Blocks on head with helmet

So I have 2 teams and I want the teams to have their respective wool color on their head but at the same time I need them to have the helmet(armor) on their head also. Does anyone know a way around that? Anything helps

 

@Atoxz58 LeatherArmorMeta i think. You can color leather armor with this.

 

could you use

Code:

e.getPlayer().getInventory().setHelmet(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_HELMET));

and then change the iron helmet to something else?

 

I tried that and it actually just changes it back

But I want to have blocks on their head with iron armor.

oooh you want to have both... sorry, don't know how to do that... but can't you just use leather armor with a color and as many protection, so it's as strong as iron armor?

 

I want the blocks on their head but that is a good last resort I didn't even think about that. Thanks

 

You could give them a resistance effect to compensate for the helmet or give protection as mentioned by @HenkDeKipGaming . Then just give them some wool on their head

 

This is another viable solution but I've seen it before to where it had the armor and also had the block and there was an option to toggle seeing the blocks on the peoples head and i'd like to have something like that.

 

@Atoxz58 Best way would probably be to listen to the relevant damage event, and then adjust the modification to compensate for the lack of helmet.

 

If you are on 1.8 (in which case.. why are you here, lol) you could mount an armor stand on them, and then put the block on the armor stand's head.

I suppose the same thing *might* work with an invis zombie, though I haven't tried putting blocks on them.
