Working on my first cosmetic addon (possibly cancelled)

[acoustic summit]

This is just the first devlog on it, and I accept criticism and suggestions!
I won't be releasing it until a minimum of 30+ cosmetics

[teal forge]

make it just a texture pack

no behaviour packs

[acoustic summit]

Is there any way to?

I'm kinda new on this

[jovial condor]

Do you equip items like armor?

[teal forge]

just make a new model

add a trexture to that model

use a render controller to render it

and optionally an animation to tie it to the bone

I already see the game lagging out especially with 30+ items

[teal forge]

nope

it doesnt

i know that from experience

also no items needed LOL

[manic wren]

I guess i had better experience then

[acoustic summit]

Well yes, but their protection are very low

[jovial condor]

You should add some kind of upgrade to items so that players can use their armor defense or enchantments

In order not to sacrifice utility for aesthetics

[acoustic summit]

There's any way?

[jovial condor]

Maybe with crafting, smithing table or anvil, you would have to create a version of the item for each vanilla armor.

I might consider
