This mod is my reworked version of Cosmetic Armor.
The original mod has a few bugs, and it is licensed under MIT License. The author hasn't fixed them, so I figured why not make my own version.
This mod allows you to wear two sets of armor, one for display, one for function.
You can also hide armor for your skin.
For PVP, you can stop the mod from functioning on your client side.
You can press a key (default is set to 'None', you need to change it in Controls under Inventory category) or the button added in your inventory screen (bottom right to your character, similar to the Baubles button) to open the Cosmetic Armor Inventory, left side is your normal armor slots, right side is your cosmetic armor slots.
Any armor placed in cosmetic armor slots will not have any effect on you, only for display purpose.
They will drop on death. There is a config option to allow you to keep them after death.
Little square buttons on cosmetic slots are Skin toggles. When turned on (white), that piece of armor will not display at all.
This mod also adds those buttons to bauble slots. When turned on (white), that piece of bauble will not display at all. There is a config option to disable this.
Little square button on the left to inventory button is mod disable toggle. When turned on (white), the mod will not work on your client side, this is for PVP.
There is a command '/clearcosarmor [player]' to clear one's cosmetic slots.
There is an API for other mods to interact with.

I was wondering if there was a possibility of making a weapon variant to this mod and how difficult that would be. A lot of weapons in other mods don't look appealing but provide great stats.
there would be nice if there where a version of this that could make a cosmetic skin on your tinker tools
This mod does not seem to be working for me idk why. I'm using mc1.12.2 and v4a
Update I got this working bit come to find out it will not work with JJ - Races - v1.0.7 do you think when you can you could add support for that mod?
Link to his mod is https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/jj-races
Pleeeeeease upgrade to 1.14.2
I use this mod and armorers' workshop, but for some reason when I toggle my armor to make it invisible, it disappears from the armor slot also. Do you know why this could be happening?
Does this work in multiplayer now?
For some reason, this mod isn't working for me. No matter the configuration, the cosmetic armors won't show up over the selected worn armor.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm using the most recent build for 1. 12. 2 on a new world.

I am Brazilian, this text has been translated by google translator, if you have wrong sentences, sorry I wanted to know if I could have the effect of the two amaduras, for example, a strength armor and a speed armor, and I wanted to be able to use both at the same time ... Can you help me recommend some mod that does this or if you would help me? Please, I really need it!In reply to zexg4m3r:
I am not aware of such mod using Forge. But there is a mod being developed by someone using Fabric that does multiple armor items in one armor slot, you probably can find him/her in Fabric's discord server.
Suggestion: A button to swap your cosmetic armor with your worn armor.
Reason/Example of why: I play a pack that has Draconic Evolution and Thaumcraft. I much prefer my draconic armor, but when I'm doing thaumcraft stuff I need the thaumic armors for the VIS discounts. I only switch to them long enough to do the task then switch back.
It'd be nice if there was a hot key (even if it's in the cosmetic inventory screen as a button) to swap your equipment the same way the key for swapping to off hand works.
In reply to ArashiDragon99437:
Although it is fairly easy and simple to implement such button and hot key, my mod's sole purpose is just replace/hide those armors visually, swapping between them would be beyond that.
I think there are already mods that do similar job, like armor stands from BiblioCraft and modified vanilla armor stands by Quark.
If the pack you are playing doesn't have those, most packs come with tweaks to mouse movements that allow very fast item swapping. From my experience of playing Thaumcraft, once I got that charger thing, I rarely ran out of vis.
Creating an armor swapper through vanilla redstone would also be a fun challenge.
It is possible to implement this in an Addon mod as required API to manipulate cosmetic slots from out side is already in place. If you really need this feature, I could make it into an Addon mod.
In reply to ZLainSama:
Don't need it, was more of a convenience idea, and a time saver from swapping armors constantly.
If I would have started with Thaumcraft it'd have been simpler, but I didn't start Thaumcraft until I had the best armor and weapons/tools from Draconic Evolution. I'm just used to all the abilities/capabilities the armor gives me and feel naked without it.
As of this reply I just got to the charger, and recently got a flux cleanup system going, so it's not so bad/annoying anymore, but to start swapping armors to get the vis discount was annoying.
If you do 'want' to make it as an add on, I'd definitely use it, I'm sure others would to, but I'm not going to die if I don't have it.
In reply to ArashiDragon99437:
Okay.
I'm just lazy.
I'll keep this in a list of suggestions for when I decide to create such addon mod.
basically terraria armor.
how do you open the cosmetic armor menu? whenever i hit the button or the chestplate in the bottom right they just change color and nothing happens
In reply to EnzoIsPrettyCool:
Check your server side, the mod also needs to be installed on server for it to properly function.
In reply to ZLainSama:
Its just LAN
In reply to EnzoIsPrettyCool:
Which version are you using? and forge version.
In reply to ZLainSama:
1.13.2 and b110
In reply to EnzoIsPrettyCool:
Great, thank you for your report. I will get a fixed version out soon.
