#### **Usage**

<p class="callout info">Lite does not require tack to be equipped in any specific order, but it can only be equipped on a **tamed** horse.</p>

Horse Armor is an optional item to increase healing and resistance to damage sources. Armor can be equipped several ways:

- Place armor in the [horse inventory](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-overview#bkmrk-horse-inventory) armor slot (#3).
- `Right Click` a **tamed** horse with armor in hand.
- `Shift` + `Right Click` with armor in hand to **hot swap** armor.

##### Void Teleport

Amethyst tier armor will teleport the Horse to world spawn if they fall into the void. Includes rider if `voidTP = true` in [configs](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/server-config#bkmrk-void-tp).

##### Wings

Toggle opacity for armor wings using `.` (default) as an in-game alternative to using the [client config file](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/client-config).

- `0% (0)` Hidden
- `25% (1)`
- `50% (2)` Half opacity (transparent)
- `75% (3)`
- `100% (4)` Fully opacity (solid)
