- For Hexxit Gear Scale Armor, see Scale Armor (Hexxit Gear).
Scale armor is armor crafted with scales. Scales can be obtained by killing Armadillos, Alligators, Lizards, even though they sometimes appear in random loot chests.
They can be plated with various precious materials, e.g. diamond and gold, to increase durability. Plate them by placing the armor piece in the center of the crafting grid and fully surrounding it with your chosen material. The upgraded scale armor has the same armor contributions as their corresponding vanilla counterparts.
