Mobs spawn with armor trims

[quiet wyvern]

Hi! Just a mod request for fabric 1.20.1 where mobs that can spawn with armor can have that trimmed (50/50 with or without) and can spawn with any ore or trim combination, but only the armor pieces they can spawn with, so no skeletons with netherite or piglins in iron armor haha. cheers!

I'll take a look at this, shouldn't be too hard and seems like a nice idea

[quiet wyvern]

Thanks!

I like this idea, one of your better ones I think @quiet wyvern. I'll pay attention to see if it happens.

[quiet wyvern]

It'll make every drop just that much uniquer, I was even thinking requesting a random names mod where it could be "jack's iron chestplate" etc

but nah

not vanilla enough

for my taste

[uneven sigil]

I can see it being enjoyable though. Or maybe something a little more esoteric/ancient feeling. Something like "Archen Chest" for a rare enchanted chestplate.

[quiet wyvern]

yeah, like you could have it inspired by minecraft dungeons, so specific ones have specific attributes, it'd make even leather armor useful if it could randomly increase your ranged attack damage or something

a good example would be the archers armor, it makes you 15% faster, 15% extra ranged damage and 5 more arrows a bundle which could translate to some type of infinity buff https://img.gamewith.net/article/thumbnail/rectangle/18655.png

with like a piglin gold buckle trim and some iron one on the helmet

getting ahead of myself though

@uneven sigil made a new request channel to remove armor trims from spawning in chests so they can only be obtained from mob drops with this mod

@quiet wyvern Hey there, just finished making the mod. You can download it here: https://github.com/Imajo24I/Mob-Armor-Trims-1.20.1/releases/download/v.0.1.1-1.20.1/mob_armor_trims-0.1.1-1.20.1.jar

Mobs will have a 50/50 chance of their armor, if the spawn with one, also having an armor trim. This armor trim will be completly random.

When testing this mod out, please note, mobs will only spawn with armor in hard difficulty or medium if local difficulty is high enough

[uneven sigil]

Awesome, I'm gonna try this out too if you don't mind. Makes the game feel more realistic, less generic.

[primal forge]

Feel free to try it out. Planning on releasing it on modrinth/curseforge aswell, as I find the mod a really good idea.

[primal forge]

Gonna create a config screen with Modmenu integration now, to be able to configure the chances of an armor trim

[quiet wyvern]

yo cheers homie appreciate you

[primal forge]

your welcome!

[primal forge]

Implemented Mod Menu support with config screen now. This also requires Cloth Config API. Download is now avaible on
Modrinth

how would this interact with mods such as improved mobs which lets mobs spawn with armor and also modded armor? will it work @primal forge

[primal forge]

Improved Mobs has its own implementation of giving the mobs armor, thus my mod won't work on the armor given by these mods. Compatibility should be possible to implement tho
I'll look later today into adding compatibility with improved mobs

[primal forge]

Just finished adding compatibility. Mobs spawned by Improved Mobs will now also have a chance of wearing armor trims on their armor pieces.

[outer ruin]

this works with mobs that spawn with modded armor correct?

i wonder if the mod bettertrims will also give them effects depending on their trim (bettertrims is a mod that makes some trim materials give you effects such as diamond giving you more protection per trimmed piece, iron making you mine faster/attack faster etc.)

[quiet wyvern]

would be intriguing

a 1/10000 chance of a full diamond armor diamond trim enchanted protection zombie lmao

[primal forge]

Depends. For Mobs spawned by Improved Mobs it should work, as I added explicit support. If other mods spawn mobs with armor and have their own implementation of giving them armor, either me or the mod maintainer would need to add support, otherwise the mobs wouldn't get trims on their armor

[outer ruin]

i also have this which lets you have multiple different trims on armor https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/stacked-armor-trims

will this affect your mod?

[primal forge]

Currently it won't affect mobs spawning with trims, but I can probably add compatibility on my side so mobs have a chance of spawning with multiple armor trims

I'll look later today into it

[primal forge]

@outer ruin Added compatibility! Mobs will now have a 25% chance of having an additional trim on their armor piece when the Stacked Armor Trims mod is enabled. You can further configure this in the config.
You can find the 1.20.1 version here

[outer ruin]

can they spawn with modded material trims? specifically materials from mythic metals, betterend and betternether
