How to Equip and Remove Animal Armor

Equipping Custom Armor

Critter Armory allows you to outfit various domestic mobs with protective gear. The mod supports custom armor for horses, wolves, cats, cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep.

1. Place the appropriate mob armor into your active hotbar slot.

2. Walk up to the animal you want to protect.

3. Right-click the mob while holding the armor piece.

4. The armor will immediately snap onto the creature, displaying a unique 3D model tailored specifically to that animal's shape and size.

Removing Armor with Shears

Animal armor cannot simply be taken off by hand through standard inventory menus for most farm mobs. Instead, use shears to safely strip the gear:

1. Craft or obtain a standard pair of shears using two iron ingots.

2. Hold the shears in your main hand.

3. Right-click the armored animal.

4. The armor will detach from the mob and return to you, restoring the animal to its unarmored appearance.

Keep shears in a nearby chest at your pens so you can easily swap or remove armor whenever necessary.
