Trimworks
Datapack with cheaper Smithing Template duplication recipe and reusable Templates for more accessible Armour Trims!
I don't know my version or loader



Choco's Trimworks!
For some odd reason, Mojang expects that Smithing Template's replication should serve as a heavy Diamond sink, despite the sole purpose of Armour Trimming being purely cosmetic (for Player expression via Armour customization).
This datapack rectifies that unreasonable notion by modifying Smithing Template's duplication cost to be appropriately sustainable and considerably cheaper, and introducing Template durability (Chips, Cracks, Crumbles after each use). Players can now utilise a single Template for trimming an entire Armour set!
Planned Features
- unique sprites for respective trimmed Armours (resourcepack)
- Trims applying to more Equipment (Elytra, Horse Armour, etc.)
- more Materials for inlaying Trims (Echo Shard, Prismarine Crystal, etc.)
- removing Armour Trims via Grindstone interaction or Blank Template smithing recipe
