E.g.

Basic structure of the JSON file

{
  "name": "rubber",
  "toughness": 10.0,
  "knockback_resistance": 30.0,
  "enchantability": 10,
  "protection_amount": 20,
  "equip_sound": "minecraft:item.armor.equip_chain",
  "repair_material": "minecraft:clay_ball",
  "durability": {
    "feet": 3000
  },
  "texture1": "examplepack:textures/models/armor/rubber_layer_1.png",
  "texture2": "examplepack:textures/models/armor/rubber_layer_2.png"
}

Defines how many hits (without Unbreaking) the item can take before breaking, based on the slot the armor is equipped into.
