As for CNPC integration, feel free to jump in on the the GitHub issue regarding it.

As for vanity slot access, I agree that there should be a command to access them in the same way vanilla armor slots can be accessed. I'll be sure to add that at some point. Thanks for the idea to do so. :)

I hadn't heard of it, no. It appears to have quite an expansive feature set, by the looks.

As for the rest of what you said; most -- if not all -- of those points seem doable. As things stand now, unsurprisingly, I've coded everything to do with chiseled armor strictly assuming that it is armor; but there is nothing, in principle, that would prevent the core of it from being used by other items.

Here's what I'm thinking: I might try to add a forth kind of chiseled item (aside from the 4 armor ones) that would be entirely generic, and would do nothing on its own. The means of setting it's data in-world and in-gui would be the same. But I could then do the following:

1. Add the means of mapping any of those generic chiseled items to sets of any other items in the game. If any held item matched (by item and optionally meta and/or NBT) a chiseled item, it would render that chiseled item as if it were the held item.
2. For items more complex than shields, sword, shovels, etc., like bows (which require multiple render stages and the rendering of arrows), add a dedicated version of that item, which could have multiple chiseled items/blocks stored in its NBT (three items, in the case of a bow, as well as arrow placement data for each stage).
3. Add a block (or perhaps by some other means -- adding a capability to a preexisting tile entity, perhaps) that stores chiseled items/blocks and renders them with user-specified translation/rotation offsets.

These are just ideas, and all this (as well as the other things you mentioned) would certainly take a lot of time and refactoring to implement. I make no promises about any of this, but I'll definitely give it a go.

As of right now, all I've implemented is one of the two things you mentioned previously: namely, I've hooked into the vanilla /replaceitem command and modified it to set the contents of the vanity slots (its tab completions are modified accordingly). I should probably look into CustomNPC integration next.

In reply to Cinamon:

Chiseled armor renders the same when worn in a vanity slot as it does when worn normally (it just doesn't take up a normal slot, allowing you to wear both it and normal armor). See the 'Vanity Slots' section of the 'Chiseled Armor' link below and above.

In reply to bananabotz72:

The 'Chiseled Armor' link above (and again here) should be helpful.

In short, you set an area in the world that represents a body part at a given scale, sculpt a model around/in it, and then draw a box around part/all of the blocks of the model you created to import copies of those blocks into an armor piece's moving part.

There is now a tutorial video on this overview page.

Glad you like it. :)

I'm not sure what you mean.

In reply to darkskull88:

Well, I'm not adding a separate item just for that, but I did just add in the latest release (v3.2.0 for MC1.12) the ability to throw bits from Bit Bags. It has a separate keybind, but with the same default value (R).

By default (configurable via config), the velocity of bits thrown from a Bit Bag are significantly lower and the inaccuracy is significantly higher than bits thrown normally, so it's akin to tossing from a bucket.

Bits are randomly selected from the slots of a Bit Bag by default, but it can be set to systematically move from the first slot to the last, or vice versa.
