Verify Resource Pack is Active

If your iron armor still looks like vanilla Minecraft, the resource pack may not be loaded:

1. Open your resource pack folder and confirm Eugene's Iron Knight Armor pack is present

2. In the resource pack menu, check that the pack appears in the "Selected" column (right side)

3. Ensure it's positioned above any conflicting packs in the load order

4. Close and reopen your world to apply changes

Check for Conflicting Packs

Other resource packs can override this one if they load after it. Review your entire pack list and disable any packs that also modify armor textures. Test with only this pack enabled to confirm it works.

Verify Correct Armor Type

Confirm you're wearing actual iron armor, not leather armor dyed to look similar. Check your inventory—iron armor displays as "Iron Helmet," "Iron Chestplate," etc. Leather armor won't show the knight textures regardless of dye color.
