Plated Palms Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why can't I see armor on my hands in first person?
Check that armor rendering is enabled in your mod config—look for the setting that controls whether arm wear displays when armor is equipped. If it's disabled, turn it on to see your equipped chestplate sleeves and armor details on your hands.
How do I hide a specific armor piece from showing on my hands?
Use the blacklist armor for rendering option in your config and add the item ID of the armor you want to hide. Any armor on that blacklist will no longer appear on your player hands in first person.
My modded armor looks weird or stretched on my hands—how do I fix it?
Try enabling the 'use check by item' option in your config, which improves compatibility with specialized modded armor by checking item stacks more carefully. If the issue persists, you can blacklist that specific armor to prevent it from rendering on your hands.
Can I see my arm skin under the armor?
Yes—enable the setting for rendering arm wear with vanilla armor models, which will show your hand skin details beneath standard armor. This option works best with vanilla armor types.
Do I need to install this mod on my server?
No, Plated Palms is a client-side only mod, so it works without any changes to your server. Other players won't see your armor sleeves unless they also have the mod installed.
Why do enchanted armor glints look strange or not appear on my arms?
The mod renders enchantment glints directly onto your visible arm armor—if they're not showing, make sure enchantments are enabled in your game settings and that the armor piece isn't blacklisted in your mod config.
Does this mod work with all armor types?
It works with most standard and custom armor sets, but some specialized modded armor may need the 'use check by item' option enabled for proper compatibility. You can always blacklist problematic armor pieces individually.
How do I adjust the size of vanilla armor on my hands?
Use the 'vanilla armor model size' setting in your config to change the visual scale of standard armor models. Adjust this value until the armor fits neatly on your player hands without looking oversized or too small.
Is there a performance impact from rendering armor on my hands?
The mod is lightweight, but enabling 'use check by item' for modded armor can help optimize performance by checking item stacks more efficiently. If you experience lag, try blacklisting heavy custom armor pieces.
Can I see armor sleeves while holding items in my hands?
Yes—the mod displays equipped chestplate sleeves and armor details on your hands even while you're holding tools, weapons, or other items in first person view.
