hide me armor
by FW_NKTA
Hide me armor lets a player adjust how transparent the armor, helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots and held items look on their own character.
What it does
Transparency is set separately for each armor slot and for held items, from fully invisible (0%) to the default look (100%), with any value in between. The adjustment applies to both first-person and third-person views, so the player can control how the character appears on their own screen and in recordings. A key binding opens a transparency menu with the hiding options.
Only the client needs it, and servers do not have to install anything, so players can use it on any server. The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single release for 1.21.4 and one for 1.21.11, and the latest file is 1.03 for 1.21.11, first published on 2026-03-21 and last updated on 2026-04-02. The code is not open source and is distributed under All rights reserved. Fabric API is not listed as a requirement in the data, so no other mod is needed to run it.
Key features
Per-slot transparency
Each helmet, chestplate, leggings and boot slot has its own transparency value, so pieces can be faded independently.
Separate held item setting
Items held in the hands use their own transparency value, apart from the armor settings.
First and third person
The adjustment is applied in both camera views, which keeps screenshots and videos consistent.
Key-bound transparency menu
A key binding opens the transparency menu, where every hiding option is listed in one interface.

Use cases
Screenshots and video
A player who records or photographs their build can fade the armor so the character does not block the view.
Role-play and cosmetic looks
Players who want a lighter or near invisible appearance can set the armor to a slight transparency level.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want to change how their own armor and held items look, and who record gameplay or take screenshots. Servers do not need the mod, so it suits any multiplayer game.
