Armor Override

by MrZylr

Armor Override swaps the model of worn armor for custom Blockbench .bbmodel files on the client, matching each piece by its displayed item name.

What it does

On first launch the mod generates an ArmorOverride folder in the game directory. It includes a default DragonArmorModel.bbmodel as a reference, and custom models can be placed in the same folder. A replacements.txt file maps Blockbench model names to armor display names, so the right model is shown for each named item.

Names are compared only on alphanumeric characters, ignoring other characters and letter case, and extra spaces are ignored.

Armor Override requires Fabric API. It is published only for Fabric, for Minecraft 26.1.2 and 26.2, and runs on the client alone. Because the change is rendered on the client, other players see the custom armor only when they use the same setup. Armor Override leaves gameplay untouched; its main use is on servers that give armor items custom names, as SkyBlock-style networks do.

Key features

  1. Model replacement for worn armor

    Worn armor is drawn with a custom model when its displayed item name matches an entry in the replacement list.

  2. Reference model included

    A default DragonArmorModel.bbmodel is generated as an example of the expected structure.

  3. Name mapping file

    The replacements.txt file links Blockbench model names to the armor display names used in game.

  4. Standard armor bone layout

    Models use the standard armor bones as top-level groups, so each piece lines up with the player body.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who use Blockbench to build custom armor models and want them shown on items with custom display names.

Questions

Does Armor Override need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency, and the mod is published only for the Fabric loader.

Do other players see the custom armor models?

Only when they also use the same setup. The mod runs on the client, so other players see the custom models only if they have the matching files and replacement entries.

How are custom models assigned to armor?

Each entry in replacements.txt maps a Blockbench model name to an armor display name. Names are matched on alphanumeric characters, ignoring case and extra spaces.
