MithrilChains

Full overview

Make chainmail armour craftable again.

MithrilChains restores a direct survival crafting route for chainmail armour. It is a deliberately small plugin for servers that like chainmail as a progression tier but do not want it restricted to rare mob drops or trading.

The recipe-focused design means players understand the feature immediately and administrators do not need to maintain a larger custom-item system.

How it works

A simple recipe addition with clear survival value

The plugin registers chainmail recipes using the intended survival materials. Players craft the armour through an ordinary crafting table and receive standard chainmail equipment.

Because the output remains familiar vanilla gear, the resource can slot into most survival economies without introducing new combat mechanics.

• Makes chainmail a reliable progression option
• Uses familiar crafting-table interaction
• Minimal configuration and overhead
• Does not replace vanilla armour behaviour

Administration

Configuration and live-server use

The main balancing decision is the recipe cost. Test the value against iron equipment, villager access and any custom armour systems before publishing it to players.
