Colorful Armor
by Podloot
Colorful Armor lets players dye certain armor pieces with dyes, giving players a wider set of armor colors for cosmetic customization.
What it does
The mod allows more armor types to be colored with dyes, so players can build armor sets that match a chosen palette. The dyeing works with multiple dye colors, and the exact crafting method depends on the Minecraft version, since supported armor types differ between releases.
Colorful Armor is a Forge mod released for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Its focus is changing appearance rather than gameplay: it does not add a progression system, custom mobs, structures or quests. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features

Extra armor types
