Help to change the initial configuration of a material used for armor items.

Hi!

I would like to post a ticket to ask for help.

I have been using ItemsAdder for some time to develop my server and I use a few custom item packs.

I have no bugs to report but in certain packs, and more particularly armor, I noticed that the “helmet” was very often configured as a “paper” and not "classic helmet" like “leather_helmet”. For playability concerns on my server I would like to change this. I want to move from the “paper” material to those categorized by “leather_helmet”.

Except that I can't get this change to work completely, a problem with the textures arises.

Let me explain :

- In the config file of these packs, I change the “material: PAPER” part to “material: LEATHER_HELMET”. So far, no problem.

- I do a /iazip.

- I select the custom helmet whose initial material I wanted to change and there, as soon as I want to equip it, the item takes on the basic appearance of a leather_helmet and not its custom appearance. If I have the item (leather_helmet custom) in my hand, the texture is the right one (the custom one) but as soon as I equip it, nothing more, the texture is that of basic Minecraft, that of a helmet in leather…

I tried to change many parameters and carried out numerous tests but nothing worked, I can't fix this little problem. I also took help from the wiki but despite that, it still didn't work.

For your part, do you have some suggestions to give me in order to enlighten me on the steps to follow to overcome this problem so that the texture is properly loaded once the item is equipped?

I hope my explanations are understandable enough, if necessary, I can provide screens and more details.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Have a good day,

This is completely normal
Minecraft does not allow you to make variants with equipment pieces
The only possibility there is for customs is to use the color variants of the leather armor but it's only a modification of texture, not the model
This is why we cannot customize pieces of equipment other than leather, why it is impossible to associate other models with them and cannot make variations in 3D

Hi!

Thank you for your reply.

I think there was a misunderstanding.

I don't particularly want to replace the "paper" material only with a "leather_helmet" but with any helmet. My goal is not to have the color variants of the leather_helmet, I took "leather_helmet" only as an example. This could have been an "Iron_Helmet" or any.

In fact, I simply have packs with sets of armor for example: "lightning set", inside this pack there is the "Lightning Helmet", the "Lightning chestplate", "Lightning leggins ", "lightning boots".

All items in the armor set have a material corresponding to the base minecraft one. For example, the "Lightning chestplate" is considered a "leather_chestplate" in this pack's configuration. All except the helmet which is configured by the material "paper"... what I just want is for the helmet to also be considered as a real "helmet" and not as a "paper".

Here is attached my configuration file (screen1). As you can see, the "helmet" is considered as a "paper" material and not "helmet" material. I tried replacing the line "47 material: PAPER" with "material: IRON_HELMET/LEATHER_HELMET/DIAMOND_HELMET" but it only works half way. As soon as the player equips the helmet, the custom texture disappears.

No, I understood very well and as I explained to you, it is not possible to associate a model with to piece of equipment.

This is why we cannot customize pieces of equipment other than leather, why it is impossible to associate other models with them and cannot make variations in 3D

The only thing we can do is associate a texture and the only way to have armor variants without affecting the vanilla files is to use the color variations of the leather armor.

Oh okay ! I understand much better, thank you very much for these explanations. It's much clearer now. Sorry, there are still some points that I don't fully master or understand!

In any case, thank you very much for your time and your detailed answers! 😀
