What it does

Critter Armory covers the horse, wolf, cat, chicken, cow, pig and sheep, with a separate armor set for each mob that uses custom models for that animal. A player equips a piece by right-clicking the mob and takes it off again with shears. The mod also adds two feeding items: Balanced Feed restores a set amount of health, and Vitality Feed raises a mob's maximum health in steps up to a configurable ceiling while fully restoring its health. The amounts and the ceiling are set in the config file.

Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 28 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the code is not open source, with all rights reserved by the author. The Mod Menu integration is optional and only adds a configuration screen.

Key features

  1. Armor for seven mobs

    Horse, wolf, cat, chicken, cow, pig and sheep each have their own armor set, with the sheep set still in progress.

  2. Equip and remove by hand

    Right-clicking an animal fits the armor, and shears take it back off.

  3. Custom armor models

    Every armor type has a model fitted to the body of the animal it covers.

  4. Balanced Feed

    Heals a mob by a configurable amount, six points by default.

  5. Vitality Feed

    Raises a mob's maximum health by a configurable step, six by default, up to a configurable cap of 30, and restores its health in full.

How it compares

Full comparison

Horse armors is open source under the MIT License, runs on client and server, and is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt only, for 1.19.3 – 1.20.2. No Animal Variants is server required with client optional, has All rights reserved licensing and covers 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, so it changes mob variants rather than armor.
