Just like other items, armor have a texture for when it is held or in your inventory, but also a texture for when a player equips it. Oraxen comes with three ways to add custom armor: COMPONENTS, TRIMS & SHADERS. COMPONENTS is for all 1.21.2+ servers and is the optimal choice for all supported servers. TRIMS is designed around the Armor-Trim system added in Minecraft 1.20, and will not work on earlier versions. SHADERS utilizes core-shaders, which were added in 1.17 (Disabled for all 1.21.2+ servers)
Component method is recommended for all servers 1.21.2+ in every scenario. There is no benefit to using Trims or Shader-methods for these servers.
Armor-Trim method is recommended if your server is 1.20-1.21.1 and only allows 1.20+ players. It has the benefit of not breaking with shaders / requiring extra mods to work. It also is not locked to only LEATHER armor-materials, by default using CHAINMAIL.
Core-Shader method is recommended if your server is below 1.20 or allow players on older versions. Compared to armor-trims this method breaks with shaders in Optifine & Iris mods. To fix this Oraxen generates CIT-textures into the pack. This works out-of-the-box with Optifine, but players using Iris will also need .
