Hidden Armour
by Haage
Hidden Armour lets players choose which worn armor pieces, the elytra and the enchantment glint are drawn on their character, and hide any of them from the view of themselves or other players.
What it does
Visibility is set per armor piece, so a player can hide the helmet while keeping the boots visible, or hide the whole set at once. Separate switches control whether the elytra is included, whether the enchantment glint is shown, and whether nametags and shields are drawn. A slider sets how transparent the hidden armor appears when it is not fully removed from view.
Each setting can apply to the player's own character, to other players, or to both, so a player may see their own gear while others see a plain model. The mod runs on Fabric for 26.3 and across 1.21.5 – 26.3 in 12 release versions, with 2.4.0 as the latest Fabric file. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen. It is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it.
Key features
Per-piece visibility
Each armor piece can be hidden on its own, so helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots are controlled separately.
Self and other scopes
Visibility can be set for the player's own character, for other players, or for both.
Opacity slider
A slider controls how transparent the armor looks, from fully drawn to nearly invisible.
Elytra, glint and nametags
The elytra can be included or excluded, the enchantment glint can be turned off, and nametags can be hidden.
Shield visibility
Shields in either hand can be shown or hidden independently of the armor settings.
