How to make a custom slot for your armor in inventory?

You shouldn't try to reinvent this.

You should use an existing mod that provides an api for this that encourages mod compatibility, e.g.

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/curios

why not?

Because if every mod tried to do their own thing on this, they would all conflict and none would work when used together.

my mod is not supposed to be used with others, so this problem cannot arise

Even so, what is the advantage of making your own slot, deliberately stopping players using your mod with loads of other mods, and having to write the code (which is already written in the other mod) yourself?
