title: Adding Custom Models to Armor in Minecraft?
body: <p>I've recently gotten into modding Minecraft and thought that my first released mod may be something that provides wings with the functionality of those from Terraria (Hold space to fly up for a limited time after which you can't fly up until you touch the ground. At this time the wings, instead, provide a slow fall).</p>
  
  <p>So far I've added the items, recipes, etc. I've decided to use and I have my first set of wings as an armour, however, as I have not set a texture they show up as the pink / black checkers. What I actually want is for there to be a different model used- the custom one I made for the wings known as <code>Resting.java</code> but change to <code>Flying.java</code> whilst in the air.</p>
  
  <p>My problem here is that I don't know how to get rid of the default armour model and use my one. Also I'd like to be able to actually add functionality (the flying, gliding, etc.) which I don't know how to do but I'll save that for another question.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you need me to post any of my code, just say so. I don't know what would be needed. </p>
  
  <p>I'm currently editing Minecraft Version 1.6.4 using the latest release of Forge.</p>
