3D Armor System Implementation

Legends Untold - 3D Armor System Implementation

We implemented a complete custom entity model renderer for **Legends Untold**, bringing full 3D armor support to the mod.

Key Updates

  • Implemented a JEM (JSON Entity Model) parser with Optifine schema compatibility for seamless model loading.
  • Added full 3D armor rendering support for all equipment slots: helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, and custom attachments (back items, weapon displays).
  • Created Mithril Armor as proof-of-concept using diamond armor textures and models as placeholder geometry.
  • Verified rendering pipeline works across all body parts: head, torso, arms, legs, and additional attachment points.
  • What's Next

  • Design and model the final Mithril Armor set with custom textures and geometry in Blockbench.
  • Create unique visual identity for Mithril equipment that fits the mod's fantasy aesthetic.
  • Implement additional armor sets using the new 3D rendering system.
  • The screenshot shows the current state with placeholder diamond armor geometry. Final Mithril Armor visuals coming soon!
