Quartz Armor

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

Armor Stats

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.
