# Armor textures CIT
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Optifine** is **not officially supported** by **ItemsAdder**, but if you want to get more customization you can read these tutorials.
**Please don't ask support about Optifine features. Thanks!**

## Custom textured armors on 1.16 and lower
If you want to add a custom texture and not just a custom color to armors you can use **Optifine**.
{% hint style="info" %}
This is an old method for clients with version 1.16 and lower.\
The [new method for 1.17+](https://itemsadder.devs.beer/japanese/plugin-usage/adding-content/armors-old/textured-armor) don't need **Optifine** for this.

## Custom textured armor

### Step 1
Create your **custom namespace** (if you didn't already), follow[ this tutorial](https://github.com/LoneDev6/Wiki-ItemsAdder/blob/japanese/plugin-usage/adding-content/optifine-only-features/broken-reference/README.md).\
In this tutorial **my namespace** is named `mystuff`
### Step 2
Create **custom textures** for the **inventory items**. I put them in the folder: `contents/mystuff/resourcepack/mystuff/textures/item/example_1`
### Step 3
Create **custom textures** for **on-body armor**. You can get an example here:
{% file src="" %}
**Edit** the **textures** as you wish (use Paint.NET, Photoshop, GIMP or similar programs) and **save** them as `layer_1.png` and `layer_2.png`
### Step 4
Create the `optifine` folder, this is where we want to put out **custom textures** for the **worn armor**: `contents/mystuff/resourcepack/minecraft/optifine/`
{% hint style="warning" %}
You **must create** it under the folder `minecraft`, sadly you **cannot** create the `optifine` folder inside your **namespace** folder (in this case `mystuff`).\
It's an **Optifine limitation**.
{% endhint %}
### Step 5
Now save the **previously created on-body** textures (`layer_1.png` and `layer_2.png` ) inside this folder: `contents/mystuff/resourcepack/minecraft/optifine/cit/mystuff/armors/example_1/entity/`
So you have this:
### Step 6
**Create** these files: `boots.properties`, `chestplate.properties`, `helmet.properties`, `leggings.properties` inside `contents/mystuff/resourcepack/minecraft/optifine/cit/mystuff/armors/example_1/entity/`
Each of the files must contain this:
```elixir
nbt.itemsadder.namespace=mystuff
nbt.itemsadder.id=example_chestplate_1
type=armor
items=diamond_chestplate
texture.diamond_layer_1=layer_1
texture.diamond_layer_2=layer_2
```
For each of the `.properties` files you have to **change** the **1th** line setting **your namespace** instead of "mystuff", the **2nd line** to your **item id** and the **5th line** to the **item type** (`diamond_leggings` , `diamond_boots` ....)
Now you should have this:
### Step 7
**Create** a **file** to contain this custom armor, to better organize it. Name it **example\_1.yml** and **place it** inside your namespace, in this example: `contents/mystuff/configs/example_1.yml`
### Step 8
**Add content** to the `.yml` file. As you can see I decided to base my items on the Minecraft DIAMOND armor and I didn't specify any color because I don't need to color it, Optifine will apply a texture to it.
```yaml
info:
namespace: mystuff
items:
example_helmet_1:
display_name: Example
permission: example_helmet_1
resource:
generate: true
material: DIAMOND_HELMET
textures:
- item/example_1/helmet.png
durability:
max_custom_durability: 275
specific_properties:
armor:
slot: head
attribute_modifiers:
head:
armor: 9
armorToughness: 1
example_chestplate_1:
display_name: Example
permission: example_chestplate_1
resource:
generate: true
material: DIAMOND_CHESTPLATE
textures:
- item/example_1/chestplate.png
durability:
max_custom_durability: 400
specific_properties:
armor:
slot: chest
attribute_modifiers:
chest:
armor: 7
armorToughness: 1
example_leggings_1:
display_name: Example
permission: example_leggings_1
resource:
generate: true
material: DIAMOND_LEGGINGS
textures:
- item/example_1/leggings.png
durability:
max_custom_durability: 375
specific_properties:
armor:
slot: legs
attribute_modifiers:
legs:
armor: 5
armorToughness: 1
example_boots_1:
display_name: Example
permission: example_boots_1
resource:
generate: true
material: DIAMOND_BOOTS
textures:
- item/example_1/boots.png
durability:
max_custom_durability: 325
specific_properties:
armor:
slot: feet
attribute_modifiers:
feet:
armor: 3
armorToughness: 1
```
## Done!
## Notes:
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you will **create another namespace** which contains **other armors** it's **highly advised** to **maintain** the **same structure** as I did in the tutorial to **avoid mistakes**.
\
For example if you create a new namespace named `space_armors` you will have this **Optifine** folder: `contents/mystuff/resourcepack/minecraft/optifine/cit/space_armors/armors`
