The client config is stored in config/colorful_armor_bar.json5. You can also open it in-game through Mod Menu on Fabric or the Mods screen on Forge and NeoForge. Saved changes apply immediately.

With grouping off, armor points follow worn-slot order. Leather dye colors and trim material colors still appear when their related effects are off.

Use Minecraft’s Accessibility settings to control enchantment glint speed and strength. Set glint speed to 0% to stop its movement. Set glint strength to 0% to hide it.

Add an armor icon at:

assets/<namespace>/textures/armoricon/<material_name>.png

For example:

• Diamond: assets/minecraft/textures/armoricon/diamond.png
• A ruby material from flingleblob: assets/flingleblob/textures/armoricon/ruby.png

Armor icons must be 18 × 9 pixels. The two 9-pixel halves are used for full and half armor points. Use a white or grayscale leather icon so dye colors stay accurate.

You do not need a custom icon for every armor set. When an icon is missing, the mod checks the item’s model texture layers for an average color. If those textures are unavailable, it tries the item texture. It then colors the iron-style fallback icon. Some custom item models do not expose a texture the mod can use.

A trim pattern can have its own mark at:

assets/<namespace>/textures/armoricon/trims/<pattern>.png

For example: assets/minecraft/textures/armoricon/trims/sentry.png

If that file is missing, the mod checks assets/colorful_armor_bar/textures/armoricon/trim.png, then Minecraft’s chestplate trim texture. Trim textures can be any size. Their transparent areas define the mark; the mod applies the trim material’s color.

Support for modded armor depends on the armor item exposing a material the mod can identify.
