Trim Patcher

by Lunade

Trim Patcher makes armor trims and trim materials work together with a shared palette system, for mods that add new trim materials.

FabricNeoForgeQuiltClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.9 – 26.3

What it does

The mod patches how Armor Trims and Trim Materials load, so the two systems combine without conflicts on armor items. It adds trim textures and new palettes through the atlas, and from 1.21.11 onward the item models display the new trim material colors, which are generated automatically. Keep the trim material name in step with the shorthand name used by its palette, since the patcher relies on that match.

Trim Patcher works with Paletted Permutation sprite sources and uses the default Trim Palette key. Mods or datapacks that add their own trims still need extra compatibility work to fit Armor Trims and Trim Materials. The mod is available for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 8 release versions, 1.21.9 – 26.3, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so its source code is open.

Key features

  1. Combined trim systems

    Armor Trims and Trim Materials are patched to function together on armor items.

  2. Trim textures and palettes

    New trim textures and palettes are added through the atlas, similar to a regular datapack.

  3. Generated trim colors

    Item models pick up the new trim material colors automatically from 1.21.11 onward.

  4. Shared palette key

    The default Trim Palette key lets it combine with Paletted Permutation sprite sources.
