![Functional Armor Trims title](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/cached_images/6ab63b4be0d08a77d31be4497a1b05ea4381f96b.png) **A mod that gives purpose to every armor trim.** Functional Trims reimagines Minecraft’s armor trims by turning them into unique, gameplay-affecting abilities — each material grants a distinct passive or triggered effect when worn on a full set of armor. ## Overview Tired of trims being purely cosmetic? This mod makes them *functional* by assigning fun, balanced abilities that encourage strategic equipment choices. Every trim material brings something new to the table, from survival perks to combat mechanics. ## Trim Effects Click a material below to view its effect in detail.

Gold

Effect: “Lord of the Nether”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

Piglins and Piglin Brutes will become completely passive around you, even while mining gold ore, looting bastion chests, and even attacking them.

Diamond

Effect: “Shattering Resilience”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

Your armor will take the full force of a fatal attack, shattering itself in the process. When this happens a massive burst of energy is released, knocking back and damaging enemies nearby to give the user room to get to safety.

Netherite

Effect: “Immoveable Object”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

You become completely* immune to knockback. Strikes, projectiles, and explosions have no effect on your position. Doesn't effect fluids, pistons, and status efects like Levitation.

Iron

Effect: “Unyielding Defense”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

Incoming projectiles have a 50% chance to be completely nullified, dropped as items, critical hits do significantly less damage, and shields have no cooldown and knock back the attacker when struck.

Copper

Effect: “Supercharged Strike”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

Lightning is more likely to strike you. But when it does, for the next 60s you become charged, similar to a charged creeper. Your next attack does double damage and is accompanied by a lightning strike and sets your target ablaze.

Amethyst

Effect: “Resonating Vision”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

You gain the ability to see all entities in a 25m radius through walls by sitting still for 3 seconds or crouching for 1.5 seconds. The effect goes away when you start moving again.

Redstone

Effect: “Fully Conductive”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

The blocks you step on will receive a strong redstone signal, powering neighboring blocks. The signal goes away when you step off of the block.

Emerald

Effect: “Explorer’s Fortune”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

Loot chests with randomized loot tables grant more loot per chest. This makes rarer finds easier to obtain, simulating luck (note: not related to the vanilla “luck” effect).

Resin

Effect: “Adhesive Grip”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

You gain the ability to stick to walls by crouching next to a block. The faster you are falling, you will slide a little bit farther when attaching to the wall. This resets your fall height to zero, making it a handy way to slide down walls.

Quartz

Effect: “Enriched Vitality”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

Every potion and food item you consume will grant longer lasting positive effects, more saturation, and more hunger points restored. The default is a 25% increase for all three bonuses.

Lapis Lazuli

Effect: “Scholar’s Insight”

When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:

Experience orbs will grant a whopping 50% more experience to the player. This does not apply to sources of experience that don’t spawn orbs.
