# Minimal Armor (Less Obtrusive Armor) covers less of your character’s design.<\/p>\n
**Now supporting minimal trims, helmets, and elytra!**<\/p>\n
This pack changes **iron, gold, diamond, netherite, leather, and chainmail armor** textures so that the player’s skin won’t be nearly as obstructed by the armor. The armor is meant to still be visible so that in for example a PVP situation it is still easily understood how much armor is being worn by the other person.<\/p>\n
**Elytra** has also been changed to be more minimal, while still retaining some of the original feel.<\/p>\n
The biggest addition in this update is that all *armor trims* have been accounted for! They don’t all retain everything special about them (especially cool designs you’d find on the chestplate) but they all retain as much of the trimmed look as I was able to without adding too much more surface to the armor. <\/p>\n
I also made all the helmets into armor going around the neck, with varying levels of fancy and frill to match the different armor types. I left the leather cap as a cap for now \u2014 That one doesn’t come up as often in survival, and if you want to dye it, you’d probably want to see it better.<\/p>\n
I also didn’t change the Turtle Helmet, cuz I like it, it’s just a fun turtle hat. <\/p>\n
Thanks so much for downloading this pack! I hope you enjoy it! <\/p>\n
I was super surprised to see some YouTubers I’ve followed for years like MumboJumbo and Grian using this pack, and after I saw more of the community asking about when it’d be updated, I finally had the motivation (and time) to get around to updating it\u2014Thanks so much for your excitement and support!<\/p>\n
If you want to support me, I could use all the follows and subscribers I can get!
\nI’ve recently started a YouTube and a Twitch channel, and it would help me out a ton if you dropped followed or subscribed there! You can also learn more at my Discord or on my website.<\/p>\n
**I’d love if you could credit me too if you use this texture pack in videos!**<\/p>\n
If you like things like this that subtly improving vanilla minecraft, you might like some of my other packs, including more enjoyable weather with Better Rain and Snow. Also, if you haven’t heard of vanillatweaks.net it has a lot of resources that try to do the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
