Realistic Equip Delay

Adds a slowdown effect when the player changes armor pieces to enhance realism.

Why this mod ?

In vanilla Minecraft, you can swap a full set of armor quickly, mid-combat, at no cost. Players could abuse this in specific cases where armor pieces carry special attributes that grant bonuses.

This mod is inspired by the general idea behind Armor Equip Delay (a similar concept: a short penalty on armor changes), but Realistic Equip Delay is neither a fork nor a modified version of it. It’s a completely independent mod, written from scratch, with its own code, its own detection logic, and its own configuration system.

What the mod does

Whenever the player equips or unequips a piece of armor, drag-and-drop, keybind, shift-click, dispenser, command, no matter the method, they get a Slowness II effect for 1.5 seconds per armor piece.

Detection doesn’t depend on how the armor slot changed, only on whether it changed. At the same time, the mod is careful about what actually counts as a change: taking damage and losing durability does not trigger the effect, since the piece itself was never removed or replaced. Only a genuine equip, unequip, or swap for a different piece triggers it.

Configurable blacklist system for items that you do not want to have a negative effect on (Elytra by default).

Configuration

Everything is adjustable in config/realisticequipdelay-common.toml, and each of the 4 armor pieces is controlled independently. For example, you can keep the effect on boots only and disable it on the other three.

Setting	Description	Default
`effect.enabled.helmet`	Enable/disable the effect for the helmet.	`true`
`effect.enabled.chestplate`	Enable/disable the effect for the chestplate.	`true`
`effect.enabled.leggings`	Enable/disable the effect for the leggings.	`true`
`effect.enabled.boots`	Enable/disable the effect for the boots.	`true`
`effect.duration_seconds.helmet`	Duration (in seconds) of the Slowness II effect for the helmet.	`1.5`
`effect.duration_seconds.chestplate`	Duration (in seconds) of the Slowness II effect for the chestplate.	`1.5`
`effect.duration_seconds.leggings`	Duration (in seconds) of the Slowness II effect for the leggings.	`1.5`
`effect.duration_seconds.boots`	Duration (in seconds) of the Slowness II effect for the boots.	`1.5`
`blacklist.items`	Comma-separated list of item IDs excluded from the slowness effect.	`minecraft:elytra`

An in-game configuration screen is available automatically if Forge Config API Port is installed (optional, client-side). Without it, the config file above can still be edited directly, and takes effect on the next launch.

Fixing a known issue

Unlike Armor Equip Delay, this mod does not rely on NBT to detect an armor change. This fixes a major flaw in the other mod: because of this, this mod does not add a slowness effect even when the armor takes damage and changes state.

Compatibility

Minecraft 1.18.2 1.19.2 1.20.1 1.21.1 For (Neo)forge & Fabric
Optional: Curios API for (neo)forge
Optional: Trinkets for Fabric
Optional: Cloth Config API (adds an in-game configuration screen)
Works with any armor extending vanilla’s ArmorItem (modded armor included)

Notes

Standalone mod: it doesn’t touch any other mod’s files and doesn’t require any.
The Slowness level and which slots are affected are intentionally the only settings exposed, which keeps the mod predictable and easy to balance.
