1.18.2 Armor Resource Pack

[kindred glade]

I'd like to make an armor resource pack using custom models for 1.18.2. How would I go about this and is this possible?

The armor model when worn on players/entities cannot be remodeled in vanilla Java edition, only retextured. Pumpkins and other items set on a player's head can be remodeled for custom hats, but won't display if set on feet/legs/torso.
(Any item can be put on the players head via the /item replace command (aka /replaceitem before 1.18), or ofc via mod or plugin methods).
Furthermore, with this pack you can give a large set of specific leather armor colors a unique texture without interfering with the colors available in a normal survival situation: https://github.com/Ancientkingg/fancyPants

With Optifine it is possible to add texture variants on any armor pieces depending on the name, damage and other nbt, but remodelling is also not possible with it.
