I want chainmail armor to be cheaper than iron armor.
Download Craft More Chains, a mod/datapack that gives you 2 chains from the chain recipe instead of 1. This makes chainmail armor cheaper than iron armor.
Comparison between Iron Armor and Chainmail armor with Craft More Chains:
| Armor Piece | Iron Armor | Chainmail Armor |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | 5 iron ingots | 3.0 iron ingots |
| Chestplate | 8 iron ingots | 4.8 iron ingots |
| Leggings | 7 iron ingots | 4.2 iron ingots |
| Boots | 4 iron ingots | 2.4 iron ingots |
| Total | 24 iron ingots | 14.4 iron ingots |
So crafting a full set of iron armor costs 24 iron ingots, while a full set of chainmail armor costs only 15 iron ingots, which is a fair price.
