Accessories Wiki

Accessories is an accessory and equipment-slot framework for Minecraft mods. It gives developers a clean, extensible way to add wearable accessory slots - rings, amulets, necklaces, belts, gloves, capes, back items, and more - to players and other entities, and it provides a unified in-game accessories screen, slot groups, and an API for reacting to what a player has equipped.

Accessories is a dependency library: it has no standalone content and adds no gameplay of its own. It only becomes useful when a mod that adds accessories requires it. Accessories itself builds on owo-lib, so owo-lib must be installed alongside it.

Install Accessories whenever a mod that adds wearable accessories lists it as a dependency (mod id accessories). Without it, those mods will not load.

• The Aether uses Accessories for its wearable items and accessory slots.
• Any other mod that adds rings, amulets, capes, belts, or similar accessory items through this framework needs it.

Accessories has its own requirement: it depends on owo-lib. Always install owo-lib + Accessories together, plus the mod that actually adds the accessories.

Accessories is consumed by other mods as a dependency (mod id accessories). It requires owo-lib (mod id owo) on the classpath.

Adding it to a dev environment (Gradle):

repositories {
    maven { url "https://maven.wispforest.io" }
}
dependencies {
    modImplementation "io.wispforest:accessories:<version>"
    modImplementation "io.wispforest:owo-lib:<version>" // required
}

Key entry points (package root io.wispforest.accessories):

• io.wispforest.accessories.api - the main AccessoriesAPI, the Accessory interface, and capabilities for reading/modifying equipped accessories.
• Slot definitions - accessory slots and slot groups are defined through data (the accessories data type) so packs and mods can add or tweak slots.
• io.wispforest.accessories.menu - the in-game accessories screen/menu.
• Events/criteria - hooks for reacting when accessories are equipped or unequipped.

Refer to the upstream Accessories documentation for the full API and current version coordinates.

What does Accessories do on its own? Nothing visible - it is a framework. It only matters when a mod uses it to add accessory slots.

A mod says it needs Accessories - what do I do? Install Accessories and owo-lib in your mods folder alongside that mod.

I get a missing-dependency error for accessories or owo. Accessories needs owo-lib; make sure both are installed at compatible versions.

Where is the accessories screen? It is opened through the interface the accessory-adding mod exposes; Accessories provides the screen, the mod provides the items and slots.

Do I need it if no mod asks for it? No. It has no content of its own; install it only when a mod requires it.
