NoArmor
by nexusrealms
NoArmor lets players hide worn armor on the body while keeping its full protection, through a Phantom enchantment for armor pieces.
What it does
The Phantom enchantment is applied at an enchanting table or an anvil, and a Phantom enchantment book can be found as loot. Once an armor piece carries it, that piece becomes invisible on the wearer, so the skin shows through, and the armor still protects as before. The enchantment has two levels, and Level II makes the armor always invisible, not only while the wearer has the Invisibility status effect. The stated purpose is roleplay, stealth and showing off a skin without floating armor giving the wearer away.
With the hideArmorWhenInvisibleGlobal config option enabled, a server applies a global rule that hides every armor piece whenever the wearer has the Invisibility effect, and the enchantment is not needed for this. The mod is built with multiplayer in mind, so players can choose their own visibility style. The mod requires Fabric on version 1.21.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
