Rainbow Armor v3.2.1 – Hotfix

Fixed an issue introduced in v3.2.0 where:
  • Turning off check-block-inventories disabled horse armor animation entirely.

This update decouples horse animation from chest/container scanning, which drastically improves TPS performance in large worlds if you disable block scanning.

No config changes needed – just update!

Enjoy and let your horses shine again!

This update adds a requested feature: rainbow horse armor!

New Feature: Rainbow horse armor now supported!
Use /rainbowhorseitem to obtain animated leather horse armor.

Equip it on a horse — the armor will smoothly animate through rainbow colors!

Animation works exactly like player-bound and item-bound modes.
Improvements:

Internal code cleanup and future-proofing for expansion.
Improved internal tagging for item-bound armor tracking.​

Note:
Support for wolf armor is not yet available via the Spigot/Paper API.
We’ll revisit it once stable API support is added.
Enjoy the ride — in full color!

Rainbow Armor v3.1.1 Released!

A quick hotfix for a pesky bug discovered in v3.1:

  • ️ Fixes:
    • Players could previously override rainbow armor by right-clicking with other armor items, causing those items to be lost.
    • This bug was introduced in v3.0 and is now fixed — all armor interactions are now fully blocked while rainbow armor is active.

Special thanks to @Yohhannn for reporting the issue on GitHub!

✨ Update 3.1 — Smarter Animation, Safer Inventories

Rainbow Armor 3.1 is here with a rock-solid rework of inventory handling!

Changes:
  • Fixed duplication glitches when rapidly interacting with rainbow armor in inventories
  • Reworked internal animation scanner to avoid modifying cursor-held items
  • Guaranteed safe updates in chests, anvils, and player inventories
  • Improved code clarity and modularity under the hood
  • Creative mode still allows client-side tricks (intended, safe)

This update is all about stability and smoothness. Rainbow armor animations now behave consistently across all normal gameplay contexts.

Thanks for supporting Rainbow Armor! ️

Version 3.0 is here!

This is potentially the biggest update yet! Rainbow Armor now supports two completely separate modes of animation:

  • Item-Bound Armor: Use /rainbowitem to give players real, tangible armor items that glow and animate on their own — even when stored!
  • ⚔️ Player-Bound Armor: The classic toggle animation with /rainbow is still supported.
  • Fully Configurable Animation Context: Choose exactly where rainbow items animate!
  • Known Bug: Spam-clicking animated items may cause a duplication glitch. A fix is being explored.
  • New Config Options: Check out config.yml or the README on GitHub for details.

Enjoy the colors!

✨ What's New in v2.6:

✅ Fixed a critical armor swap exploit:
---> @ Araxyte reported this issue in our discord server https://discord.gg/4KtJcSqk
- Players could previously steal rainbow armor by swapping it out and closing their inventory.
- This has now been fully patched — all armor slots are locked down.

Full protections now include:
  • Clicking or picking up items from armor slots
  • Shift-clicking armor to auto-equip
  • Placing armor from the cursor
  • Dragging and dropping armor
  • Using number keys to swap items into armor slots
  • Closing inventory with rainbow armor on cursor

Other improvements:
- Event priority raised to HIGHEST for better conflict handling
- Code fully cleaned and documented with JavaDocs
- Minor performance and readability tweaks

Thanks to everyone who reported and tested this issue!
Rainbow Armor is now more secure than ever ️

Rainbow Armor has been updated to version 2.5 with full support for Spigot 1.21!
This was a straightforward compatibility bump, but I took the opportunity to polish things up under the hood:

✅ Updated all API versions and dependencies
✅ Bumped to the latest JUnit
✅ Cleaned up all IntelliJ warnings in the codebase
✅ Build is clean and stable on Java 21+ and Java 24

No gameplay changes this time — just a rock-solid base for the latest Minecraft version.

Enjoy the smooth colors, and as always, let me know if you run into any issues! ✨

Small update with:
  • Small code optimizations;
  • Customizable player messages in the config
Currently not supporting different colors for messages.


Example config (of plugin Version 2.3):
Code (YAML):
cycle-speed : 5
plugin-reloaded-message
: Rainbow armor plugin reloaded.
no-permission-message
: You don't have permission to use this command.
armor-enabled-message
: Rainbow armor enabled.
armor-disabled-message
: Rainbow armor disabled.
no-empty-spaces-message
: Your rainbow armor was removed!
 
----------, Feb 21, 2024

You can now set a default cycle speed in a config.yml.
You can refresh the config by executing /rainbowreload (permission: rainbow.reload).
You can now set a cycle speed when enabling the armor with /rainbow <speed> :)

Go full disco mode if you like ;)

XSeven handed this resource over to me.
I've completely rewritten it, but based on the original code.
That's why I'm posting version 2.0.
From here on, the code will also be open source.

The resource page itself will reflect the current way of using the plugin etc.
