1. Introduction
Craft Me Chainmail Armor (CMCA) is a datapack that allows you to craft chainmail armor from chains. Something that should be added to the game when chains were introduced, but wasn’t. This small datapack has been made to fix it!
Since Minecraft 1.20.5 crafting chainmail armor with CMCA will result in getting “Sturdy” variant that is a bit better than iron armor. This change is meant to recompensate higher cost of crafting (1 chain is 1.(2) iron ingot). This means that chainmail armor crafted by the player is ranked between iron and diamond tier. Whole set of sturdy chainmail armor will give you 8 armor points on the HUD (the bar above hearts). For reference – iron set gives 7.5.
2. Compatibility
At the moment datapack is compatible with Vanilla Minecraft on versions from 1.20 to 1.21. Please note that versions of this datapack for MC 1.20.5 and above are different than older ones. Some sections of this documentation refer only to those new versions. If you want me to add support for newer game versions please inform me on the Support Discord.
3. Installation
To install this datapack please follow the standard Datapacks installation guide.

CMCA add 4 new recipes. One for each armor piece made with chains. Using all 4 of them will allow you to get advancement [Cover me with chains]. Since 1.20.5 making chainmail armor results in a new variant: “Sturdy Chainmail Armor“.
