Aesthetic Weapon Trims
by WoofNBark
Aesthetic Weapon Trims lets players add visual trims and upgrades to swords, with each trim changing the look of a weapon rather than its stats.
What it does
Trims are applied at a smithing table, and combining one with a Weapon Pattern sets the stats of the finished weapon. The trim itself only decides the design, so a trimmed weapon keeps the attack damage, attack speed and attack range of its pattern. Weapons can be made with a trim and netherite upgrade at the same time, and the crafted sword ends up with slightly higher damage than a regular netherite sword.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 only. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Both loaders get the same 1.0.0 file, published on 2026-02-17.
Key features
Themed weapon trims
New trims add distinct aesthetic themes to swords, so one weapon can look different from another with the same stats.
Weapon Patterns set stats
The Weapon Pattern used with a trim decides attack damage, attack speed and attack range, and the trim only changes the design.
Diamond sword trims
Trims are applied to diamond swords, and they can be combined with the netherite upgrade in the same smithing step.
Two-variant swords
Some swords come in a second variant, obtained by placing the first one on a crafting table, such as the Bronze Xiphos and Bronze Khopesh.

Use cases
Decorating a sword collection
Players who want several swords with the same base stats but different looks can apply different trims to each one.
Upgrading to netherite
A trimmed diamond sword can be upgraded to netherite during the same smithing table visit, keeping the chosen design.
Who it’s for: Players who want swords with distinct looks, and server owners who run a survival or adventure world where weapon appearance matters, on Fabric or NeoForge.
How it compares
Dynamic Trim is open source under the MIT License, runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21, and is client-side only, so servers need nothing. Echo Trim is licensed under the MIT License, runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.3, and is server required with an optional client. Aesthetic Weapon Trims covers only Fabric and NeoForge, targets 1.21.1 alone and needs both client and server.

The trims can only be used on diamond swords and act both a trim and as a netherite upgrade at the same time, tho the weapons crafted at a smithing table have a slightly higher DPS than regular Netherite weapons. The type of trim does not determine the stats of the weapon but only it's design. Daggers - Attack…
