Ever thought iron armor is overpowered? yeah, same.

Armor Weight makes armor slow you down when equipped. It comes with a custom description displaying the weight of the items, a small display for your weight whenever it changes, and a brand new enchantment: Lightness.


Weight Values

Set Weights
Each armor set has a total weight, combining all it's pieces:

  • Leather: 8
  • Gold/Chainmail: 16
  • Diamond/Netherite: 32
  • Iron: 40

Piece Weights
Every armor piece has a fraction of the set's total weight, which is as follows for every set:

  • Helmet: 1/8
  • Chestplate: 1/2
  • Leggings: 1/4
  • Boots: 1/8

Weight Impact
Each weight point corresponds to a -0.625% speed decrease
With the maximum weight of 40, you'd be slowed down by 25%

  • Leather: 5%
  • Gold/Chainmail: 10%
  • Diamond/Netherite: 20%
  • Iron: 25%


Lightness
A new enchantment added by the datapack, it reduces the weight of any armor it's applied to by 30%.
In order to enchant a piece with it:

Throw a feather, a ghast tear, and the armor on an enchanting table.


It costs no experience to be applied, and cannot be removed with a grindstone.

This datapack is amazing. Although two things.... is it possible to edit the weight values, and also does this work on 1.17.1?

Doesn't work on 1.16.3. Shows weight, but don't slow down.

Tell me, what could be the reason that my base weight is not 0 but -24?

I'm unable to reproduce this in my testing, it works fine for me.
Were you in multiplayer?

sorry for the delay, was busy with school.

Hey. Yes, in multiplayer. In a single game everything is fine.

Gold should be the heaviest to match real life

Gold armor is already bad enough, poor gold :(
Plus, in minecraft the theme is "gold is fast but weak" like golden tools that can mine stone fast, but can't even mine iron ore. I went with that too, its armor is fast/lightweight but offers weak protection.

can be used on multiplayer?

also, you can explain the meaning of the values? I know that iron weights 40... but 40 what? whats the difference or whats the change? the limit?

(at least in the description)

also the weapon should count to the weight too

Maximum obtainable weight is 40, with iron armor (you could go higher by changing the datapack)
At maximum weight, your speed is reduced by 25%. Each weight point = -0.625% movement speed.
I'll add this to the description, thank you!

Also I considered adding weight to weapons, but my main focus was to add more variety to armor. Might do that one day.
If you could test multiplayer support, I'd appreciate it. I believe it should work fine, but you might wanna test in a separate world b4 adding to some important server.
