Why Do The Weapon Skins Only Work In 1.9+

see title pretty simple question

 

cause they are tools with durability, giving different textures, a feature added in 1.9

Spoiler: @Edits are fun

The textures use damaged pickaxes and shovels
Retexturing separate damage values like that is a feature only in 1.9+

Basically they had no more blocks to use
hmmm =P
