ArmorHide
by localcc
With ArmorHide installed on a server, a player can hide the armor other players wear, so their character looks bare to that viewer.
What it does
ArmorHide is a Fabric utility mod with server and client parts. The server needs it, while the client part is optional. A player who installs the client part can hide the armor that other players wear, including the head piece, and the setting stays on that player's side. Without the client part the armor is still shown to them. Fabric API is required on the server.
The client part adds a Mod Menu screen for its settings when Mod Menu is present, and it can also be run with Cloth Config API for a configuration screen. Players join a server that runs ArmorHide without installing anything. The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.18.1 – 1.21.5 across 13 release versions, with 1.1.3 for 1.21.5 as the latest file, dated 2025-06-14.
Key features
Hide other players' armor
A viewer can choose to hide the armor worn by other players, so they see those players without it.
Head piece hiding
The head slot can be hidden on its own, leaving the rest of a player's armor visible.
Optional client settings
The client part is optional, and the choice to hide armor applies only to the player who sets it.
Mod Menu integration
Settings are reachable from the Mod Menu screen on the client, alongside other installed mods.

How it compares
Hide The Players is client-side only, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and not open source, for 1.19 – 1.21. Hide Armor covers 1.21.11 – 26.2 under the MIT License but is not open source. Hide Arrows runs on the client or the server, and is under the WTFPL, not open source, across 1.16 – 26.3. ArmorHide, by contrast, needs the server and keeps its client part optional.
