🛑 Why another armor hider plugin?
Most armor hider plugins intercept physical inventory clicks or cancel equipment events. This traditional approach is notorious for causing item duplication glitches, breaking server logic, and lagging the main thread.
EligiusHiddenArmor takes a revolutionary approach: It operates purely at the network level using PacketEvents.
What does this mean for you?
- 📉 Zero Server Lag: The server continues treating the armor normally (calculating damage, durability, and enchantments). We just intercept the packets sent to the clients, telling them the armor is "invisible".
- 🛡️ Zero Duplication Glitches: Since we never touch the physical inventory block logic, duping items is impossible.
- 🚀 Future-Proof & Universal: Runs natively on Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Folia 1.21+ out of the box.
✨ Features that stand out
🎭 Immersive Roleplay Experience
- Seamless Protection: Hide your helmet, chestplate, leggings, or boots visually to show off your skin, while retaining 100% of your Netherite protection.
- Smart Elytra Exception: We know players love flying. Elytras are explicitly ignored by the hider engine, preventing awkward visual glitches while gliding.
- Native Placeholders: When players open their inventory, their hidden armor is represented by visually translated placeholder items, keeping the UI consistent.
👑 Player Control & i18n
- Granular Toggling: Players can use
/eha toggle <piece> to hide specific parts, or just /eha toggle for their full set.
- Admin Control: Staff can toggle the armor of other users remotely using
/eha toggle <piece> <player>.
- Global i18n: In-game messages are completely customizable via language files with hot-swapping support.
- bStats Integration: Anonymous usage metrics help guide the plugin's development. Opt-out anytime in your global bStats config.
⚡ Enterprise Scalability
- Folia Ready: Built completely asynchronous and Multi-Threaded.
- Multi-Server Database: Connect multiple servers using our highly optimized HikariCP MySQL/MariaDB adapter, or keep it lightweight with SQLite.
- Redis Pub/Sub Synchronization (NEW): Instant, zero-polling memory synchronization across your entire BungeeCord or Velocity proxy network. Toggle your armor in the Hub, and it stays hidden when you join Survival!
