Description
If using 1.3, please report errors with mod icon configuration (icons being shown as iron armor when the mod is on the list of supported mods), by sending a private message with the mod with the error and the armor materials(s) affected (if the type is a vanilla type, item IDs). You can find out a mod ID and armor materials by pressing F3 + H while ingame and hovering over the items.
Armor Chroma is a mod which rehauls the vanilla armor bar. I will possibly be adding some other features in later versions. It adds:
- Different armor bar icons for different armor materials
- Displays glint (shine) for enchanted armor
- Displays different leather colors on the bar
This mod is based off of a suggestion by badhaloninja. It's on GitHub too.
