Dynamic Trims Mod
by terex-mint
Dynamic Trims gives armor trims a light level set per material, so a trimmed piece of armor can glow in the dark as it is worn.
What it does
Each armor trim material emits its own dynamic light, with brightness set separately for every material from 0 to 15 in an in-game config screen. Amethyst can be made to shine brightly while another material gives off only a faint light, letting a player tune the glow to taste. The light is applied to armor worn by players and to armor stands, so trimmed displays glow as well.
The lighting is built on LambDynamicLights, which supplies the dynamic light system, and the mod requires Cloth Config API for its settings screen and Fabric API as the Fabric base layer. Mod Menu is optional and, when installed, opens the config screen from its list. The author describes the overhead as light, and the mod runs only on the client, so servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric alone, with files for 1.21.1 and the 1.21.6 – 26.1.2 releases.
