Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued]
Armor in Minecraft usually follows a predictable path: leather, iron, diamond, netherite, done. Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] throws that progression out the window and asks a simple question. What if almost every block in the game could be worn? Built with MCreator, this add-on expands the armor roster with a long list of unusual sets, many of which you can craft within minutes of starting a new world.
What Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] Adds
The core idea behind Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] for Minecraft is variety. Instead of chasing the same four or five armor tiers, you get access to sets themed around common and rare materials alike. Most sets follow the standard vanilla crafting layout, so if you already know how to make an iron chestplate, you already know how to make almost everything here.
The material list is genuinely broad. You can craft armor from:
- Dirt, oak planks, spruce planks, acacia planks, dark oak planks, crimson planks, and warped planks
- Water buckets for Aquatic Armor and lava buckets for Lava Armor
- Stone, cobblestone, granite, and diorite
- Redstone, slimeballs, and emeralds
- Obsidian and bedrock
That last entry tends to raise eyebrows. Yes, bedrock armor exists, and the add-on also lets you craft bedrock itself. The shapeless recipe for four bedrock blocks combines one iron block, one gold block, one diamond block, one copper block (oxidized copper will not work), one amethyst block, one obsidian, one crying obsidian, and one deepslate, plus any single stone block. You will need a crafting table, but the arrangement does not matter.
Supported Versions and Loader
Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] was released as a Forge add-on, which means it slots into the classic Forge modding setup rather than Fabric or NeoForge. Because the project is no longer maintained, the safest approach is to match the add-on to the Minecraft version it was published for and avoid mixing it with newer game builds. If you are running a modern version of the game, check whether a community fork or an equivalent armor expansion has taken its place before building a modpack around it.
If you are unsure which recipe produces which piece, JEI remains the easiest way to look everything up in-game. The add-on was designed with that workflow in mind, so hovering over any armor item in the recipe viewer will show you exactly what you need.
How to Install
Getting the add-on running is straightforward, and knowing how to install it correctly saves a lot of troubleshooting later.
Manual Installation
- Install a compatible Forge version for your chosen Minecraft release.
- Place the add-on file into the mods folder inside your Minecraft directory.
- Launch the game once with Forge selected, then confirm the add-on appears in the mod list.
- Start a world and open JEI to browse the new armor recipes.
For players who would rather skip the folder digging, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in a single click, and its built-in catalog makes finding Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] alongside other armor add-ons refreshingly simple. It also keeps an eye on version compatibility, which matters a great deal for a mod that is no longer receiving updates.
Using It in Modpacks
The original creator was relaxed about modpack inclusion. You are free to bundle Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] into a pack and even edit the file for personal use, as long as you do not reupload a modified version as your own. That makes it a good fit for themed packs built around survival challenges, where cheap armor sets give early-game options before diamond enters the picture.
Final Thoughts
Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] is a snapshot of a specific era of Minecraft modding: simple, creative, and powered by MCreator. The discontinuation means no future updates, no new armor sets, and no patches for newer game versions. What remains is still worth trying. If you want to download Kori's Additional Armor [Discontinued] and experiment with bedrock plating or slime armor, it delivers exactly the kind of silly, satisfying progression that vanilla Minecraft never offered.
