Armor Underwear Mod (1.19.4, 1.18.2) – Survival Support

Simple Armor Liners

There is a cooling liner and warming liner for every piece of standard armor. Each liner adjusts your temperature by 1 like the TAN armor pieces do. Liners have no durability but armor pieces do have a limit to the number of liners you can add to them, with a maximum of 3 liners for chestplates; a fully lined set of armor can adjust your temperature by 9 points which is twice what the TAN armors do.

1. Make Some Goo

Goo is this mod’s “magic sauce”; it’s the stuff that helps your armor underwear keep you cool or warm. Use it to create your liners and other mod items. Goo uses slightly more expensive materials than the plain TAN armors but you get the added benefit of flexibility (and not dying quite so much). Note that the recipes require standard Minecraft slime balls.

You can also use Goo to create portable, single-use Goo Paks as a supplement to your lined armor for extreme environments. See JEI for recipe information.

2. Make Some Lining Material

Lining material is the equivalent of iron ingots for iron armor or leather for leather armor, except lining is used to craft armor underwear. Note that the basic liner recipes require standard Minecraft string.

3. Make Your Liners

The recipe for the a liner uses the same crafting pattern as the standard armor piece the liner is meant for.

4. Line Your Armor

Finally add your liners to your regular armor. The armor can be enchanted or damaged down to 25% max durability; the liner will still attach. Repeat the recipe below until you get the adjustment you want or you reach the maximum “thickness” of liner that your armor piece will accept.

Note that you have to wear your lined armor for it to help you. Keeping it in your inventory or hotbar does not count.

Reuse TAN Items

You cannot add liners to ToughAsNails’ armor. However, unless you have turned on the super-compatibility mode, you can use your existing TAN armor as liners for your other armor; the TAN armor pieces work just like the custom mod liners do. These recipes are provided as a migration utility if you decide to do away with the basic TAN armor completely in favor of armor underwear.

You can also use TAN materials to make lining. Use jelled slime to replace cooling goo and wool blocks to replace warming goo. If you aren’t interested in the other mod features like Goo Paks these recipes are cheaper than the goo-based versions.

Removing Liners

You can un-line your armor layer by layer with Liner Snips. The returned liners are reusable (the liners are left on the crafting grid when you remove your armor piece). If you originally lined your armor using TAN armor, you will NOT get those back; you’ll get the mod’s custom liner instead.

1. Make Some Snips

Liner Snips are a craft-only item that you use to remove a single liner from your armor. Snips have no durability and you can reuse one item indefinitely.

2. Remove Lining

To remove a liner, just place the armor piece with the snips on a crafting grid. The recipe output is the armor piece with one liner removed. For simple liners, the snipped liner is left on the crafting grid where the original armor piece was placed. For special liners, please read the section below BEFORE removing your liner.

Just as when you lined the armor piece, repeat the recipe above until you’ve removed all the liners or you have the temperature adjustment you want. To change an armor piece from warming to cooling or vice versa, snip out all the liners of the first type, then apply the liners of the other type. You can do this swapping as often as you need to.

Warm and Cold Goo Paks

Goo Paks are an optional carry item that lets you add small amounts of cooling or warming for a fixed amount of time. They’re like the hand warmers or dampened neck gaiters you might use when going hiking in real life. Right-click and hold a pak to activate it. An activated pak will adjust your temperature by 2 for about 8 minutes.

For an activated goo pak to help you, you must keep it in your hotbar or offhand. Note however, the pak’s “time-to-live” will continue to count down even if you put the pak back into your main inventory. You can have up to 5 paks count towards your temperature management at once. Once spent, a goo pak has no other purpose; you should throw it away.

Goo Paks are disabled by default; to include them you need to change the include_goopaks configuration option to true.

Special Armor Liners

If you explore far and wide for long periods of time, constantly swapping armor or adjusting armor lining as you move between biomes and dimensions can become somewhat tedious. Additionally, there are some often-encountered environment conditions where temperatures become so extreme that even a maxed-out lined armor set isn’t enough protection. Usually this is where you need to carry a set of TAN potions to prevent damage or stay put, sitting in water or next to a campfire until conditions improve. For example:

Just a bit of lava. Now imagine being in the nether or a mesa biome at midday. Full slime armor isn’t helping much (-4). Even a fully lined armor set (-9) still is dangerously hot as shown below (had to back up a bit as I started to take hyperthermia damage).

Ozzy, Ollie, and Otto

Armor Underwear includes is trio of specialty liners called “Ozzy,” “Ollie,” and “Otto” that provide automatic temperature adjustment and protection even under harsh conditions. (They’re named as such for no particular reason.) These liners are single install and while you can remove them with liner snips, you will not get back the original liner. You cannot combine special liners on the same armor piece.

These temperatures reflect the original TAN jelled slime armor but with an regular iron chestplate lined with an extra cool Ozzy liner replacing the jelled slime chestplate. The Ozzy chestplate auto-regulates the player’s temperature back into the supremely acceptable midrange. Aaaah…much better!
