Armored Foes for Minecraft

Review Armored Foes

Armored Foes makes Minecraft’s enemies tougher and more immersive by letting more mobs wear and show armor. Villagers, witches, and all kinds of illagers now visibly display any armor they are equipped with, just like players do.

The mod also adds natural armor spawns to certain creatures, giving them more variety and challenge. Drowned and Wither Skeletons can appear in normal armor, Piglins in gold, and Illagers will equip armor during raids. Everything is fully data driven and easy to tweak through loot tables and conditions.

• ⚔️ Visible Armor for All: Witches, villagers, and illagers now show the armor they wear.
• 🧟 Natural Armor Spawns: Drowned and Wither Skeletons can spawn with armor like zombies and skeletons.
• 🪙 Golden Piglins: Piglins, Piglin Brutes, and Zombie Piglins spawn wearing golden armor.
• 🏰 Armored Raids: All Illagers such as Vindicators, Evokers, Pillagers, and Illusioners equip armor during raids.
• 📜 Data Driven Equipment: Define natural mob equipment using loot tables with conditional rules.
• ⚙️ Fully Configurable: Easily tweak spawn chances, armor types, and conditions via data packs.

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Huge thanks to IMB11 for their Armorful mod, which inspired me to work on this project.
