Distracting Trims

by Darkhax

Armor with a golden trim makes piglins stop attacking the wearer, a effect Distracting Trims extends beyond vanilla gold armor.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20 – 26.3

What it does

In vanilla Minecraft, gold distracts piglins, so players wearing golden armor are left alone. Distracting Trims carries that effect over to any armor piece that has a golden trim applied, whether or not the armor itself is made of gold.

The mod needs Bookshelf, Fabric API and Prickle. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files cover 1.20 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and snapshot builds are published. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Golden trim distraction

    Any armor with a golden trim applied distracts piglins the way gold armor does in vanilla.

  2. Vanilla gold unchanged

    Gold armor keeps its existing piglin behavior, and the trim effect adds to it.

  3. Multi-loader builds

    Separate files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, each for its own game versions.

Questions

Does Distracting Trims need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required, along with Bookshelf and Prickle. All three must be installed next to the mod.

Does the server need the mod?

What the author says

In vanilla Minecraft piglins are easily distracted by gold and will not attack players who are wearing golden armor. With this mod installed the distracting properties of gold armor are extended to any armor that has a golden trim applied!
