Show Me Your Skin!
by enjarai
With Show Me Your Skin!, players choose which armor pieces, the elytra and the shield stay visible, and how transparent each one is.
What it does
Each armor piece, the elytra and the shield can be configured separately. Options include arbitrary transparency, full invisibility, hiding the enchantment glint, and hiding the player name tag. Settings are changed in one graphical screen and can be adjusted during play.
Armor can also return to vanilla rendering under set conditions, for example while in combat, where it stays shown for a configurable number of seconds after the player takes damage. When the mod runs on a server, players' settings are synced to other players in real time, and server admins can restrict which settings are available. Without the mod on the server, a player can still set personal options for every other player, visible only to that player.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. It requires CICADA, Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib), and bundles Cardinal Components API. Files cover 1.18.1 – 26.2 on Fabric. Show Me Your Ponies! requires it.
Key features
Per-piece configuration
Helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, elytra and shield each get their own visibility settings.
Transparency and invisibility
Any armor piece can be made partly transparent or fully hidden, to any degree the player chooses.
Enchantment glint hiding
The shimmer that marks enchanted items can be turned off for worn armor.
Context-sensitive hiding
Armor can revert to vanilla rendering during combat, for a set number of seconds after damage.
Server-synced settings
With the mod on a server, each player's settings are shown to others in real time, and admins can limit the options.
Per-player overrides
Without the mod on the server, a player can set personal options for each other player, seen only locally.
