Armour Texture Toggle
by noobrun076
Armour Texture Toggle lets a player hide worn armour from the rendered model with a single key press, while the armour keeps its protection and enchantments.
What it does
Armour Texture Toggle is a lightweight Fabric mod that stops equipped armour from being drawn on the player model. A key press switches the armour visibility on or off, and the setting is saved between game launches. Only the visual rendering changes: the armour stays equipped, keeps its protection values and enchantments, and works exactly as it normally would.
The mod is built for players who want to show a skin without armour covering it, such as skin showcases, screenshots, and content creators preparing footage. It is also used for PvP, where a player may want the skin visible while still protected, and for intros on a survival server where a player wants to start without fearing that a death will lose gear. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need to install it.
The mod works on the Fabric loader and the available files cover 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build, published on 2026-05-31. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Single key toggle
One key press hides or shows the equipped armour on the player model, with no menu to navigate.
Protection stays active
Hidden armour still provides its defence and enchantment effects, so combat and durability work as usual.
Saved preference
The chosen visibility state is kept between game launches, so the player does not need to set it again.
First and third person
The armour is hidden in both first-person and third-person views, with no change to how the rest of the game draws the player.

How it compares
Hide Armor Mod is also a client-side mod with MIT License, published for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, so it covers a narrower version range. Invisible Chainmail is open source under the MIT License, but it needs a server install and is limited to 1.21.1 – 1.21.3. Armour Texture Toggle is client-side only, covers 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, and is not open source.
