TConstruct Armor Extension

This mod was created because the author felt that the base armor in Tinkers' Construct 3 is severely underpowered—no offense to my beloved Melee Protection dad. Plated armor not only has lackluster stats, but its two-component design also significantly limits customizability, which is precisely one of the main reasons most players choose Tinkers' in the first place.

As such, this mod introduces armor with a more "Tinkers' style" feel, along with new armor attributes: Armor Strength, Damage Reduction, Damage Block, and Independent Resistance, allowing an armor's capabilities to be displayed across more dimensions. You'll no longer see a monotonous "2/7/5/2"—instead, you'll find a rich variety of attribute values, along with advanced armor featuring four components. Just like customizing your tools, you'll be able to refine your armor to what you consider absolute perfection.

This mod is still in the early stages of development, with only the most basic armor + new mechanics implemented so far. There are still many planned goals:

• Overwrite some armor modifiers that are too niche—honestly, the Slime Knight ones feel rather half-hearted;
• Add new defense-slot upgrades—currently, defense slots have too few acquisition methods and limited uses, making them feel nearly invisible.
