FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution 4.01.20 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds the ability to use dyes at the smithing table when applying armor trims. Installation is done through a data pack on a singleplayer world or a server, and the server must be restarted afterwards before the smithing table works with the new recipes. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build for 26.3 and a supported range of 1.20 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Dyed trims

    Dyes can be combined with trim materials at the smithing table, so trims take on colors chosen by the player.

  2. Data pack installation

    The feature is delivered as a data pack, which is enabled on a world or server and works alongside the mod's loader files.

  3. Resource pack support

    A resource pack can be placed in the client's load order to show the new trim textures on armor.

What the author says

Want the trims to glow? Use my other pack, Emissive Trims! Q: Why does it have a red X over the smithing table when trying to craft it? A: Drop the dye on the ground, pick it up, and try it again. If that doesnt work restart the server. If neither of those worked report it in the discord
