Overview

Armourer's Workshop transforms the way players customize their characters by moving beyond 2D textures into the world of 3D voxel modeling. Instead of being limited to standard armor sets, players can use the mod's specialized blocks and tools to sculpt unique designs for every piece of equipment, including helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, swords, shields, bows, and even wings. These designs, known as Skins, are saved as files that can be shared across servers or downloaded from a global community library.

The mod is highly compatible with other equipment-based mods and provides a dedicated wardrobe system to manage cosmetic overlays without interfering with the stats of the underlying vanilla or modded armor.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with Armourer's Workshop?
Craft a Skinning Table and place it to open the skinning interface. Use a Skin Template to create a new skin, then edit it with the various tools.
How do I make a Skin Template?
Skin Templates are crafted via a shaped recipe and serve as the base item you edit into a custom skin. Once edited, the template becomes a finished skin that can be applied to armor or blocks.
How do I apply a skin to my armor?
Use the Skinning Table to load a skin onto a piece of armor. You can also use the Armourer block to apply skins to armor pieces directly.
What is the Armorer block for?
The Armorer block is a placeable station used to apply skins to armor pieces. Right-click it to open its interface and load a skin onto the armor you're holding.
How do I unlock skin slots for different body parts?
Craft the corresponding slot unlock items: Head Skin Slot Unlock, Chest Skin Slot Unlock, Legs Skin Slot Unlock, Feet Skin Slot Unlock, Outfit Skin Slot Unlock, or Wings Skin Slot Unlock. Each unlocks that slot for applying skins.
What does the Outfit Maker do?
The Outfit Maker is a block that lets you combine or manage outfit-type skins. Place it and open its interface to work with outfit skins.
How do I paint on a skin?
Use the Paintbrush or Paint Roller on a skin in the Skinning Table interface. The Dye Bottle and Color Mixer provide colors, and the Color Picker lets you sample existing colors.
What are the Color Mixer and Dye Table for?
The Color Mixer block combines dyes to create custom colors for painting skins. The Dye Table is a station for managing and applying dyes to your skinning tools.
What do the Burn Tool, Dodge Tool, and Hue Tool do?
These are skin-editing tools used within the skinning interface: Burn Tool darkens, Dodge Tool lightens, and Hue Tool shifts the hue of painted pixels. Use them with a skin loaded in the Skinning Table.
What is the Hologram Projector?
The Hologram Projector is a block that displays a holographic preview of a skin. Place it and load a skin to view it in the world.
What is the Mannequin and Mannequin Tool for?
