VanitySlots

by Nyako

VanitySlots adds four vanity armor slots to the inventory, so the armor shown on a player can differ from the armor actually worn.

What it does

The mod uses the Trinkets API to place four extra slots in the player inventory. Whatever armor sits in these slots is rendered on the character in place of the equipped armor, so a player can wear one set for protection and display another set for looks.

VanitySlots also adds four armor pieces whose purpose is to hide the armor underneath. Each is crafted by surrounding a leather armor piece with eight glowstone dust in a crafting table. An optional setting, off by default, makes monsters react to the visible armor instead of the equipped armor: gold armor in a vanity slot stops piglins from attacking, and full familiar armor combined with invisibility hides the player from mobs unless they are close.

Installation needs Accessories, Configuration, Fabric API and Trinkets Updated, and Mod Menu is optional. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on client and server. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.16.3 – 26.3, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, making the mod open source.

Key features

  1. Four vanity armor slots

    Four extra inventory slots display armor that replaces the visible equipment without changing what the player wears.

  2. Hiding armor pieces

    Four armor pieces are added to cover the armor a player is currently wearing.

  3. Glowstone crafting recipe

    Hiding armor is made from leather armor surrounded by eight glowstone dust in a crafting table.

  4. Mob perception option

    A configuration option, off by default, makes monsters judge the visible armor rather than the equipped armor.

Questions

Does VanitySlots need Trinkets Updated?

Yes. Trinkets Updated is a required dependency, along with Accessories, Configuration and Fabric API.

Does the server need VanitySlots installed?

Yes. Both the server and every player need the mod, because it runs on client and server.

What does the mob perception option change?

When enabled in the configuration, monsters react to the armor a player shows rather than the armor equipped, for example piglins ignore gold armor in a vanity slot.
