This is my first time programming anything and first time modding in Minecraft (as a warning). I've been following a beginners tutorial in order to learn the basics (adding blocks, tools, armour, etc.) and everything has worked perfectly. Except for my armour layer models. I took them out of the base game files and only changed the colour, and even just renamed the base ones without any other changes to test it, but still just a black and purple man when the armour goes on. Since I'm a noob I don't really know what files to upload, so if I'm missing anything please let me know and I'll get it up as soon as possible.
