nileca
by daniel.murse
With nileca, a player can hide the armour worn by one player on a Fabric server, so that other players see the skin underneath.
What it does
nileca lets server operators and players choose whether the armour of an individual player is shown. Hiding the armour shows the bare skin of that player to everyone, and showing it again restores the normal look. The change applies to one selected player at a time, which keeps the effect narrow and simple to reverse.
Commands are the way the setting is changed. The nileca set command takes a player selector, a body part (all, head, torso, leggings or boots) and true or false, and applies the visibility to the chosen players. The nileca list command prints the current visibility of each player in chat, so an operator can check the state before changing anything.
Settings are saved between sessions and restored when the world loads, so the chosen visibility does not reset on restart. The mod is purely cosmetic and changes no gameplay values. It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1, and Fabric API is required alongside it. Files are released under CC0 1.0 Universal and are not open source in the sense of a public code repository.
Key features
Per-player armour visibility
Armour can be hidden or shown for a single named player, leaving every other player's equipment unchanged.
Body part selection
The set command targets all armour or one slot at a time: head, torso, leggings or boots.
Chat listing
The list command reports which players currently have armour hidden, sent to the chat window.
Saved settings
Visibility choices persist across sessions and are applied again when the world loads.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who run Fabric servers on Minecraft 1.20.1 and want per-player cosmetic control. Players need the mod only when they want to see the bare skin of others, since the server side handles the change.
How it compares
PassiveArmour is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11, so it does not overlap with nileca's 1.20.1 build. Toggle Skin is client-side only, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and published for 1.20.1, so it changes only what one player sees on their own screen. Hide Item Frames is client-side only with a custom license and covers 1.20 – 1.20.2.
