Better Helmets
Java resource pack listed for Minecraft 1.17–26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
Change the item texture of helmets to be more accurate compared to the model, and remove the overlay of leather armor
⬇ Download on ModrinthIt annoyed me how the helmet items look nothing like the model. So I made a pack to fix it
Features :
Netherite Helmet has been given a central stripe and consistent shading with other helmets
Turtle Helmet has been given its chin straps
Chainmail Helmet has been enhanced to show the chain pattern on the outline too
Leather Cap has been stripped of its overlay ( item and model ) for a nicer, cleaner look
The other metal helmets were tweaked to look a bit more like the model. There are at least 4 packs that did this using the same texture lol; but it was the best design I came up with, so I stuck with it even though the change is just 8 pixels
This pack was made for Visual Enchants resource pack, but I figured some may want just the item retexture
