SkinToggle
by scarzehd
SkinToggle lets a player switch individual skin layers on and off from the client, using the skin customization options built into vanilla Minecraft.
What it does
Each skin layer, such as the hat, jacket or sleeves, can be shown or hidden separately, and the choice updates without a restart. Installation needs Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib); Mod Menu is optional and adds an in-game configuration screen. Only the client needs the mod, and a server install has no effect on the game. SkinToggle is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and is published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4.
Key features
Per-layer toggles
Each skin layer is switched independently, so a player can hide only the parts they do not want shown.
Vanilla skin system
Changes are applied through the skin customization options Minecraft already provides, not through a custom texture pipeline.
Configurable options
Several settings are available through the oωo configuration system, and Mod Menu can open them in-game.
Compatibility

What the author says
Do you want a mod that almost certainly does nothing useful? Then you're in the right place! This mod dynamically toggles skin layers using the built-in vanilla minecraft skin customization system, making it only necessary to install on the client. In fact, installing on the server will have no effect at all.
