Weight of Steel

# Weight of Steel Weight of Steel is a lightweight armor-weight mod It slows the player based on the actual weight of equipped armor. ## Features - No vanilla `Slowness` effect. - Speed reduction is applied through the player's real movement speed logic. - Armor tooltip shows the weight used by the calculation. - JSON config supports global tuning and per-item overrides. - Modded armor can be tuned by exact item id such as `modid:custom_chestplate`. ## How it works The mod calculates armor weight from the equipped pieces and converts it into a movement speed penalty. By default it uses armor stats such as armor, toughness, and knockback resistance. If an item has a manual override in the config, the custom value is used instead. ## Configuration <details> <summary>Spoiler</summary> Config file: ```text config/armorweight.json ``` Example: ```json { "showTooltip": true, "weightToSlowdown": 0.013, "maxSlowdown": 0.35, "toughnessWeight": 0.5, "knockbackWeight": 8.0, "itemOverrides": { "minecraft:netherite_chestplate": { "useCustomWeight": true, "customWeight": 25.0 }, "modid:custom_helmet": { "useCustomWeight": true, "customWeight": 7.5 } } } ``` Key fields: - `showTooltip`: show weight in the item tooltip. - `weightToSlowdown`: converts total weight into slowdown. - `maxSlowdown`: hard cap for the speed penalty. - `toughnessWeight`: extra weight taken from armor toughness. - `knockbackWeight`: extra weight taken from knockback resistance. - `itemOverrides`: per-item manual weights. </details> ## Notes - The mod is designed to work with modded armor too. - New armor entries are synced into the config after launching the game. - If the config becomes invalid, the mod recreates it and keeps a backup.
