Cheap Templates
Cheap Templates makes the recipes for smithing templates cheaper to craft, and the data pack version rewrites those recipes to be more accurate.
What it does
Smithing templates normally cost a lot of diamonds, and the mod lowers that cost by changing their crafting recipes. The mod uses a data pack, so the recipe changes are read from its data files rather than from code. Armor trims are included among the templates it affects.
Files are published for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1. The server needs the mod, while players may leave it out. The mod is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Cheaper template recipes
Recipes for smithing templates use less expensive materials than the vanilla versions, which reduces the diamonds needed.
Data pack recipes
Recipes are changed through a data pack, so the adjustments are visible in the recipe files rather than hidden in code.
Armor trim templates
Armor trim templates are covered by the cheaper recipes, so trims cost less to craft too.

What the author says
When comparing the template's recipe and texture, we see that the item is mainly made from some material, not diamonds. This is why this data pack was created, to make the recipes more accurate. (This includes armor trims)
