Tool Trims Concept
by MrKazanek
Tool Trims Concept lets players apply armor-style trims to netherite pickaxes, swords and axes, using smithing templates found in the world.
What it does
Trims add a decorative pattern to a tool, much as they already do for armor. The mod supports applying trims only to netherite swords, netherite axes and netherite pickaxes, and templates are applied through a smithing table. Each trim is chosen from a set of materials, among them Copper ingot, Iron ingot, Amethyst Shard, Gold Ingot, Nether Quartz, Redstone Dust, Lapis Lazuli, Diamond and Netherite Ingot.
The smithing templates are meant to be found while exploring. According to the author, a smithing template can turn up in weaponsmith's houses in villages, with a 1/3 chance of finding one to 1 or 2 in quantity. The Heat trim can be applied to netherite pickaxes. The mod is in alpha development, and the author is working on more tool trims and further tools for later updates.
The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 only, in the Client and server environment, so the server and every player need it. Its latest file is 25y04a for 1.21.1, dated 2025-03-01, on the alpha channel, and the code is All rights reserved and not open source.
