Details
A Fabric mod that adds a full set of armor crafted from smooth quartz blocks. 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
| Stat | Quartz | Diamond |

| Leggings Defense | 7 | 6 |
| Boots Defense | 4 | 3 |
| Total Defense | 24 | 20 |
| Armor Toughness | 3.0 | 2.0 |
| Base Durability | 10 | 33 |
| Enchantability | 30 | 10 |
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.
