HideArmor - Advanced Armor Visibility Control

A Hytale plugin that allows players to toggle the visibility of their armor pieces while maintaining full protection benefits. Now featuring a privacy-focused mutual opt-in system for multiplayer interactions, LuckPerms integration, and comprehensive admin controls.

Check some of my other mods as well:

• Equipment Plus Hud - Check on HUD for your current item durability, and ammunition count

⚠️ Important: Permission System Changes in 0.7.2

Commands now require proper permissions! By default, permission nodes may be ALLOWED unless explicitly denied. For security, we recommend using LuckPerms and explicitly denying admin commands for default players. See Permission Setup below.

⚡ Known Behavior: Armor Flickering

When armor visibility updates during inventory changes (equipping/unequipping), a brief flicker may occur. This is due to Hytale's packet system processing the original item before our filter applies.

Mitigation Options:

• Adjust refreshDelayMs in players.json (default: 50ms, range: 10-1000ms)
• Higher values reduce flicker frequency but add slight delay
• This is a visual-only effect and doesn't impact gameplay

Permission Setup

⚠️ SECURITY WARNING

By default, Hytale may ALLOW commands if permissions are not explicitly set. This includes admin commands! Always configure permissions properly.

Option 1: LuckPerms (Recommended) ✅

Install LuckPerms for advanced permission management. HideArmor automatically detects LuckPerms and uses it for all permission checks.

Deny admin access by default:

/lp group default permission set dev.nxtime.hidearmor.command.hidearmoradmin false

Grant player commands to a group:

/lp group member permission set dev.nxtime.hidearmor.command.hidearmor true
/lp group member permission set dev.nxtime.hidearmor.command.hidehelmet true

Grant admin commands to admins only:

/lp group admin permission set dev.nxtime.hidearmor.command.hidearmoradmin true

Option 2: Native Permissions (permissions.json)

Quick Setup

Use the "Setup Permissions" button in /hidearmoradmin to automatically configure player permissions!

Manual Setup

Modify your permissions.json:

{
  "users": { ... },
  "groups": {
    "Default": [],
    "OP": ["*"],
    "Adventure": [
      "dev.nxtime.hidearmor.command.hidearmor",
      "dev.nxtime.hidearmor.command.hidehelmet"
    ]
  }
}

Note: Do NOT add dev.nxtime.hidearmor.command.hidearmoradmin to player groups - this should be admin-only!
