@Atomguarenteeing it would be busted, i think there is very little actual incentive to explore in minecraft beyond villages nether fortresses and strongholds, woodland mansions also seem somewhat lackluster to me since they were added. I think the exploration to multiple mansions alone makesnthe rarity worth it, let alone all the other loot you'll obtain by going to multiple mansions. Rather than just afking at some farm as i so often do. :/
I don’t this it should be rare because it’s not actually doing anything it just cosmetics it’s no different then dye leather armor it shouldn’t be so expensive and time consuming
I don't know if this idea was suggested, but I think it would be kind of cool to be able to maybe add glowstone after adding a trim to give it a faint glow or something(idk just a random thought)
This is a very good addition, 1. Its customisable and it looks very cool 2. This could be used in servers as a way of defining groups or maybe in private friend servers as well.
Omg! I remember suggesting the ability to use the smithing table to add dye trims to armours when they were asking what they should do with the block. I thought it would be a great way to express yourself (since most of your skin was being covered) and without losing clarity of what armour you were wearing. Cool to see something similar being added :]
I like how the Smithing table feels much more finished in this, seeing as how just having the one use is a little weird. Also, I kinda wish there were some minor buffs with these, like adding a Netherite one will add a tiny armor bonus, or emerald granting some bonus with villager trading, or having a full set with a gold trim to de-agro piglins. Or a little treat for Mumbo, having the redstone trim effect a special redstone detection block at varying levels... Also wondering if Elytra will be receiving this...
@totalNERD Oh yeah. We currently can't improve the armour like that. And expensive materials should definitely be worth something more. So I see where you're coming from. I also like the idea of a gold trim inflicting a certain response from the piglins. Tbf it wouldn't really make sense if the piglins are attacking you despite the fact that all of your iron armour is covered in golden trims.
@barm barm • 52 years ago I wouldn't make it OP or meta, just something to make putting an expensive material on an inexpensive armor worthwhile. Like if you put Netherite on Leather.
@totalNERD That is a nice suggestion. I like the redstone idea, because that would provide a lot of potential. However, in my opinion, that really complicates everything a lot, for the armour trim feature. It easily beats all of the other features because of how powerful and mega-mega it is. Right now, it's just some customisation. Just like the banner on shields. And it's quite simple yet fun.
There are two things I think that should be added to this: echo shards should be able to be used for trims, and Elytra should be able to have patterns applied to them through banner patterns. However, I think this is a really great change overall.
@MsaoceR what with the vanilla cape? i didnt get it. if youre talking about migration cape, anyone after the migration occured (quite a lot of people) didnt get it, and those who didnt migrate also didnt get it. theres enough people who dont have capes. plus, you dont have to use the banner on your elytra, its a customization option, not a requirement
the fact that you can duplicate the upgrade AND templates makes me feel a WHOLE lot better about this change. I have a lot of my main world explored, so it's gonna take a while to find any of these as it stands.
Same, that's more then likely why they added the duplication feature in which is very nice of them to think of the players who play on their worlds forever and everything is basically explored
It would be nice it would be vanilla but eh, Mojang have been lacking of decisive moves ik certain areas, like armor. Netherite add and now trims are great, but trims could be greater

I think it's cool how the templates are in structures. Not only is armor now customizable, but I imagine it would be more intentional. However, for some of these, like the woodland mansion and jungle temple, it's a bit too rare. Desert temple and ocean monument seem pretty balanced though.
Making it harder to upgrade to netherrite is fine in theory, but with the current system it could really screw over multiplayer. People raid the bastions close by, so you end up having to travel thousands of blocks to find one. Or if they have a world boarder, there would be a finite amount of them, which would lead to the few people that *do* have them being able to charge insane amounts of diamonds for 1
@Booklat1 For multiplayer servers with world borders all you need is to get a small group of people together, raid every single bastion to get the smithing upgrade, and then you're the only people who have them. Then they own who can and can't have netherite, and they don't even need to give out the templates to give other people netherite armor, instead you'd have to give them your armor to upgrade to netherite and then you'd get it back. So yes, very easy to get a monopoly on netherite without ever having to grind every single piece of ancient debris. Thanks Mojang :D #sarcasm.
It would make sense if they could be a rare/master level/expensive trade from Armorer villagers, or maybe Wandering Traders could occasionally have them. That way, there's a renewable (but still somewhat difficult) way to obtain them.
It's good that you can clone the templates since they are pretty hard to find. They should make them a tad more common especially since it's not really an upgrade but just a visual thing. I think these could be good for online things like creating armor with certain trims for guilds or whatnot.
It would also be nice to have more structures in deserts and jungles and on/under seas. And not all needs to be innovative to be a good addition, Mojang...
