What is even more strange is that it apparently has identical protection as wood armor. I intuitively expected cactus armor to be slightly stronger because cactus is rarer and a bit harder to obtain than wood. I guess I was wrong..
Cactus armor was added by @crazyginger72 along with admin armor
#14. I can't say if there are any specific gameplay reasons but iirc it is more durable than wood armor. I merged it because I thought, why not. It's no more ridiculous than gold or diamond

These labels should only be displayed if there is at least one such special armor present in the game. It is irritating if the GUI has labels for features which don't exist in the game.
I agree, there is still more work to do on the formspecs, that information should only be shown when those features are enabled and required mods present.
Thank you for your kind remarks and encouragement, there is still much room for improvement but I will get there eventually :)

That's an interesting suggestion, though I'm not sure how possible that is with the current api. I guess it should be otherwise. Another idea might be for it to burn and take damage in fire?
