[Help][1.6.4] Adding more armor/health bars and changing vanilla armor/tools.

[Jam]

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've modded minecraft and I want to get back into it as a hobby. I was wondering how I'd go about overwriting minecrafts vanilla settings on armour and tools. Basically, add some armour bars/health bars, add new tool levels and change the stats on the pre existing sets to tools and armor. My answer might be answered by looking at the libraries but I can't access my workspace at the moment so if anyone knows off the top of their head, that'd be awesome.

This could be a crazy easy thing to do but it'd be great if anyone could help, thanks!

Basically, you're going to need to overwrite the item in the Item.itemsList array with your new item.

Considering most of the tool data are held into Enum, they are a pain to edit. But it is doable. You can use EnumHelper to help you with that.

You may also want to look at MinecraftForge#setToolHarvestLevel(args) and the like.

As for how to modify the HUD armor/health bar, you can intercept the RenderGameOverlayEvent and return event.setCanceled(true) for event.type.equals(ElementType.Armor) and event.type.equals(ElementType.Health). Then you can render whatever the hell you want for an armor bars and health bars.
