Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This mod empowers users to add trims onto items besides armor. This supports all vanilla pickaxes, axes, shovels, swords, hoes, and shears out of the box.

Additionally, you can find a new smithing template that will make your trims glow in the dark when combined with armor or tools and a glow ink sac.

Trims on Tools supports these mods out of box:
