Epic Fight - Tinkers Armor Fix
by neojaden
Epic Fight - Tinkers Armor Fix corrects how Tinkers' Construct armor is drawn while Epic Fight's battle mode is active, so the worn pieces no longer show as diamond armor.
What it does
Tinkers' Construct armor does not rely on one fixed texture. Each piece is built from several layers that stack over the player's body. Under Epic Fight's combat mode, the rendering of those layers broke, and Tinkers armor could appear as plain diamond armor. This mod changes that path so the layers are combined into one complete texture on the fly and cached, and the correct look is shown whenever the armor is worn.
The fix needs Epic Fight and Tinkers' Construct to be present, since it works on the armor those two mods provide. It is a client-side only mod: only the client needs it, and a server can run without it. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Forge is the only loader listed, with a single build for 1.20.1, version 20.0.0, published on 2026-03-05.
Key features
Correct armor rendering
Tinkers armor displays its own materials and patterns in battle mode, instead of falling back to diamond armor.
Layered texture compositing
Separate armor layers are baked into one texture in real time, and the result is cached so it is not rebuilt every frame.
Worn-armor display
The corrected appearance applies whenever a Tinkers piece is worn during Epic Fight combat.

How it compares
Epic Armor Visibility is a client-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so it is open source. Tinker and Better Combat is for 1.20.1 on Forge and runs on client and server, and it is not open source, as its license is All rights reserved. Tinkers' Enchanting is a server-required Forge mod with client optional, covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License. This fix differs in its focus on Tinkers armor texture during battle.
