I would like to make helmets for my Heartlings of HeimVille.

Is there a way to make the helmets work yet?  
Please let me know! (=

Some of my fan artwork inspired by Lord Of The Rings.

As Tom has said before, hats are possible, but the issue is the fact that, for every hair/head variation, they’d have to make a helmet. Unless, of course, it’s the face-covering kind.

see, that confuses me… couldn’t they just have the hair be “removed” when the helmet is attached to the head? and with hats, depending on the type, couldn’t they have them sit on top of the hair?

or did i totally misunderstand what you just said and how this works…

Will anyone make a hobbit house with my slabs with terrain colors mod? 😕

Though I must admit it would look quite different if it’s made with square shapes 😅

Thank you! 😃

I tried to find some news on it, but that explains it then ^^

‘The Hobbit’ book is my favorite (not the movies though)  
But the LoTR movie adaptation is really great!  
The White City of Gondor, the outfit designs of the armors, rangers and the citadel guards got me hooked!

I second that, -a round door would be great! ^^

Yeah, that could be tricky…  
I agree, -with short helms, it looks best if some of the hair shows.  
With full helmets, if possible, the hair could be removed as @8BitCrab suggested.

Thanks!!

StoneVoxe is simple, but i am a rookie when it comes to json / java coding.  
I get around, but that’s about it.  
Got the armor, mithril ingot and a sword to work in-game, with the help from Moai’s crash course in  
adding armors.

I’ve gained some courage now from all the likes and positive feedback you have given, so I’ll start a new thread for my “Gondorian Armory” mod (=
