvements to armor via putting more effort in to the fit.

I like that this also gives a reason to bother making nails and strips out of higher tier metals.

gndrneutralnoun Will do! I'll launch into green next. I'll try to make it match vanilla green unless you want a different color. 

And yeah, I've pretty much just set up variants for each colour/metal + new textures. I tried to model the helmets to look like nasal helms but it came out looking like a beehive helmet lol. I've been wanting to launch into new clothes too, but my art skills are blegh so y'all get this instead

💬 gndrneutralnoun, Jun 25th 2023 at 3:55 PM

If you're taking suggestions for colors... can you do green next? It's my favorite color.

Also are you just creating new item variants with new textures, no modeling? Because this suddenly makes me want to make my own clothes and stuff for VS... Too bad I have so many ideas and not enough focus to actually do them.

💬 TootlordAuthor, Jun 24th 2023 at 2:26 PM

Does the red variant look too much like Santa Claus or is it just me

💬 gndrneutralnoun, Jun 22nd 2023 at 10:11 PM

I think it needs to be appreciated that your username is Tootlord lol

Finally! Vintage was sure missing colored leather for armors!
