Minecraft Mod Now Lets You Build Black Panther Armor

A new Minecraft mod will now let players become the King of Wakanda with a set of craftable vibranium necklace and Black Panther armor. The mod was created by Minecraft content creator VelVoxel Raptor, who created a video tutorial on how to craft the armor and make use of the energy absorbing powers of vibranium. Using a piece of string, an iron ingot, and a shulker shell will allow you to craft the necklace, which unlocks some nifty abilities and the suit of woven armor when equipped. That the necklace is the key is a pretty nice nod to the film and some of the comics.

From WWG/ComicBook.com:

"This is just a little thing I made in the last little while," modder VelVoxel Raptor said. "I was actually going to do this a long time ago but never actually got around to it. Then someone made a comment 'make black panther' so I thought I'd give it a try. I also threw in a few other things in there too such as throwable discs, cape shields, and more."

You won't turn into the Black Panther right away when you put on the necklace though. Instead, you'll have to make your character sprint to put the suit on or take it off. People sprint a lot in Minecraft though, so if you're not careful, you might find yourself removing the suit before you're ready to take it off. You can also use the sneak button to take the helmet off or put it back on if you'd rather show off your character's head with the rest of the suit still intact.

But then there are the powers that come with the suit, the real effects that let players truly become Black Panther in Minecraft. Just as T'Challa's suit does, this Minecraft version will store kinetic energy as players take damage. Once you've stored up enough energy, you can unleash it back towards your opponents by right-clicking which will create a huge explosion based on the amount of energy stored.

You can also power yourself up even further by eating Heart-Shaped Herbs that replace the game's beets. These enhance your normal stats and are even more effective when you turn them into a paste. Other Black Panther tools and weapons were also included in the mod that include a Vibranium Blaster, a throwable disc that'll return to you, and a Vibranium Cape that'll protect you from incoming threats.

As far as Minecraft Mods go, this isn't the most in-depth or intricate, but it is pretty thorough, which'll be a nice treat for even the most casual Black Panther fan.
