[Solved] Blocks equipable on head like pumpkins [1.10.2]

[Dion6103]

I am currently working on a mod where I want to have a block able to be placed and equipped in the helmet slot like a pumpkin would. I have been looking at the code of a pumpkin and have found nothing. So far, I have a working block, it's model including it being placed and worn on the head. 

 

How would I make it so that I can put a block onto my head without having to use commands?

 

Picture of the block placed and being worn on my head using the command ./replaceitem entity @p slot.armor.head modid:blockmagichat (Still need to know how to get it equipable normally) :

You're not going to make this work. Sorry!

 

Here's the code that handles whether or not the player can wear a pumpkin:

public static EntityEquipmentSlot getSlotForItemStack(ItemStack stack)
    {
        if (stack.getItem() != Item.getItemFromBlock(Blocks.PUMPKIN) && stack.getItem() != Items.SKULL)
        {
            if (stack.getItem() instanceof ItemArmor)
            {
                return ((ItemArmor)stack.getItem()).armorType;
            }
            else if (stack.getItem() == Items.ELYTRA)
            {
                return EntityEquipmentSlot.CHEST;
            }
            else
            {
                return stack.getItem().isShield(stack, null) ? EntityEquipmentSlot.OFFHAND : EntityEquipmentSlot.MAINHAND;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            return EntityEquipmentSlot.HEAD;
        }
    }

Which is in EntityLiving.class

 

You'll have to instead create an item that is a subclass  ItemArmor, that when right clicked, creates your block in the world (think about how Cake works, or Seeds). Your hat-block would then not have an accompanying ItemBlock, and would instead drop the hat armor when broken.

Make a custom ItemBlock for your block and override isValidArmor.

I did this and it half worked. Is there a way to make it so that It can only be equipped in one slot, in this case the head slot? 

 

P.S. Sorry if I am being a noob and this is some basic Java thing that I haven't encountered yet

Item#isValidArmor receives the EntityEquipmentSlot that's being checked as an argument, only return true if it's EntityEquipmentSlot.HEAD.

Thanks a bunch! (Don't know why I didn't think of this before.... XD)

For anyone looking for the answer in the future, this is what I did.
In your ItemBlock class I put: 

@Override
	public boolean isValidArmor(ItemStack stack, EntityEquipmentSlot armorType, Entity entity) {
		if(armorType == EntityEquipmentSlot.HEAD) {
			return true;
		}else {
			return false;
		}
	}

(Change EntityEquipmentSlot.HEAD to the respective armor piece or just return true if you want it to equip in all slots.
