[1.8.9]Is there a ModelArmor?

[Spyeedy]

Is there a ModelArmor? If not, then how do Minecraft render the armor bigger than the player?

[Choonster]

Minecraft uses

LayerBipedArmor

to render armour on bipeds. This uses a pair of

ModelBiped

s (one for the legs, one for the other pieces) with a larger scale than the entity's model.

 

To use a custom model for your armour, override

Item#getArmorModel

.

Ah, so that's how they do it, smart, so the armors are basically a layered armor above the player's skin but a larger scale than the player, fascinating. Thanks Choonster
