Nod3py's Customs
by nod3py
Nod3py's Customs changes how players look and fight on the client, with cosmetic tweaks for armor, skulls and sword blocking, plus a dungeon map and Spirit Leap display.
What it does
The mod targets Minecraft 1.21.1 on Fabric and runs on the client only, so servers do not need it and players join without installing it. Its features are cosmetic and aim at fun on servers that players already use. It requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, and is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it not open source.
Visual options let a player hide the armor on a worn helmet or chest piece, toggle the display of armor-worn skulls, and bring back the older sword blocking behavior without equipping a shield. The mod also shows player heads for players within render distance, and it marks a player who has recently used Spirit Leap with an orange glow. It works with custom item models and textures. It is incompatible with ShowMeYourSkin.
Key features
Hidden armor
Hides the armor textures on worn pieces so the player model shows through, while the rest of the look stays as it was.
Sword blocking without a shield
Brings back the older sword blocking animation, so a sword can block without a shield in the offhand.
Armor worn skulls
Turns the display of skulls worn as armor on or off.
Dungeon map and heads
Adds a dungeon map and draws the heads of players within render distance.

Use cases
Cosmetic play on servers
Players can change their own view on any server, since the changes exist only on the client.
Spirit Leap tracking
Spirit Leap detection gives an orange glow to players who have just leapt, so they stand out in a group.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.21.1 who want client-side visual changes, and server owners who allow client mods and want cosmetic options without changing server files.
How it compares
Shield to Sword Block is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.11 under the MIT License, so it targets a later version than this mod. Old Shield Animation is also client-side on Fabric, but open source under the Apache License 2.0 and covers 1.20.3 – 26.2, so it reaches a wider range of versions.

What the author says
Recently, I created a mod that stops the rendering of not only armor, but also textured player skulls when worn. As I developed that mod, I figured I would add more and more features to a seperate mod-- a mod I've wanted for ages but never got. A mod that could add cosmetic functionality for servers I play on, and…
