I am currently making a mini resource pack for Minecraft 1.9 and when I got to the Elytra I was thinking of making it so players could have a different texture for the item depending on what name they gave it in an anvil. So like maybe when they get the Elytra its whatever default texture I decide to give them but then if they take it to an anvil and rename the Elytra to say… Grass Wings it changes to a more green version of the Elytra.
Minecraft – How would one be able to assign items a texture based upon their name

I've released a CraftBukkit plugin called DropProtect which does almost exactly what you're looking for. It protects all Armor slots (Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, and Boots) as well as the 9 hotbar slots by default. It is configurable, so you can change the number of slots that are protected.
Before and after death with 9 protected-slots (covers the hotbar + armor):
Output of the /dropprotect command with 12 protected-slots:
Let me know if you have any questions :)
You can download DropProtect at https://github.com/pavben/Bukkit-DropProtect.

Each texture is assigned to each item, therefore this would not be possible without a mod. However you could make multiple items like "Green Elytra" and "Elytra" if the item you are basing the texture off of has multiple versions.
