Armor texture files need to…

Armor texture files need to end in 'layer_1.png' or 'layer_2.png' and they are separated into two different files. layer 1 for chestplate, helmet and boots, and layer 2 for leggings. The layer_1 or layer_2 is commonly overlooked but vital. (.png is an image file type, and likely what file type your armor texture is using, but the layer_1 and layer_2 are the weird parts, but Minecraft, and therefore MCreator, treats armor texture files weirdly.)
