Hey, I'm making custom armor for my mod and I can't get my armor to render on the player. Here is my code:

 

EnerginiumArmorHelmet.java:

}
@Override

}

 

 

energinium_layer_1.png is in src/main/resources/assets/troncraft/textures/armor

 

Any ideas?

Not too familiar with armor, but there has to be more than just one class (registration, rendering, etc...). Does it render with null texture or not at all? Could you post these classes and a log in case there are any errors that could lead to a solution?

I figured it out. So, for getArmorTexture() to get called, the armor must extend ItemArmor, not just Item. I was using Item because I didn't want to use an armor material, but in the end I just made a dummy material for the armor and now it's displaying!
