Scale Armor

Description
This mod allows you to create scale armor which is produced by combining an iron bar with leather. Scale armor is lighter than iron armor and offers better protection against arrows and spears. However, it is not as strong as full Steel armor.

Scale armor is produced by combining one iron bar with one piece of leather. Scale armor is good against arrows and spears whilst not being as heavy as other armor types.
