GeckoLib Armor Compat
by Linguardium
GeckoLib Armor Compat is a Fabric client-side patch that links animated armor from GeckoLib to the Cosmetic Armor mod.
What it does
The mod supplies compatibility code so that GeckoLib-animated armor can be shown through Cosmetic Armor slots. Geckolib is required, and Cosmetic Armor is an optional addition that the mod works with when present. Because the environment is client-side only, only the player's game needs the mod; servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric across seven release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.19.2, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the code in the public domain.
Key features
Animated armor support
Armor built on GeckoLib animations is drawn correctly when worn, so its motion is kept on screen.
Outdated GeckoLib 3 code removed
Code for GeckoLib 3 support, which had been dropped but still contained buggy logic, is removed from the mod.
Cosmetic Armor link
Animated armor appears in the cosmetic slots that Cosmetic Armor provides, without changing vanilla armor.

What the author says
GeckoLib3 support was dropped while still containing outdated buggy code. The GeckoLib team refuses to remove the unused code that crashes other mods because they don't want to look like they still support 1.18 or 1.19, despite their unused code breaking other mods.
