How to create custom armors without replacing existing stuff? |
0 |
Just like other items, armor have a texture for when it is held or in your inventory, but also a texture for when a player equips it.
Oraxen comes with three ways to add custom armor: COMPONENTS, TRIMS & SHADERS.
COMPONENTS is for all 1.21.2+ servers and is the optimal choice for all supported servers.
TRIMS is designed around the Armor-Trim system added in Minecraft 1.20, and will not work on earlier versions.
SHADERS utilizes core-shaders, which were added in 1.17 (Disabled for all 1.21.2+ servers)
Component method is recommended for all servers 1.21.2+ in every scenario.
There is no benefit to using Trims or Shader-methods for these servers.
Armor-Trim method is recommended if your server is 1.20-1.21.1 and only allows 1.20+ players.
It has the benefit of not breaking with shaders / requiring extra mods to work.
It also is not locked to only LEATHER armor-materials, by default using CHAINMAIL.
Core-Shader method is recommended if your server is below 1.20 or allow players on older versions.
Compared to armor-trims this method breaks with shaders in Optifine & Iris mods.
To fix this Oraxen generates CIT-textures into the pack.
This works out-of-the-box with Optifine, but players using Iris will also need CIT Resewn.
