Shovel Armor Trims
by nugrevan
Shovel Armor Trims lets players apply armor trim templates to shovels, adding a trim pattern and material to each one they craft or smith.
What it does
Shovels become trimmable with the same template materials used for armor. A smithing table accepts a shovel, a trim template and an ingredient, and the result is a shovel carrying that pattern. The mod also covers swords, elytra, maces, pickaxes, axes and shovels, so the trim system reaches several tool types at once. Across the added items and variants, the total reaches 1393 different trims, with the default variant counted among them.
The mod depends on KSPACK, which must be installed alongside it. Only the server needs the mod, while players may add it. A player without the mod on their client still sees a regular shovel, and a player with it sees the trimmed appearance. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 26.1 – 26.3, and the code is licensed under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Trimmable shovels
Shovels accept armor trim templates on a smithing table, giving each one a pattern and material.

Large trim set

Vanilla-friendly display
Without the client mod, players see plain shovels, so a server can run the trims without forcing a client install.

Stackable Elytra Trims is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers 26.1 – 26.2 on Fabric and NeoForge, with both the client and the server needing it.
