Ent's Armor Trim Expanded
by TheFlyingEnt
Ent's Armor Trim Expanded lets armor trims animate, glow and react to a player's health and hunger, with trim materials defined in data packs.
What it does
Trims added by this mod can be animated frame by frame, with colors that shift between states, and can be made to glow at full brightness so that a player in a cave or at night sees them as well. The animation system is data-driven: a resource pack supplies a short animation file that defines the colors, and a data pack adds new animated trim materials without any code. The mod uses the standard smithing-trim system, so trims are applied at a smithing table as usual, and it includes a Sculk and Prismarine armor trim material.
Health, hunger and other player data can drive trim reactions, and the mod adds a few extra options: trimmed armor can be dropped with its trim intact, a Glow Ink Sac can be used at an anvil, and applying these trims costs no experience. Ent's Armor Trim Expanded is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3, requires Fabric API, and is released under the BSD 3-Clause License, which makes it open source.

How it compares
Trim Me 2 runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.2 – 26.3, is server required with the client optional, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Stackable Trims covers 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, with both client and server needed, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Glowing Trims Mod is client-side only and released under the MIT License, but it targets Fabric alone for 1.21.1 – 26.3.
