Villager Armor Layer
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
This mod makes the armor layer of villagers, illagers, witches and some other mobs visible, just similar to zombie villagers.
Vanilla allows villagers, illagers and witches wear armors, but client players cannot see directly. If you install this mod, you will easily know what they are wearing.
