Skinful is a datapack that allows players to either make their armor invisible, or change its visual model, all without sacrificing any functionality.

THIS DATAPACK DOES NOT WORK FOR MODDED ARMORPIECES!

Version 1.5 is NOT backwards compatible! Please download the appropriate version according to your Minecraft version.

Usage

To hide or change your armor, equip the armor pieces you wish to change, and run

/trigger skinful

... and then click on the relevant text string.

Why use Skinful?

Skinful is just a datapack, which means players on your server don't need to download a resource pack to experience the effects. This is different from other projects, as the effects of Skinful will be visible (or rather invisible) to all players with no work required.

How does it work?

Using the new equippable component introduced in 1.21.2, players are now able to change the model of equippable items, like armor pieces and elytras. Skinful essentially just chooses a non-existent model, which in turn renders the armor invisible.

Does this work with modded armorpieces?

No, atleast not out of the box. Perhaps there is a better way to do this, but this datapack works by checking for all armorpieces currently in the game. Firstly, if you're using this on a modded server, I would advice you to just use a mod that does the same thing like Show Me Your Skin by ejarai. If you do insist on using this datapack however, it shouldn't be too hard to edit the datapack yourself. Check out the unhide_armor.mcfunction file, it makes it pretty clear!

Future plans

In the future, I'd like to do two things.

1. Fix the code. The code right now is functional, but it's pretty ugly, and I'm sure there is a smarter way of doing this.
2. Allow for the player to choose what armor they want to present, e.g. chainmail armor visuals with netherite defense.

In case of emergency!

If the datapack messes your items up, please feel free to message me on Discord @finderrio.
