About This Mod

This is a client-side mod that changes the “EquipmentSlot ArmorSlot” method to allow armbands to count as armor. Without it, the method doesn’t include armbands and there won’t treat the armband slot as an armor slot.

With this mod, you can combine it with other mods that give armbands armor properties, and shield yourself without taking up inventory space or adding additional weight to your PMC.

This mod can be used by anyone that wants to include altered armbands in their mods/modpacks… just specify this mod as a dependency or, modpack authors that wish to include this mod in their modpacks are more than welcome to do so… I just ask that you credit me under either circumstance.

Derived Work:

For examples of armbands being used as armor, see the following mods:

Hi,I would love to know if we can move the holtzman shield to other body parts or make it a special item. the reason why is because currently I am using the belts mod and those go into your armband and I guess this two overlap with each one.

Hey! Would love to use this mod for Guiding Light, could you explain to me how to do that? I have the items created already from previous attempts, I just need to be shown how to make them work properly.

The link you gave to Body Blessings links to an entirely seperate mod for some reason. JSYK

Hey, if you’re willing to copy someone else’s homework, the Stonewall helmet mod works in a very similar way to how the old Holtzman shield worked. I tried editing it to make it fit in the armor slot instead of needing the helmet but I still have a lot to learn on the modding front.

Still no rush, sorry if it comes off as me trying to pressure you, just wanted you to see the stonewall mod since it’s pretty close. Hope you have a good one!

I don’t mean to press the issue (says the guy pressing the issue) but does an update to this mean the Holtzman shield is getting an update soon? I do like feeling like a demigod occasionally, and modifying armor directly has the downside of bots having the same god-armor. Either way thanks for the update!

Probably haven’t looked at this in a while, but if you get the chance, can you change category to client mods to avoid confusion for people getting this for use with Holtzman?
