How to create a custom AzDefaultArmorBoneProvider

In some cases, you may want to use custom-named bones or restructure the mappings used by your armor models. The default implementation of AzDefaultArmorBoneProvider assumes specific bone names (e.g., armorHead, armorBody). However, if your model uses different bone names, such as renamedLeftBoot, you must create a custom provider to override the default behavior.

Below is an example of a custom armor bone provider:

public class ExampeArmorBoneProvider extends AzDefaultArmorBoneProvider {

    @Override
    public AzBone getLeftBootBone(AzBakedModel model) {
        return model.getBone("renamedLeftBoot").orElse(null);
    }

    @Override
    public AzBone getLeftLegBone(AzBakedModel model) {
        return model.getBone("renamedLeftLeg").orElse(null);
    }

    @Override
    public AzBone getRightBootBone(AzBakedModel model) {
        return model.getBone("renamedRightBoot").orElse(null);
    }

    @Override
    public AzBone getRightLegBone(AzBakedModel model) {
        return model.getBone("renamedRightLeg").orElse(null);
    }
}

How to register your custom AzDefaultArmorBoneProvider

In your Armors renderer class, simply call setBoneProvider in your AzArmorRendererConfig builder.

Achtung!

For 1.20.1 and below use, new ResourceLocation() instead of ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath()

Example:

public class ExampleArmorRenderer extends AzArmorRenderer {

    private static final ResourceLocation MODEL = ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(
        YOUR_MOD_ID, "geo/armor/examplearmor.geo.json"
    );
    private static final ResourceLocation TEXTURE = ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(
        YOUR_MOD_ID, "textures/armor/examplearmor.png"
    );

    public ExampleArmorRenderer() {
        super(
            AzArmorRendererConfig.builder(MODEL, TEXTURE)
                .setBoneProvider(new CustomArmorBoneProvider()) // Bone provider for skeleton animations
                .build()
        );
    }
}
