Armor Override

Armor Override is a client-side mod that replaces worn armor models with custom Blockbench .bbmodel files loaded from your game folder. It is useful for servers with custom-named armor items, such as Hypixel SkyBlock-style setups. The mod matches equipped armor by displayed item name and renders your custom model on your client.

How to use

  1. 1.Start the game once to generate the ArmorOverride folder
  2. A default DragonArmorModel.bbmodel is included as a reference
  3. Put your own .bbmodel files in that folder
  4. Edit replacements.txt
  5. Map model names to armor display names:

(Names only check for Alphanumeric characters, ignoring all other characters)

Example:

blockbench_model_name:item display name

DragonArmorModel:Dragon Helmet
DragonArmorModel:Dragon Platebody
DragonArmorModel:Dragon Platelegs
DragonArmorModel:Dragon Shoes

Matching is case-insensitive and ignores extra spaces.

Blockbench structure Use Minecraft armor bones as the top-level groups:

Optional:

Example:

body
  waist
right_arm
left_arm
right_leg
left_leg
right_boot
left_boot
head
  hat
