Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Cosmetic Armor Updated

About

Updated version of Apace's original Cosmetic Armor mod for Fabric 1.21.x to 26.1.x.
Cosmetic Armor Updated adds a cosmetic Trinket slot for each armor slot. Placing a piece of armor in a cosmetic slot will only visually override the armor worn in the armor slot, without affecting the main armor capabilities.
