#armour trims

[wjbminecraft]

"Oh hey! Armour Trims are in the game now!", or: How I Learned to Stop Waiting and Start Actually Using the Goddamn Snapshots.

Ok so you know how there's a new 1.20 snapshot thing out? Yeah, here's a post showcasing it.

First off, here's how they work;

The slot on the left (which is animated in-game, fading between the outline of a Smithing Template and a Netherite Upgrade) is for inserting... well, Smithing Templates and Netherite Upgrades, the middle-slot (which gains another animated icon when the first slot is filled; the former cycles between different slot-icons, while the latter cycles between various tools and armour-slots) is for tools, weapons and/or armour, and the third slot (cycles through the outlines of various rare materials) is where the nice materials go. The armour-stand on the right displays a preview of your item, but unfortunately doesn't allow you to rotate it.

The materials that can be used as trims are:

Nether Quartz

Amethyst Shards

Netherite Ingots

Copper Ingots

Iron Ingots

Gold Ingots

Diamonds

Redstone Dust

Lapis Lazuli

Emeralds

They can be applied to any armour-type except Leather, for obvious reasons (although I'm guessing you can probably apply trims to Leather using commands).

Anyway, let's look at all those designs!

Sentry

Very generic, but it makes sense since it's the first one listed and it looks kinda like the Trimmed Armour inventory texture.

Dune

Nice design; somehow feels appropriately deserty. The stomach-pattern makes me think of the trap-floor in Desert Temples.

Coast

Ehhh... again, kinda generic, but it probably goes well with other trim designs.

Wild

See above.

Ward

This design made me realise the design on Chiselled Deepslate is meant to be a silhouette of the Warden's head. I like it!

Eye

Haha, eyebrow helmet... the eye-chest is very cool, gotta love character-designs with facial features in the wrong place. Also I'm biased because it has Big Cyclops Energy™.

Vex

Big eyebrows! I also like the more "formal" design down the front.

Tide

If you used Lapis on Diamond for the colours, you could make some pretty-decent Prismarine Armour for a multiplayer server or Adventure map.

Snout

Frogge-eye helmet. Yes.

Rib

Looks bad as a full set, but would make a great accent-pattern for a more distinctive set. Netherite on Iron is basically white-tiger, and the opposite is zebra.

Tower

The trim on the sleeves and boots makes me think of pizza and racing, although it could just be the colours I'm using.

And now, a thing I don't like.

Ok so you know how, when you want to upgrade your Diamond stuff, you put it on a Smithing Table and merge it with a Netherite Ingot? Yeah, not any more. This is how it'll work in 1.20:

See that item in the first slot? That is a Netherite Upgrade. Now, I don't know how how it'll be found, so it could be easy to obtain, but adding another step just kinda overcomplicates it. Not only that, but the process consumes the upgrade, so if it is rare/hard to craft/only findable in chests, it'll be annoying to make a full set of Netherite gear.

But aside from that I'm really excited!

armour trims are the best feature ever added to minecraft

Duplicating armour trims - materials

Because I can't find it written anywhere, here is my contribution (also I have nowhere else to post this) You will need 7 diamonds and the corresponding block. The corresponding blocks are:

Coast: Cobblestone Dune: Sandstone Eye: Endstone Host: Terracotta Netherite upgrade: Netherrack Raiser: Terracotta Rib: Netherrack Sentry: Cobblestone Shaper: Terracotta Silence: Cobbled Deepslate Snout: Blackstone Spire: Purpur block Tide: Prismarine Vex: Cobblestone Ward: Cobbled Deepslate Wayfinder: Terracotta Wild: Mossy Cobblestone

i have Opinions about the new trim name changes lol

context: these are the CURRENT names

i do not understand the rationale behind the changes. nothing about Dune gives me desert pyramid here, and pillagers do not have any "+" sign imagery (unlike the pyramids, which do). i'm so confused >_<

I love that we can now do this in vanilla they're not completely accurate but me from like 8 years ago would be proud

[dividedsingularity]

I watched Soul Eater some time ago. I watched it for the sentient weapons. I was disappointed to find they were humans also… but the show was still really cool in some aspects. So here's some Maka and Soul = ] First one drawn during gartic phone.
