About

Description

It's a glass-cannon armor tier: the highest protection and toughness in the game, but with durability so low it breaks quickly, trading longevity for raw defense.

Features

  • Helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots crafted from smooth quartz blocks using standard vanilla armor crafting patterns
  • Highest defense values in the game: more protection per piece than diamond armor
  • Higher armor toughness than diamond
  • Triple the enchantability of diamond, making these pieces easy to enchant well
  • Very low base durability: the tradeoff for the stat boost
  • Repairable with smooth quartz blocks
  • Accepts armor trims
  • Added to the vanilla Combat creative tab

Pandorical

Quartz Armor runs server-side, and Pandorical is required: the server will not load this mod without it. It syncs the armor's textures and models through Pandorical's content sync.

Clients are the optional half. A player on a Pandorical client sees quartz armor. The worn armor's look is the mod's own quartz equipment asset, which reaches clients only through the content sync, so a vanilla client does not have it and cannot draw the worn armor as quartz (it is not mapped to diamond's). The stats are identical either way.

A Fabric mod that adds a full set of armor crafted from smooth quartz blocks. It's a cheap, early armor tier that sits between iron and diamond: easy to get from the Nether, the easiest armor in the game to enchant well, and fragile enough that it wears out fast.

Features

  • Helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots crafted from smooth quartz blocks using standard vanilla armor crafting patterns
  • More protection than iron, less than diamond
  • A little armor toughness, where iron has none
  • Triple the enchantability of diamond, the highest of any armor, making these pieces easy to enchant well
  • Very low base durability: the price of a set this cheap
  • Repairable with smooth quartz blocks
  • Accepts armor trims, shown on the icon as well as when worn
  • Added to the vanilla Combat creative tab

Pandorical

Quartz Armor goes on the server only, and Pandorical is required there and on every player's client: the armor pieces are new items, and a client without Pandorical has no entry for them.
