Arcane Armor Trims
by mrmarlow
Arcane Armor Trims is a NeoForge addon for Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks that lets players use its magic materials as armor trims in the smithing table.
What it does
Armor trims are a vanilla Minecraft 1.21.1 system for decorating equipment, and this addon extends it with materials from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks. Pyrium, Mithril and Arcane ingots from that magic mod can be applied through the smithing table, so spell-themed armor pieces can be customized the same way as vanilla trims.
The addon is described by its author as a micro addon that bridges the gap between the Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks materials and the armor trim system. It targets only NeoForge 1.21.1, and it requires the Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks mod to be installed alongside it for its materials to exist. Both the server and every player need the mod, and the author notes a known issue where trim colors display incorrectly in inventory slots in Minecraft 1.21.1.
The mod is listed as released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its first file, 1.21.1-1.1, was published on 2026-03-22, the same day as the last update. The author lists a coming-soon entry, but no details about future content are given here.
Key features
Pyrium trim material
Pyrium ingots from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks work as an armor trim material in the smithing table.
Mithril trim material
Mithril ingots from the same magic mod can also be applied to armor as a trim.
Arcane trim material
Arcane ingots add a third spell-themed trim option, applied through the smithing template system.
Smithing table use
The ingots are used in the smithing table like any other trim material, so no new crafting block is needed.
