While I was on the middle earth metallurgy thread, AlatarOfGram mentioned having multiple textures for the same swords. I want to expand on this idea.

Each faction table can have an extra area on the crafting GUI which is empty until you put th items for a piece of faction equipment or put one into the grid. This Gui would show each texture that that Item can have. The items would have a different texture, and a different NBT tag, but would be exactly the same, and only the current default item would appear in the creative mode menu.

These would be useful for making Npcs look more varied, as well as giving more variety and customization for players. Some armor designs can show status similar to sheilds (see below)

Some ideas for extra textures for items are:

1. Dwarven helmets with face masks

2. Different styles of uruk helmets (beserker, sappers, and scouts have different helmets in the movies)

3. Chain, facemasked, and other designs for rohiric armor

4. Some designs with different markings, crests and signs of power can b unlocked in a similar fashion to sheilds.
