Reimagined Trims
by Rebel459
Armor trim duplication recipes for smithing templates are reworked by Reimagined Trims, so each trim has its own early-game recipe.
What it does
Reimagined Trims reworks the trim system that arrived with 1.20, along with any trims added afterward. Every smithing template gets a duplication recipe that highlights what that trim represents and makes trims practical before the late game. The netherite upgrade duplication recipe is left as it is.
Duplication recipes are listed in the Image Gallery, which also shows where each trim can be found. A recipe viewer such as JEI, or the vanilla recipe book, can display them in game. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and also as a data pack.
The server must run it, while players may add it or leave it out, since either side works without the other. Files target 1.20 – 26.2, and the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds are for 26.2, dated 2026-02-10. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Duplication recipe per template
Each smithing template receives its own duplication recipe, so no trim depends on a single shared method.
Early-game trims
The recipes make armor trims reachable earlier, instead of only after finding rare materials late in progression.
Vanilla-consistent balance
Recipes follow the existing vanilla style, with the netherite upgrade duplication left unchanged.
Image Gallery reference
A gallery lists every duplication recipe and the location of each trim, for players who prefer not to search.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want armor trims to be craftable earlier, and who prefer the duplication recipes to follow vanilla conventions.
