We’ve actually already done this! You can find the armor package here, named Modern Armors – Downloads

Note: The armor package is heavily WIP. Updates to the armor package will be slow going as armor/clothing is much harder to do than weapons are, and we only have one team member currently working on it. The armor package currently is just the armors from 2.5-1.4 split off into its own mod. It does not require MF. It is entirely standalone.

Note 2: If you would like to help us out with armor, head over to our Discord and ask us about it in the #questions-and-answers channel.
