overriding vanilla armor recipes

[halp]

I tried following the advice in this thread, and it does work for the wooden pickaxe example they give, but I can't disable a lot of the armor recipes this way. As an example, here is my json for the iron chestplate (it's in data/mymodid):

{
  "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped",
  "pattern": [
    "X X",
    "XXX",
    "XXX"
  ],
  "key": {
    "X": {
      "tag": "forge:ingots/iron"
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "item": "minecraft:air"
  }
}

Some of the armor pieces work just fine, but this one doesn't work.
I've also tried

{
  "type": "minecraft:crafting_shaped",
  "pattern": [
    "X X",
    "XXX",
    "XXX"
  ],
  "key": {
    "X": {
      "item": "minecraft:iron_ingot"
    }
  },
  "result": {
    "item": "minecraft:air"
  }
}

I've also tried both of them at once. I also tried

/datapack disable "mod:forge"

that also had no effect.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Here is a list of the items that I can override:
iron helmet

iron boots

golden chestplate

golden helmet

diamond leggings

diamond boots

diamond helmet

which leaves the ones that don't work:

iron chestplate

iron leggings

golden boots

golden leggings

diamond chestplate

 

Attached are the jsons I'm using.

 

 

chainmail_boots.json chainmail_chestplate.json chainmail_helmet.json chainmail_leggings.json diamond_boots_forge.json diamond_boots_vanilla.json diamond_chestplate_forge.json diamond_chestplate_vanilla.json diamond_helmet_forge.json diamond_helmet_vanilla.json diamond_leggings_forge.json diamond_leggings_vanilla.json golden_boots_forge.json golden_boots_vanilla.json golden_chestplate_forge.json golden_chestplate_vanilla.json golden_helmet_forge.json golden_helmet_vanilla.json golden_leggings_forge.json golden_leggings_vanilla.json iron_boots_forge.json iron_boots_vanilla.json iron_chestplate_forge.json iron_helmet_forge.json iron_helmet_vanilla.json iron_leggings_forge.json iron_leggings_vanilla.json leather_boots_forge.json leather_boots_vanilla.json leather_chestplate_forge.json leather_chestplate_vanilla.json leather_helmet_forge.json leather_helmet_vanilla.json leather_leggings_forge.json leather_leggings_vanilla.json netherite_boots.json netherite_chestplate.json netherite_helmet.json netherite_leggings.json wooden_pickaxe_forge.json

I forgot leather; boots and helmet work, chestplate and leggings don't.

Sorry, but I am not looking through 30 JSONs like that. Please post a Git repo so this can be properly debugged.

Why did you remove the .gitignore file that comes with the MDK? Your repository is huge now because you included the build and run folder for no reason.

You are putting the JSON files in your data directory, meaning they do not override the vanilla ones... I am not really sure what else you expected.

[halp]

where do I put them instead?

I figured it out, never mind. I moved the files ending it _forge into data/forge/recipes and the ones ending in _vanilla into minecraft/data/recipes, that did the trick. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

You have to have them in the exact same location if you want them to override something.
