Christ, almost all this code is useless...

On top of that, this line:

https://github.com/iSyriux2/BLBLBLLBLB/blob/master/src/main/java/com/isyriux/divinerod/DivineRodMod.java#L43

Does the same thing as all of these put together:

https://github.com/iSyriux2/BLBLBLLBLB/blob/master/src/main/java/com/isyriux/divinerod/DivineRodMod.java#L33-L40

 

Pick an event registration method and stick with it.

You even went with a different, third option, here:

https://github.com/iSyriux2/BLBLBLLBLB/blob/master/src/main/java/com/isyriux/divinerod/DivineRodMod.java#L80

 

And another, fourth option, here:

https://github.com/iSyriux2/BLBLBLLBLB/blob/master/src/main/java/com/isyriux/divinerod/util/registhandler.java#L23

 

And then here:

https://github.com/iSyriux2/BLBLBLLBLB/blob/master/src/main/java/com/isyriux/divinerod/armour/PowerReenforcedArmourItem.java#L18

Don't return null.

[iSyriux]

What does having different lines of code doing the same thing have to do with the armour not rendering correctly?

Also, what do I return instead of null?

...something that isn't null!?

Nothing, its just completely useless redundant code that makes it clear that you have no idea what the fuck you're doing.

[iSyriux]

Well, I can't just do 

return;

 

[Draco18s]

Obviously. The method expects something to be returned. It even tells you what it expects.

And you're not giving it that thing.

[iSyriux]

Alright, I just made a read on a java manual

 

And it shows a code example of it returning the thing in the arrow brackets, however it seems to be showing an error.

[Danebi]

Do you know java? You have to return your armor model.

[Draco18s]

That's not how generics work.

This works:

public List<Article> {
  return articles;
}

because of this (not shown):

private List<Article> articles = new List<Article>();

Not because this:

public List<FooBar> {
  return foobar; //return "foobar" because FooBar is inside <>!
}

The "thing inside the angle brackets" is a generic. List<T> is a list of things that are Type T. What is T? Whatever you want it to be.
<A extends ModelBiped> is a Type A (and extends ModelBiped). You need to return some object that is of Type A.

[iSyriux]

Ah, I see. I've returned _default and it doesn't give an error anymore. However, the model is still not rendering correctly.

Well...of course not, the default chestplate model doesn't have the layer you want to add.

[iSyriux]

So how do you add the layer?

Have you done this?

[iSyriux]

If I return my armour model it gives an error, so the only thing I can return is _default

Show the method after you return your armor model and the class of the model.

[iSyriux]

@Draco18sCan you reiterate? I don't know what is type A. I Apologise if my questions seem redundant or moronic, I am quite new to minecraft modding.

@Danebi  I have all my code in the github link above.

This is basic Java.

 

[iSyriux]

Actually basic coding. I didn't realise Method was another name for function

[iSyriux]

I don't have anything after the return of the armour model

 

 

[Danebi]

You are returning the default model. You should return a class that extends BipedModel.

It's a generic type. The code tells you what matches it.

<A extends ModelBiped>

[iSyriux]

Okay, so I traced the method back to pauldronarmouritem.java and found that 

BipedModel extended Living Entity, but when I return it it gives an error
