This resource pack is the backported version from NagiTheBurgermuncher's work, which makes unique 3D models for every armor in the game!
Why is there a backport?
Since the original work uses features from 1.21.6 that don't exist in the previous version, the models did not work correctly. Also, HMI was required, which made it only available for Fabric. This dependency has been removed.
What dependencies does it have?
In order to work properly, the following dependencies will be installed:
CIT Resewn: Version 1.2.2 version for 1.21.EMFandETF: For the correct display of the armors.
If you are using NeoForge, the following will be installed too:
CITResewnNeoPatcher.Sinytra Connector.Forgified Fabric API.
Now with support for Punchy! too!
Are there differences with the original?
The only difference due to a limitation with early 1.21 is that every item will have only one model, so all armors also look 3D on the menus, item frames, etc. In the original work, you'll see the armors only look 3D in hand but everywhere else they are 2D. I also added a slightly different color tone and animation for the enchanted armor when worn.
Note: Armors from future versions that come from backports like the copper armor or the netherite horse armor will still work, as long as they have the original minecraft ID. For example, the armors on the Copper Age Backport work correctly.
Anyway, enjoy the resource pack and make sure to check out the original work! Just 3D Armors
