Better Trim Tooltips Reborn
by GordeyStudio
Better Trim Tooltips Reborn replaces the three-line armor trim tooltip with a single colored line for the trim material on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft lists an armor trim across three lines, one each for the upgrade, the pattern and the material. Better Trim Tooltips Reborn collapses this into one compact line that shows the trim material in its own color, so the item tooltip takes up less space while the same information stays visible. Material names are shortened to keep the line readable on narrow tooltips.
The mod is an unofficial 1.21+ revival of an earlier project by GordeyStudio. It is tiny and has no dependencies beyond its loader, and the environment is client-side only: a player installs it and a server can run without it. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.1, and the code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
One-line trim tooltip
The upgrade, pattern and material of an armor trim appear on a single line instead of the three lines vanilla uses.
Colored material
The trim material name is drawn in its own color, so a material can be recognized at a glance.
Shortened material names
Long material names are abbreviated so the tooltip line stays short on the screen.
Redstone trim in red
The Redstone trim material is shown in actual redstone red, matching the color of the material itself.
