About Functional Armor Trims
From ModrinthAdds small but meaningful effects to wearing armor trims of different materials
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.
