Vortex Cloak is Bone Armor

Vortex Cloak feels, like too many unhappy things in Hamlet, like a concept that has been developed with effort and imagination, but ultimately left unfinished and relegated to the sides as an obscure and gimmicky item. I would think that there ended up being too much of an overlap between the concepts for the Vortex Cloak and the Bone Armor, and that the team felt too obliged to distinguish between the items. This distinction is not well made, and the Ancient Herald has remained one of the worse bosses of the Don't Starve universe in terms of loot. Maybe it'd be better to just collapse the two concepts, and restore the Vortex Cloak as the simple and proper DS counterpart to the DST Bone Armor.

This mod reworks the Vortex Cloak so that it functions exactly like the Bone Armor of DST: when attacked, the cloak will absorb a whole hit, without the sanity penalty. It has a cooldown of 5 seconds, like the Bone Armor. But with a much cooler FX. It no longer serves as a backpack.
