Fix Helmets That Still Look Normal

If you activated the pack but your helmets still look vanilla, work through these checks in order.

Quick checks

1. Is the pack actually active? Open the resource pack screen and confirm it sits in the active or selected list, not just the available list.

2. Are you looking from the right view? You can't see your own helmet in first-person view. Press F5 to switch to third person, or put the helmet on an armor stand.

3. Is it a covered helmet? The pack is described as covering helmets from diamond and netherite to turtle. Test with one of these first.

4. **Did the textures reload? If needed, turn the pack off and back on again.

Deeper fixes

• Another pack is overriding it. Move Baby Chicken Helmet Texture Pack to the top of the active list, or temporarily turn off other packs to test.
• The pack is in the wrong place. Make sure the pack file sits directly in your resourcepacks folder and not inside an extra folder. Then reopen the resource pack screen.
• Shaders are involved. If you use shaders through a loader such as Iris or OptiFine, briefly turn them off. This tells you whether the problem comes from the pack or from the shader setup.
• Multiplayer confusion. Other players only see chick helmets if they have the pack active on their own game.
