Armour

Armour Mechanics in MineFantasy are different to Vanilla. Each armour has a more complicated calculation. and each damage type is calculated differently. meaning some armours are more effective against some damage types. Armour also has weight, effecting the wearers mobility.

Some materials effect the weight of armours (eg. mithril armour has half the weight)

Light Armour
Light armour has no mobility disadvantages, but it also has the lowest protection across the field. The bese purpose of light armour is round-the-house wear, it doesnt weigh you down, and is better than nothing.

Leather armour:

A design of leather sewn together. what else is there to say. This armour is pretty poor. smooth leather can be dyed, while rough, and stealh can not. Rough leather is slightly worse than normal

Stealth armour:

This armour is specially fit for fast-moving ninjas. wearing it gives a large movement bonus, and armour against falling damage.

Scalemail armour:

Scalemail is the best light armour, and should be able to handle simple mobs. Scalemail has low protection compared to other metal armours, but still weighs nothing.

Medium Armour
Medium armour is balanced in weight over protection. These will be useful for basic combat needs for mob hunting and light PvP. This armour is designed for your average needs.

Chainmail:

This is the lightest of the medium armours, but less protective. Chainmail has a high resistance to ranged attacks, but lower resistance anywhere else. This armour is best with basic mob hunting.

Splintmail

A more protective armour, splintmail is superior to chainmail and slightly heavier, however is average at projectile resistance. Splintmail is probably more PvP oriented than chain.

Heavy Armour
Heavy armour is the slowest, most expensive but protective armour on the market. It is greatly used for fighting tough mobs, dungeon crawling and PvP.

Heavy Chainmail

Heavy chainmail is pretty much an upgraded suit of chain. It consists of chain sheets with plating. This armour is heavy, and highly protective. it has the most projectile resistance. more than plate.

Plate Armour

This is the most protective armour. Made from plates over padded leather; plate armour has a small resistance to armour piercing attacks(like blunt weapons). This armour is the heaviest available, although sprinting in plate armour(as of alpha1.9.7) is impossible. It increases the decay of hunger.
