About
The gemstone gauntlet usually looks quite odd since it's a textured player head, so it's held in a way that doesn't look like you're actually wearing it.
This resource pack fixes that - it repositions the gauntlet to appear as if it's over the player's hand, both in first and third person:
This pack uses a weight of 100 for the repositioned gemstone gauntlet, meaning it should override (only the gauntlet) any other pack you have active, regardless of the pack order (unless one of those has a higher weight for it).
