Arlecchino: Customize armor/weapon's colours!
by Vivideru
Arlecchino lets players permanently recolor armor, weapons and tools at a dedicated workbench, so gear can carry a personal look.
What it does
A player places a piece of equipment and a Chroma item inside the Arlecchino Workbench, then opens the color editor. The color is selected and adjusted through the settings, and the changes are applied once the result looks right. Finalizing the customization creates the modified item, and several recoloring passes can be made on the same piece for more refined designs.
Recolored items keep their new appearance wherever they are used, so a player can build a consistent visual identity across an adventure. The mod changes appearance only and leaves the original functionality of the equipment as it is, which keeps the gameplay balance unchanged. Arlecchino is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Permanent recoloring
Armor, weapons and tools can be recolored in a way that stays with the item after it is finalized.
Workbench color editor
The Arlecchino Workbench opens a color editor where a chosen color can be adjusted before it is applied.
Repeated passes
The same piece of equipment can be recolored several times, allowing progressively finer designs.
Unchanged gameplay
Recoloring alters only the look of an item, so its original functions and balance stay the same.

Use cases
Themed equipment sets
Players can give a set of armor one shared color scheme that fits a character, faction or build theme.
Subtle adjustments
A player can make small changes to an existing piece to fine-tune its tone without starting over.
Who it’s for: Players who want equipment that stands out from the default textures, and server owners who want a visual customization option that does not alter balance.
