[1.8] custom armor model

[frenchtoaster10]

im trying to make some vanity items and wanted a custom model for them it will be a piece of armor but i want a custom model for it. how can i accomplish this?

[frenchtoaster10]

im taking bout the model that makes the armor is there a way to change it?

[frenchtoaster10]

the 3rd person view armor the physical model for the armor not the in inv/holding model

[frenchtoaster10]

ok ive found and overrode getArmorModel but once ive overrode it then what, how do i reference the model.json?

It is not Json model format. It is just normal Entity model format.

(Especially It is net.minecraft.client.model.ModelBiped, which is for player)

See the player model format.

Great, you did not answer my question. So again:

are you talking about the model when the player/entity is wearing the armor when looked at from 3rd person? Or are you talking about the item model?

 

There is an Item Model also for the armor? 

[Abastro]

Anyway, there is currently 2 model systems:

1. Json models, for blocks/items

2. Entity models for entities

Armor is special, since it is basically item but can be worn by entities.

 

So it has Json model as item,

and Entity model as armor worn by entity.

There is an Item Model also for the armor? 

Of course. Armor is a completely normal Item when being held in hand or dropped in the world.

 

 

Ohh ok, well I always called that a texture, I was thinking on a model, like when holding some custom render item/block.
