Understand 3D Armor Model Changes and Appearance

What Changed Visually

Armored Legacy replaces flat, 2D vanilla armor textures with detailed 3D models. Your armor now has depth, layering, and dimensional details that make it look more substantial and intimidating. This applies to all vanilla armor types: Leather, Chain, Iron, Diamond, Gold, and Netherite.

Seeing the Difference

1. Equip any armor piece and view yourself in a mirror or reflective surface

2. Rotate your character to see the 3D geometry from different angles

3. Notice enhanced details like plating, straps, and contours

Compatibility Notes

The 3D models are purely visual and don't affect gameplay mechanics. Armor still provides the same protection values, enchantment slots, and durability as vanilla. The mod works with all vanilla armor variants and integrates seamlessly with trim effects and helmet swapping.

The enhanced appearance makes armor feel more rewarding to craft and wear, while maintaining complete vanilla balance.
