Accessory API
by Slainlight
Accessory API is a library for Minecraft Beta b1.7.3 that gives mods a shared set of accessory slots for items worn outside the armor slots.
What it does
Accessory slots are defined for item types such as pendant, cape, shield, ring, gloves and misc, and a mod can add its own custom accessory type. Items declare their type through a getAccessoryTypes method, and a slot can be clicked with the item passed to the handling function.
The library also ships built-in accessory renderers for capes, gloves and necklaces, and a configurable renderer, used in the same way as entity renderers. Tam's Backpacks and Coolbelt require it. It is published for Fabric, Babric and Ornithe on b1.7.3 only, and the code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. Snapshot builds are published as well. Client and server both need it.
