Trim Resonance
by unmasked917
Trim Resonance turns the armor trim system into a progression layer, where a trim material and pattern worn together grant their own stackable effects.
What it does
Each armor trim material paired with a trim pattern grants a unique effect while worn. The effect applies to each piece carrying that material, whatever the pattern, and it scales with the number of pieces worn from 1 to 4. Gold with the Sentry pattern across a full set adds a Solar Bonus that works alongside the material effects; the Gold Solar Bonus applies in the Overworld during daytime only. The cosmetic trim choice and the gameplay effects stack without replacing each other.
Material effects include Redstone Swift Current, Netherite Nether Ward, Iron Mining Mastery, Diamond Resilience, Copper Conductor, and Amethyst Resonant Shield. Copper's effect needs thundering weather and sky visibility to activate, and projectiles fired by a fully worn set summon lightning bolts on hit. Haste II applies with a full four-piece set. The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge and needs both the server and every player to have it, across 3 release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.2, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Trim-based material effects
Each armor trim material grants its own effect when worn, and the effect scales with the number of pieces equipped.
Pattern-independent bonuses
Material effects apply regardless of which trim pattern is used, so the pattern only controls the look of the armor.
Attribute boosts
Trims add attack damage, movement speed, armor, toughness and attack speed on a per-piece basis, with totals growing across a full set.
Defensive and combat effects
Netherite can negate incoming damage with a chance per piece, Diamond reduces damage per piece, and Iron improves mining efficiency.
