Armour Trim Abilities
by Tubm
Armour Trim Abilities gives each armour trim pattern passive and active effects, and the effects grow as more pieces of the set are worn.
What it does
Armour Trim Abilities is a datapack that attaches unique passive and active abilities to armour trims. Wearing one to three trimmed pieces grants basic passive effects, while a full set of four pieces opens enhanced passive effects and special active abilities. Mixed sets also count, so a combination of trims can still reach the full-set bonus.
Many active abilities are triggered by sneaking and last a set duration. Each one has a cooldown that stops it being spammed, and each consumes hunger as its resource cost. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 16 release versions, 1.21 – 26.2, and is server required with client optional, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and open source.

What the author says
This Minecraft datapack enhances all armor trims with unique passive and active abilities. The abilities scale based on how many pieces of armor have the trim (1-3 pieces for basic effects, 4 pieces for full set bonuses). Mixing sets also work but do not give full set abilities.
