Bingo, that solved it. Thank you.

I realize that seems like a simple answer, but the texture exists in debug and in the compiled jar as you can see from this pic of the archive contents. https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/Re2PfGerAYQ0a1D6HFeqOQiDpYrzuS2-fc6lOa1UvIM So, the textures do exist..

Yes there is an IO error in the log.

What do you mean by "normal version"? There are no errors while running the code in eclipse, it works as expected. In the build (compiled) version you will notice in the screen shot the color of the armor is correct but its not rendering like it does in debug. Bizarre.

public class ItemMorganiteArmor extends ItemArmor { private final String piecename; public ItemMorganiteArmor (ArmorMaterial material, int armorType, String name) { super(material, 0, armorType); this.piecename = name; //register new item GameRegistry.registerItem(this, name); setUnlocalizedName(MyMod.MODID + "_" + name); } public String getName() { return piecename; } public String getArmorTexture( ItemStack stack, Entity entity, int slot, String type) { if (stack.getItem() == MyMod.morganite_helmet || stack.getItem() == MyMod.morganite_chestplate || stack.getItem() == MyMod.morganite_boots) { return MyMod.MODID + ":/textures/models/armor/morganite_layer_1.png"; } else if(stack.getItem() == MyMod.morganite_leggings) { return MyMod.MODID + ":/textures/models/armor/morganite_layer_2.png"; } else { System.out.println("Invalid Item"); return null; } } }

I have a mod with a custom armor material and it behaves as expected in debug mode however when I build the mod via ./gradlew build and deploy it to MC, the armor rendering is glitches. Has anyone experienced this in 1.8. I am using Forge build 1299.
