Cosmetic Armor — Guide

Getting Started

  1. Open the cosmetic armor screen with its keybind (see Keybinds).
  2. Place the armor you want to display into the cosmetic slots. Keep your real, protective armor in your normal armor slots.
  3. Close the screen - your character now shows the cosmetic look while keeping the real armor's protection.

Your defense comes from the real slots; your appearance comes from the cosmetic slots.

Using the Cosmetic Slots & GUI

The mod's GUI gives you four cosmetic slots mirroring your helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.

  • Show different armor: put any armor piece in a cosmetic slot and it overrides the visual of the matching real piece - others see the cosmetic look, you keep the real stats.
  • Hide a piece: toggle a slot to hidden so that armor piece is not rendered at all (great for hiding a bulky helmet) while still wearing the real one for protection.
  • Per-slot control: each of the four slots is independent, so you can mix shown, hidden, and default looks freely.

Open it whenever you want to change your look; your real armor in the standard slots is never affected.
