[SOLVED, 1.16] Render custom elytra

[KidKoderMod033109]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a custom Elytra item, I have extended ElytraItem and registered the item, but I can't figure out how to render it/Get it to go in the chestplate shot.

Thanks in advance,

Kid Koder

Rendering and the chestplate slot both are specified explicitly to the Elytra object and no other. If you want to get around that, you would need to register your own layer on the player and override IForgeItem#getEquipmentSlot with the slot you want the eltyra to go in.

override IForgeItem#getEquipmentSlot

How would I go about doing that? Here is my code: 

public class NetheriteElytraArmor extends ArmorItem {

    public NetheriteElytraArmor(IArmorMaterial materialIn, EquipmentSlotType slot, Properties p_i48534_3_) {
        super(materialIn, slot, p_i48534_3_);
    }
    
}

You override the method? Even though if you're extending ArmorItem the only thing you need to do is specify the slot given in the constructor.

As for the rendering, look at ElytraLayer for your base line and then apply for each skin map in the EntityRendererManager.

Ok. How would that work?

[ChampionAsh5357]

Get the PlayerRenderer for the default and slim skin maps and then call addLayer for both of them.

I still don't understand where to put this, is there anywhere where I could find an example

I think I found, I'm now putting together the texture

Great! Got it to work. Now I just have to add the flight ability
