Hi everyone! This is my rather complicated suggestion of how chain mail could be implemented.

How it would work

It would start with the chain maker. This thing would be were you make the chain rings. What you do, is you place an ingot (Elven Steel would make Elven Mail Rings, Orc Steel would make Orc Mail Rings ect, ect) in the Chain Maker and it would yurn it into 16 chain rings (1 ingot makes 16).

If you put 8 of these in a faction crafting table in any way, you get that factions Chain Mail. With that, you can make Chain Armour using the normal armour crafting recipes.

How you would wear it?

Another thing is that next to the normal armour thing in your creative inventory, there would be another armour thing were you can put your chain. It was pretty common to wear Chain Mail under what-ever else you were wearing in the Middle Ages, so it isn't so wierd.

Who would wear it?

1. Evil Orcs and Men: The Scavenger Orc and Manish Races (Gundabad Orcs and Hillmen) would sometimes wear it, with the same consistancy as leather armour.

2. All other races would sometimes (about half the time) wear it undertheir existing armour.

How would it look like?

All the faction chain mails would be how the books descibe them (Green and White for Gondor, black for Mordor ect. ect.) and would fit neatly under existing armour.

What is good about this?

This would be good for people like High King Ithilion who would like to see more mail in the mod. With this mail would be 1. existant and 2. useful and realistic.

Another, plausable thing

Maybe in world options you could have Canon and Movie armour mode, which would change if the NPCs have only chain. I'm not sure about this, but I think it would be cool.

Thanks for watching! Constructive Critisism and Kudos gradely accepted!
