instead of adding all 4 armor pieces, i only wanted the boots. that's why i only added the boots texture in the layer.png, but that didn't work so i added the leggings with it and it used the leggings instead of the boots and i have no idea why

 

iteminit:

			public static final RegistryObject<ArmorItem> lIGHTNING_BOOTS = ITEMS.register("lightning_boots",
		            () -> new ArmorItem(ArmorMaterialsInit.LIGHTNING_BOOTS, EquipmentSlot.FEET,
		                    new Item.Properties().tab(Electrified.ELECTRIFIED_TAB)));

Are you sure the boots texture is at the correct position in the texture file?

Please post the texture you used and a in game screenshot how it currently looks like.

how do i send a screenshot......

You can use https://imgur.com/ for images.

removing the leggings from the texture just becomes the 'texture missing' texture

You need to put the boots texture into layer 1.

it became weirder

 

maybe it has to do with me adding a helmet? also changing it from layer 2 to layer 1 didn't change anything so now i think it's using something of the helmet

No the textures do not have the correct positions inside the textures.
Take a look at the vanilla armor layer textures.

that worked, thx

i was using a texture from someone else as a template but apparently he had it wrong which meaned mine broke as well
