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

Gold — “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 — “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 you room to get to safety.

Netherite — “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. (Does not affect fluids, pistons, or status effects like Levitation.)

Iron — “Unyielding Defense”

• When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:
  • Incoming projectiles have a 50% chance to be completely nullified and dropped as items.
  • Critical hits deal half damage.
  • Shields no longer have cooldown and knock back the attacker when struck.

Copper — “Supercharged Strike”

• When wearing a full set of armor trimmed with this material:
  • Lightning is more likely to strike you.
  • When struck, you become charged for 60 seconds.
  • Your next attack deals double damage, summons lightning, and ignites your target.

“Lightning strikes you once, and you strike back harder.”

Amethyst — “Resonating Vision”

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