ElegantArmor

ElegantArmor

A complete redesign of every armor set. Delicate, adventurer-style pieces built from a leather harness and thin metal parts, with real 3D details on top of retextured armor, plus armor trims adapted to the design.

What changes

• Crown - a light crown with small spikes in relief replaces the helmet. Leather armor has no helmet decoration at all.
• Pauldrons - thin metal shoulder plates instead of a full chestplate.
• Harness - crossed leather straps on the chest and back, with a leather band under the chest and small rivets.
• Hip pouch - a small leather pouch held by a strap on the right thigh only.
• Sabatons - sleek low metal shoes with a thin leather ankle strap.

Armor trims

Trims are redrawn to fit the design: they only appear on the crown band, the pauldrons and the sabatons, never on the invisible parts of the armor. The patterns are simplified: the 18 vanilla patterns share 6 original motifs (lines, dots, chevrons, checks, double lines and diamonds), and every trim material uses its usual colors. Leather helmets do not display a trim.

Supported armors

Leather, chainmail, iron, gold, diamond, netherite and copper. Chainmail uses the same checkered mesh as the original. Leather armor can still be dyed: the metal parts take the dye color, while the straps stay leather brown.

Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 26.3
• Entity Model Features - required for the 3D details. Without it you only see the flat texture version.

Installation

1. Install Entity Model Features for your loader.
2. Put the pack in your resourcepacks folder and enable it.
3. Move it above any other pack that also changes armor (animation packs, etc.).

Notes

• The 3D parts apply to the player model (classic and slim). Armor worn by mobs only gets the new textures.
• Tested on 26.3 with Fabric and Entity Model Features 3.3.12. Other setups have not been tested.
• Trims are designed for the pieces listed above only; leggings show no trim.
