Adamant equipment

Main article: Equipment

Adamant equipment replaces netherite. It is diamond equipment upgraded with adamant alloy; its armor carries Doom, its weapons inflict Weakness, and its tools smelt what they mine.

Obtaining

Adamant alloy is crafted from four adamant scrap, four gold ingots and a divine fragment. Diamond equipment is upgraded at a smithing table (template for the dolabra, mattock and claymore). It is repaired with blocks of diamond or adamant scrap.

In the video the developer says adamant "requires diamond blocks, gold blocks, or adamant scrap to repair. That means even in late game, you'll need to go mining for materials."Klei Wright, "Minecraft punishes casual players. I made a datapack to fix it." (YouTube)

"except for adamant, which requires diamond blocks, gold blocks, or adamant scrap to repair. That means even in late game, you'll need to go mining for materials." In the current code only the adamant leggings from the matcha:equipment/adamant/leggings loot table accept gold blocks; smithed adamant gear does not.

Characteristics

• Tools (and the axe) have the smelting intrinsic, Efficiency and Unbreaking II.
• Sword, axe, spear and claymore inflict Weakness II for 8–12 seconds, which feeds Doom.
• Armor has Doom 3, Protection I and Unbreaking II; the full set adds the Doom and health set bonus.

The 1.12.2 notes say the Doom rework "fits Adamant's apocryphal title much more, and ties in with its hell-based theming".

Values are the item's real attributes; where the hand-written tooltip differs, the item page says so.

History

0.4-alpha	Added item textures for adamant armor. Added the adamant spear texture.
1.03	The vanilla netherite recipes were blocked.
1.10	The set bonus was nerfed slightly.
1.12	Fixed severe multiplayer lag caused by adamant armor.
1.12.1-alpha	Reworked: each piece gives Health Boost hearts instead of soul hearts, and the set bonus gives 2 soul hearts. Durability lowered from 1500 to 1000. Divinity was removed from adamant tools and replaced with Efficiency. Divinity was removed from adamant weapons and replaced with Sharpness. Attack speed raised from 0.5 to 1.0. The sword's and dolabra's real attack speed and damage now match the tooltip.
1.12.2	The armor intrinsic was reworked into Doom. Adamant tools now smelt the blocks they mine. Adamant weapons now inflict Weakness. Dolabras were redefined as axe (tool) and pickaxe hybrids rather than weapons: damage goes down and weapon intrinsics are removed over time.
