Hide Armour Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open the Hide Armour Mod settings?
Press the keybind (default is usually configurable in your mod settings menu) to open the armor visibility panel, or access it through your mod menu. From there you can toggle which armor slots to hide.
Can I hide armor on other players or just my own character?
Hide Armour Mod only hides armor on your own character on your client—other players will always see your armor as normal, and you'll see theirs.
Does hiding armor remove its protection or effects?
No, hiding armor is purely visual. Your armor continues to provide full protection, enchantment effects, and functionality regardless of whether it's hidden.
Can I hide just the chestplate but keep the helmet visible?
Yes, the mod lets you customize which specific slots are hidden—you can hide any combination of helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots independently.
Why does my armor still show up after I hid it?
Make sure you've toggled the correct armor slot in the settings and that the setting has been applied. If using a custom resource pack, it may override the mod's visibility settings.
Does this mod work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, since it's client-side only, it works on any server without requiring the server to have the mod installed.
Can I save different armor visibility presets?
This depends on your mod version—check your settings menu to see if preset or profile options are available for quick switching between configurations.
Does hiding armor affect my performance?
No, the mod is lightweight and optimized; hiding armor may actually improve performance slightly by reducing rendered elements.
What happens to my armor visibility settings when I update the mod?
Your settings are typically saved in a config file and should persist after updates, though you may want to verify them in case of major version changes.
Can I hide armor only in specific situations, like during screenshots?
You can toggle armor visibility on and off whenever you want through the mod menu or keybind, so you can hide it temporarily for screenshots and show it again afterward.
