@sdee explains how file() works when you leave out the .json file extension

@sdee

• Finally, if the path inside a file() statement ends with a folder, and not a file with an extension, it will automatically append a file of the similar name.json to the path. For example, file(/stuff) becomes /my_mod/stuff/stuff.json

So
file("entities/armor/armorname")
= file("entities/armor/armorname/armorname.json")
= "yourmod/entities/armor/armorname/armorname.json"
and
file("entities/armor/armorname/armorname")
= file("entities/armor/armorname/armorname/armorname.json")
="yourmod/entities/armor/armorname/armorname/armorname.json"

TBH, I’m not sure if I’m a fan of the shorthand form either because it invites confusion like this, but perhaps less clutter in the code is important too. Anyway I hope that clears up what’s going on.

Edit :just some formatting etc.
