horse armor is not transparent when you're looking down

[peow]

If the horse has any armor, it is not transparent when the Player looks down

first pic: no armor second pic: putting armor third pic: with armor

Are you using any mods that effect the game rendering?

I remember this working perfectly in vanilla and sodium before.

hmmm so this is a mod conflit, I'll try to find out which mod is causing the problem and let you know

[peow]

ok, I found the mod that was causing conflict, it was Shiny Horses, which basically adds enchantments to horse armor, and even though the armor I tested wasn't enchanted it still caused problems, i just disabled it

but, i discover another mod giving the same problem, the Universal Enchants mod, this mod also allows horse armor to be enchanted, so I imagine that's the problem with your mod: it doesn't recognize horse armor that can be enchanted

More likely its them editing how horse armor is rendered to add an enchantment glint to it.

While I could implement a specific per-mod fix for this, that is hard to maintain and I am lazy.

This is what breaks transparency. Inorder to render things transparent it has to be on the correct render layer. I doubt there is even a render layer that supports the enchantment effect and transparency at the same time.

i see, ok no problem

[peow]

how difficult would it be to put an option in the mod so that if the horse is wearing armor it doesn't try to become transparent? because it looks strange

hello?
