Simple Armor Expansion Mod / Addon

Simple Armor Expansion Mod is for those moments when you’re stuck in that awkward early-game gap and feel like your gear options are kind of boring. You’ve got leather, stone tools, and then a big jump up the ladder. This addon slides cactus gear right into that progression line, using materials you already know from normal Minecraft, so it fits naturally into survival instead of feeling like some random overpowered kit dropped from the sky. Achievements stay enabled, and as long as you install both the behavior pack and resource pack, everything works just fine in regular worlds and legit runs.



Right now, the mod focuses on cactus gear: armor and tools that sit between stone and copper in terms of power. Cactus armor protects you better than leather but doesn’t quite reach copper-level defense, which makes it a perfect mid-step for fresh worlds, challenge runs, or hardcore-style maps. The fun part is the Thorns effect. When mobs hit you, they don’t walk away for free – the armor strikes back and chips them down, so every zombie or skeleton that swings at you pays for it. It’s not god-tier, but it definitely helps in tight spots when you’re getting swarmed.

The tools lean into the same theme. Cactus tools are stronger than stone and come with an area damage effect, which is super handy when you’re clearing groups of weaker mobs or trying to control a messy fight. Instead of poking things one by one, you can hit a small cluster and clean them up faster, making early and mid-game combat a lot less tedious. Since everything is built on existing materials and the mod keeps achievements on, Simple Armor Expansion Mod feels like a clean upgrade for survival players who want just a bit more depth in their gear progression without learning a whole new tech tree.
