📋 About This Mod
# Recipes !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/ada2a315a195275a23b9aee94a2da684ec0d573c.gif) --- ## Isn't chainmail armor more expensive than iron armor with these recipes? By default, crafting chainmail armor directly from chains costs more iron than standard iron armor. To fix this balance, download **(https://modrinth.com/datapack/craft-more-chains)**, a mod/datapack that gives you 2 chains from the chain recipe instead of 1. This makes chainmail armor cheaper than iron armor. ### **Comparison between Iron Armor and Chainmail armor with (https://modrinth.com/datapack/craft-more-chains):** | Armor Piece | Iron Armor | Chainmail Armor | |-------------|:--------------:|:----------------:| | Helmet | 5 iron ingots | 3.0 iron ingots | | Chestplate | 8 iron ingots | 4.8 iron ingots | | Leggings | 7 iron ingots | 4.2 iron ingots | | Boots | 4 iron ingots | 2.4 iron ingots | | Total | 24 iron ingots | 14.4 iron ingots | So crafting a full set of iron armor costs 24 iron ingots, while a full set of chainmail armor costs only 15 iron ingots, which is a reasonable price. --- **Check out my other mods (https://modrinth.com/user/Sumbaii999).**
