Unobstructive Armor

Unobstructive Armor

Unobstructive Armor retextures helmets, chestplates, leggings, and boots into crowns, shoulder pads, belts, and shorter boots so that less of players’ skins are hidden by armor while still keeping worn armor identifiable.

Armor types

Leather, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite armor have been retextured with the new shapes.

Armor trims

Every armor trim has been tweaked to fit with the retextured armor shapes.

Helmet items

The helmet items are retextured to represent their crown presentation instead. The other armor pieces haven’t been retextured because I found that they weren’t as easily recognisable as armor in the inventory.

Visible player skins

The majority of each player’s skin is visible while wearing full armor.

Note: My skin used in the screenshots and resource pack icon uses Ears to modify the chest. This resource pack only changes armor textures – it makes no modifications to player models or skins.

Similar packs

After creating this resource pack I discovered that another exists with a similar concept and name: Unobtrusive Armor. While I came to the same idea indepdenently, I want to acknowledge that I was not the first to implement this idea. Feel free to check out Unobtrusive Armor and see which resource pack you prefer.
