Cosmetic Armor Reworked Forked
by zzik2
Players who want a display outfit and a working set of gear can wear both at once with Cosmetic Armor Reworked Forked, which adds a second armor slot set.
What it does
The mod lets a player wear two sets of armor at the same time: one set shown for appearance and one set that does the actual work. The cosmetic set can keep a look while the functional gear underneath is still checked and used. It is useful when a player wants to keep a chosen style but still verify which armor is really being worn.
Cosmetic Armor Reworked Forked is published for Fabric and NeoForge under the 1.21.1 game version, with the latest files 1.21.1-0.0.4 for Fabric and NeoForge, both dated 2026-02-27. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under a custom license and is not open source.
