ArmorAura
by nobody174
ArmorAura lets worn armor display a swirling, glowing aura made of particles, with a choice of more than ten styles including flame, soul, electric and dragon breath.
What it does
Auras are triggered automatically by the armor a player has equipped, so the effect appears without any extra action once a set is worn. Players can switch styles, presets and colors through in-game commands, and the rotating particle rings can be customized in real time. A solid colored outline glow can be added around the character.
Visible aura effects reach other players on the server, so the look carries into multiplayer as well as single-player play. Because the particles and outline are drawn on both sides, installation is required on the client and on the server. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.1.5 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

An aura starts when the matching armor is equipped and stops when it is removed, with no separate activation step.
