Cosmetics and Attachments Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get cosmetics to show up on my character?
Cosmetics appear through the Appearance Controller, which is a background system that other mods and packs use to add custom models to your player. You don't equip cosmetics directly—instead, the mod that adds them (like a cosmetics pack) handles displaying them on your character automatically.
Can I change my skin texture with this mod?
Yes, the mod includes Skin Adjustments that let you modify and customize your base skin texture. You can adjust your appearance through the mod's skin customization options without needing to change your Minecraft account skin.
Why aren't my cosmetics animating?
Animated attachments need proper setup to play their animations. Check that the cosmetics pack you're using is compatible with this mod, that GeckoLib is installed (required for complex animations), and that there are no conflicting mods. Restart your game after installing or updating packs.
What does 'bone linking' mean?
Bone linking attaches custom cosmetic items directly to specific parts of your character model—like your arms, legs, or body—so they move and rotate naturally with your character's animations instead of staying frozen in place.
Do I need GeckoLib for this mod to work?
GeckoLib is required if you want animated cosmetics to display their animations correctly. Without it, cosmetics may appear but won't animate properly. Make sure GeckoLib is installed and up to date.
Can I use this mod with other cosmetics mods?
This mod is designed to work as a background system for cosmetics, so compatibility depends on whether other mods are built to use it. Check the documentation of other cosmetics mods to see if they support this mod's Appearance Controller system.
My cosmetics look wrong or are in the wrong position on my character
This usually means the cosmetics pack wasn't set up correctly for bone linking, or there's a conflict with another mod affecting your character model. Try removing other mods that modify player appearance, and verify the cosmetics pack is designed for this mod.
Do cosmetics affect my performance or FPS?
Cosmetics add extra models and animations to your character, which uses some resources, but the impact is usually minimal. If you experience lag, try disabling cosmetics temporarily to confirm they're the cause, then check if you have too many cosmetics active at once.
How do I know if a cosmetics pack is compatible with this mod?
Look for packs that specifically mention support for this mod's Appearance Controller or bone linking system. The pack's description or documentation should state compatibility. If unsure, check the mod's community forums or the pack creator's page.
Can I see cosmetics on other players in multiplayer?
Cosmetics are client-side only, meaning you see them on your own character, but other players won't see your cosmetics unless they also have the same mod and cosmetics pack installed. Other players will only see your standard Minecraft skin.
