Hi guys!

I was wondering how to change the armor item and model textures for the standard diamond armor in minecraft. If of course, it is possible. I don't have any code to work with, this is just a theoretical question because i'm looking at implementing it in the future.

I think that if you're just changing the texture you don't need to make a mod at all.  Minecraft textures are kept in accessible folders and you can just replace the assets with your own without any coding.  Look up how to make a texture pack (also called resource pack).

You mention Model.  Do you want a custom model for the armor?

Yea.. I wanted to make it part of the mod i'm working on to change the item and model textures... not per say the model shape

does no one know?

jabelar gave you the answer

You could make a resource pack as jabelar said.. or if you neccessary have to code it in just make a new armor which got same stats and uses your textures then remove the vanilla recipe and replace with recipe for your item.

Okay! Thank you all for the help! I'm gonna try this out
