How to Outfit Farm Animals with 3D Protective Gear

Armoring Non-Traditional Livestock

While standard Minecraft limits defensive barding primarily to horses, Critter Armory introduces custom protective equipment across your barnyard.

The mod provides custom armor sets for:

• Horses
• Wolves
• Cats
• Cows
• Pigs
• Chickens
• Sheep (Note: Sheep armor is currently work-in-progress)

Applying Mob-Specific 3D Models

Every armor set in the mod features custom 3D modeling matched directly to the mob's anatomy rather than generic flat textures.

1. Select the specific armor designed for your target animal (for example, cow armor for a cow, chicken armor for a chicken).

2. Stand close to the mob and right-click it with the item in hand.

3. Observe the animal to verify the 3D model renders correctly over its body parts, such as wings on chickens or snouts on pigs.

4. If you need to retrieve the armor, right-click the animal with shears in hand.

Outfitting your livestock allows you to protect valuable breeding stock, utility pets, and farm animals from roaming monsters or accidental farm hazards.
