About this Mod

This mod adds several options to fix faulty skin uploads of other players.
The default behavior is to switch the player model from wide to slim if black bars are detected. But there is also an option to stretch the arm texture to fit the wide model. And it's also possible to replace all slim models with the wide model.

Here is an example with default options (see gallery for all possibilities):

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Black Bar Concealer need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Black Bar Concealer as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Black Bar Concealer require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Black Bar Concealer is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
