Gilded Armor CJ Edition Mod (1.21.7, 1.21.1) introduces a flexible system that lets you transform any armor piece including modded ones into Piglin-friendly gilded armor. Using a special item called the Golden Core, players can apply it to their favorite gear and avoid unwanted aggression from Piglins in the Nether, all without switching to full gold sets.
Developed by Craftjakob, this mod is especially helpful for those who prefer wearing custom or enchanted armor but still want to explore Piglin territory without constantly being attacked. It preserves your armor’s attributes and appearance while granting the same passive effect that gold armor typically provides.

Features:
- Adds a Golden Core item that can gild any armor piece
- Works on both vanilla and modded armor
- Once gilded, the armor prevents Piglins from becoming hostile
- No need to wear full gold sets only the gilded piece matters
- Armor appearance and stats remain unchanged
- Compatible with Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt
- Useful for Nether explorers, PvE survivalists, and custom armor users
- Supports most armor types including chestplates, helmets, leggings, and boots

Why Use Gilded Armor CJ Edition?
In vanilla Minecraft, players must wear gold armor to avoid being attacked by Piglins but gold gear is weak and doesn’t always fit custom loadouts. Gilded Armor CJ Edition Mod solves that by letting you apply Piglin neutrality to any armor using a simple item. This opens up greater flexibility for builds, PvP kits, or modded gameplay where you want protection and Piglin safety at the same time. Whether you’re running nether-themed modpacks or just want to keep your custom armor, this mod makes it easy to survive the Nether in style.
