🛡️ Create an armour gem
We will make the Ironbark Ward: more armour, and a chance to gain Resistance when you are hit.
The file

What's new
attributes adds a real, permanent bonus, shown by the vanilla tooltip. slot: AUTO means the bonus works in the slot of the armour piece the gem is in.
attributes:
- {attribute: ARMOR, amount: '0.5 + 0.2 * level', operation: ADD_NUMBER, slot: AUTO}
LOOP activators don't run for gems. Use attributes for a permanent bonus, as here.
detailedSlots: [36, 37, 38, 39] runs the activator wherever the gem is worn. Use one number to limit it to one piece: 38 is the chestplate.
PLAYER_RECEIVE_HIT_GLOBAL runs when the wearer takes a hit.
per-hit-taken gives XP when the wearer is hit.
Armour has no sockets by default
Armour starts with 0 sockets, so players need a Socket Drill. To change that, edit config.yml:
sockets:
default-armor: 1
Test it
/eg reload
/give @s netherite_chestplate
/eg apply YourName ironbark 8
/eg apply acts on the item in your main hand. Then wear the chestplate and get hit: with /eg luck YourName on, Resistance is granted on the first hit.
