VisualTrims
by zenchix
VisualTrims lets a player pick armor trim patterns and materials for worn gear on the client, without changing how the armor works for anyone else.
What it does
Trims are chosen for the helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots through an in-game screen that shows previews of each option. Arrow selectors step through the choices, and five custom loadouts can be saved and switched between, so several looks stay ready. Changes apply in real time and appear only on the player's own screen.
The mod runs on the client alone and leaves the server untouched. Since only the player's view changes, it can be used on Realms, vanilla servers, modded multiplayer servers and in a single-player world. Other players see the standard trim unless they run the mod too. The menu is translated into English (US and UK), Russian, German, Spanish, French and Ukrainian.
Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, 1.21.5, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 2.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Per-slot trim selection
Each armor piece can take its own trim pattern and material, so the four slots are styled independently.
Interactive preview menu
A GUI shows item previews with arrow selectors and preset slots, so trims can be compared before a choice is kept.
Five saved presets
Up to five custom armor trim loadouts can be stored and switched between at any time.
Lightweight rendering
The mod changes only what the player sees, without altering game mechanics or adding packet traffic.

How it compares
Clean Your Trims is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 that runs on client and server, so both sides need it; it is not open source and is under the MIT License. Armor Trim Command is client-side only on Fabric for the same range and is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is not open source. Dynamic Trim is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.20 – 1.21 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
