Black Bar Concealer

by Gerrygames

Black Bar Concealer hides the black bars that appear on some player skins when a slim-arm skin is shown on the wide model.

What it does

When another player uploads a faulty skin, the arms can show dark stripes. The mod can switch that player's model from wide to slim when it detects the bars, which removes them from view. Other options stretch the arm texture to fill the wide model, or replace every slim model with the wide one.

The mod needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Its files cover 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric only.

Key features

  1. Automatic model switch

    Detects black bars on a player's skin and changes that player's arms from the slim model to the wide model.

  2. Arm texture stretch

    An alternative option stretches the arm texture so it fits the wide model without a model change.

  3. Replace all slim models

    An option replaces every slim model with the wide model, regardless of whether bars are found.

What the author says

This mod adds several options to fix faulty skin uploads of other players. The default behavior is to switch the player model from wide to slim if black bars are detected. But there is also an option to stretch the arm texture to fit the wide model. And it's also possible to replace all slim models with the wide model.
