Command Show Skin
by t0omkaq
Command Show Skin lets a player hide each armor piece with a command while the protection and enchantments stay active, and it works with Fabric on 1.21.1.
What it does
A player can hide the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots one at a time, or all four with a single command, so the visible skin shows through. Armor that is hidden still counts toward protection, so a diamond chestplate keeps its defensive value and enchantments and bonuses are not lost when it is out of sight. Showing a piece again restores it the same way.
The hide and show settings are synced across the server, so other players see the skin and not the armor. The mod works alongside player model mods and cooperates with the Render Guard system mod to correctly hide and show armor on modified player models, including models from mods such as Female Gender Mod. Fabric is the only loader it is published for, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are available for 1.21.1 only, dated 2026-03-30.
Key features
Total invisibility
A single command hides all four armor pieces at once, leaving only the bare skin visible.
Per-piece control
Each helmet, chestplate, leggings and boot can be hidden or shown individually.
Protection kept
Hidden armor still provides its full protection, along with enchantments and bonuses.
Synced for other players
Hide and show settings update instantly for everyone on the server, so other players see the skin rather than the armor.
Player model support
Armor is hidden or shown correctly on modified player models through the Render Guard system mod.

How it compares
Hide Player List is a Fabric mod for 1.21.10 that runs on client and server, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. SkinBlink is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that runs on the client alone, under All rights reserved. AutoCape is also Fabric for 1.21.11, client-side only, and published under the MIT License. Command Show Skin targets 1.21.1 and needs the server and every player, unlike SkinBlink and AutoCape.
