Better Cosmetics
by Emiruantum
Better Cosmetics gives players magical armor pieces, a wand and a card for Forge 1.20.1, and Geckolib must be installed alongside it.
What it does
Better Cosmetics adds a set of magical items as cosmetics and gear: a Magical Hat, Cloth, Leggings and Boots, plus a Magical Wand and a Magical Card. The wand fires a freezing ball on a 3-second cooldown, and the card grants invisibility and speed for 4 seconds with a 10-second cooldown, at the cost of 3 hearts. The author describes the set as a way to add more cosmetic variety to a world.
The mod targets Forge on 1.20.1 only, with the latest file, 1.1.0, dated 2024-07-26 and published on the beta channel. Geckolib is required. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Better Cosmetics is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

How it compares
TMW Hats is another Forge 1.20.1 hat option, published under All rights reserved with a client and server environment. Simply Stylish is a Forge 1.20.1 cosmetic option, also under All rights reserved and client and server. Better Note Blocks is an MIT-licensed, open source Forge 1.20.1 mod that works on client and server, which makes it a different kind of addition from this cosmetic set.
