Golden Armor Regen

A small Forge mod that gives you Regeneration based on how many pieces of vanilla gold armor you are wearing.

The more gold armor you equip, the stronger the effect becomes.

Golden Armor Regen is available for Minecraft 1.12.2 and Minecraft 1.20.1.

How it works

Gold armor pieces	Effect
1	Regeneration I
2	Regeneration II
3	Regeneration III
4	Regeneration IV

The effect is applied automatically while the armor is equipped.

Only the regular vanilla gold armor set counts:

• Golden Helmet
• Golden Chestplate
• Golden Leggings
• Golden Boots

Armor from other mods is intentionally not included.

Features

• Passive Regeneration from wearing gold armor
• Effect strength scales with the number of equipped pieces
• Full gold set grants Regeneration IV
• No configuration or commands required
• Lightweight gameplay mechanic
• Works in singleplayer and multiplayer
• Available for both Minecraft 1.12.2 and 1.20.1

Minecraft 1.20.1 version

The modern 1.20.1 version also handles stronger external Regeneration effects more safely.

If another source gives you a stronger Regeneration effect, Golden Armor Regen will not repeatedly try to overwrite or remove it. Once the stronger effect expires, the armor bonus automatically takes over again.
