I have an ItemBlock connected that's tied to a block and I want it to be wearable as a helmet (it's a mob skull) and I have the block fully working but when I put it on as a helmet it just uses the JSON model for the Item (a flat texture) instead of the armor model that I define in the ItemBlock class.

//In the itemblock class:
@Override
	public boolean isValidArmor(ItemStack stack, EntityEquipmentSlot armorType, Entity entity) {
		return armorType == EntityEquipmentSlot.HEAD;
	}

	@Override
	public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, EntityEquipmentSlot slot, String type)
	{
		return Ref.MOD_ID + ":textures/entites/hirschgeist.png";
	}

	@Override 	
	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
	public ModelBiped getArmorModel(EntityLivingBase entityLiving, ItemStack itemStack, EntityEquipmentSlot armorSlot,
			ModelBiped defaultModel) {
		return ClientProxy.helmetModel;
	}

//Client Proxy
public static final ModelHirschgeistSkullArmorPiece helmetModel = new ModelHirschgeistSkullArmorPiece(0.0625F);

//Block registry events

		/**
		 * Register this mod's {@link Block}s.
		 *
		 * @param event The event
		 */
		@SubscribeEvent
		public static void registerBlocks(final RegistryEvent.Register<Block> event) {
			final IForgeRegistry<Block> registry = event.getRegistry();

			final Block[] blocks = {
					trillium,
					hirschgeistskull,
			};

			registry.registerAll(blocks);

			GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(TileEntityTrillium.class, new ResourceLocation(Ref.MOD_ID + ":" + trillium.getRegistryName()));
			GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(TileEntityHirschgeistSkull.class, Ref.MOD_ID + ":" + hirschgeistskull.getRegistryName());
		}


		/**
		 * Register this mod's {@link ItemBlock}s.
		 *
		 * @param event The event
		 */
		@SubscribeEvent
		public static void registerItemBlocks(final RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event) {
			final ItemBlock[] items = {
					new ItemBlock(trillium),
					hirschgeistskull.getItemBlock(),
			};

			final IForgeRegistry<Item> registry = event.getRegistry();

			for (final ItemBlock item : items) {
				final Block block = item.getBlock();
				final ResourceLocation registryName = Preconditions.checkNotNull(block.getRegistryName(), "Block %s has null registry name", block);
				registry.register(item.setRegistryName(registryName));
				ITEM_BLOCKS.add(item);
			}
		}

 

How should I be registering the model?

The Block is a TE with a TESR and that's registered, but I'm not sure how I should register my model.

If I use ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation it's just the item texture on my head, not the java model. I put a print statement in getArmorModel and it doesn't seem like it's running.

By the way, getItemBlock(); returns a new instance of my ItemBlock class.

How dynamic is your block? Does it need a TESR or can it be rendered with a custom baked model? If it can be rendered with a custom model, do it this way for the block first, then work on the item model.

I cannot bake it, no.

Bump

 

Here's my code:

I made a seperate wearable item and a seperate placeable item instead of an ItemBlock with armor attributes.

 

Apparently minecraft requires it to extend ItemArmor for getArmorModel() to work.

A shame.

You could copy most of the code from ItemBlock and put it into your ItemArmor class

I could, but the Block Registry requires it to extend ItemBlock.

No forge registry requires you to have an item be an ItemBlock
