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. 5 armor stands showcasing the retextured armors. From the left: leather, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite.

Armor trims

Every armor trim has been tweaked to fit with the retextured armor shapes. 5 rows and 19 columns of armor stands. From the bottom, each row is a different armor type: leather, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite. The leftmost column is the regular armor, then each of the remaining columns is a different one of the 18 armor trims. The bottom row with the leather armor has a rainbow sequence of dye colors instead of trims.

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. A 5x2 grid of inventory slots containing the five crown/helmet items (leather, gold, iron, diamond, and netherite) on the first row, and armor trim versions on the second row. The leather helmet is dyed red in the second row rather than having an armor trim.

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.