10 materials × 11 trims × 5 armor types = 550 then 550 - 33 = 517 for no diamonds, gold, & iron self trim then add 5 for untrimmed = 522 per each body slot & +111 for the helms cause turtle so thats 633 helm × 522^3 bodys = 90,035,798,189 ~90.03 billion non-leather armor combos but if we go back & +1 for undyed leather & +5,713,438 for possible dyed leathers to each body slot we get 5714072×5713961^3=1,066,000,783,473,511,195,945,667,032 ~1.06 octillion possible armor combos
I actually really like this change. It makes the netherite process more difficult, and you use diamond more, and more of them. I enjoy this change as before, it was ridiculously easy to get diamonds and then fairly easy to get to netherite. The caves and cliffs update basically hands you diamond armor on a silver platter. You can now go caving for 5 minutes in a large cavern and get a few diamonds. It used to be caving for a long time or strip mining forever. Now, you look around, mine the few diamonds that are very visible, and then move on. Not to mention that technically strip mining is extremely buffed as at the bottom of the world the diamond rates are about doubled what they used to be. Getting full diamond used to be an achievement, now it's a chore to get to netherite. However, now you need way more diamonds for netherite armor. From 24 to 45 for netherite, and it makes diamonds more valuable as you need them for customization. I really like how now there is a challenge in the game again. All this customization is now locked behind end game items. Right now in Minecraft, there are no end game items. Yes, there are items at the end of the game, but lets be honest, they are too easy to find to be considered "end game." You go to the end for half an hour and you have an elytra. Just bring a few stacks of blocks and you are set. Netherite, mine with an efficiency 5 pickaxe for an hour. Efficiency 5 pickaxe, make an xp farm. Enderman farms are easy, and the new small guardian farms are too. Getting to the end is easy, now you trade sticks for enderpearls instead of having to wait and get lucky and pray you get an enderman, then pray some more that it drops a pearl. The most difficult thing about getting to the end, is blaze powder. Blaze's are very easy to defeat if you have a cheap shield, and yet finding a netherfortress can easily be the most difficult thing about getting to the end. Not to mention the dragon fight has gotten so easy to do. Defeating the enderdragon used to be an event. You would prepare your entire world's gametime for it. Potions, arrows, enchants. Now you bring some snowballs, beds, boats, and water. Swords and arrows are backup. Also on servers, it's only an event when there is a challenge, like only wooden swords and a stack of dirt per player. That's how easy it's gotten One final thing which I think has been made easy, but ties into why I like these new upgrades, is finding a good base location. You used to travel forever trying to find a place that looks nice, and that you would call home. If you never did that, you probably settled for plains, which is fine, and finding a plains biome isn't too difficult still, but now, thanks to caves and cliffs, you can travel for 5 minutes and have a beautiful sight in front of you to build you base. So now, in modern day Minecraft, every single thing in the game that used to be difficult, and worthy of being it's own event, is now handed to you on a silver platter. You have to exaust very little effort to achieve all of these. If you are the average player, you could probably get all of this done within a few days to a week. Verteran players or just players that are very good at the game could get this done in 1-2 days. Maybe even less. So this is another reason why I like these armor customizers. You actually have to do something and put in the hours. I think a 4ish percent is perfect. You want these? You better get exploring. This adds the exploration back into the game, and will probably take you a long time to collect them all. If you are on a server right now and see someone is full netherite, you obviously know they have been playing for a bit, but that's it. Just a bit. A few days tops to get what they have. But now, if you see someone with armor trims, especially the deep dark ones, end city's, or the ultra rare woodland mansion one, you know that they are hardcore players that have put the time and effort into this game. Getting the armor you want will take a long time, and lots of exploring. And I like that. Minecraft has been slowly removing the challenge out of the game. This adds back what Minecraft is about. There is now a challenge, and it adds the exploring that the devs have been pushing for. Now there is an incentive to go and explore. Honestly, the only real challenge that has been added recently is the deep dark, and even then it's really not that hard as long as you have some wool. And the only possibly unintentional hard thing to find is cactus. A cactus. This might just be me, but deserts have gotten ridiculously hard to find. You used to travel for 5-10 minutes and find one. Now I find myself travelling for hours with nothing. I have to pull up a seed map to find the closest one, and it's always 5-10k blocks away, and the next closest after that is 20-30k in the opposite direction. I tend to completely beat the game, get an elytra, get max enchanted netherite armor, before I find a desert and a stupid cactus. God forbid I want to dye something green. All in all, these new armor trims are just as rare as they should be, if anything they should be rarer. The devs have been trying to push exploring and this is it. This adds the exploration, and it also adds a challenge to the game again. You don't want to travel to 2 structures and have these things handed to you like everything else right? I don't. It will be annoying to get these, but I think it's a good choice.
I really like that this can lead to great customization, I sorta thought half of these sets looked ugly- but when you consider that you can just have a normal set with one trimmed piece of armor, or just choose many combination to make a pleasant to looking at set- it's really not bad. you can make a set look ugly, but that's the natural downside of giving plenty of options/customization, so if anything, it means they are on the right track.(let's just hope they make it more common- it'd be perfect if bartering with Armorer or Leatherworker gave access to at least a 3rd of the potential templates. giving you some that are as rare and hard to acquire as bartering/farming for mending, or a little less time consuming... and making you have to actively explore/search for the rest.)
this is so cool, I hope they make certain biomes more common, so that I can actually find a jungle temple for once. Also I think it would have been cool to make this system closer to that of banners, where you can overlap multiple smaller decals and elements to make a wholly unique banner
I would like to see the ability to add items as decorations to the helmet. You could use the templates to do it. Items like feathers, tridents, blocks. Kind of like an item frame on the sides or front of the helmet maybe the back also. You could also put it on the shoulders. This could also be an easy way to mark teams.
This update is the most well thought thing I've seen from Minecraft in ages - it was probably relatively simple to add to game, encourages to explore existing content again, is actually very fun as a concept, 10/10 from me
I really love this change! I am fond of being rewarded cosmetics for your hard effort, It gives you a reason for you to grind. Definitely one of my favorite changes they've added in a few updates.
It would honestly be really cool if when you used a full set of the same trim it added a effect. Effectively adding classes to Minecraft, for example the one you find in the ocean can give you water breathing. Maybe the different mineral you use to color it can slightly alter the effects to make it even more crazy
I'm really glad they're giving diamonds more uses. It felt like diamonds were forgotten about, with the last thing you could make with them being enchantment tables from over a decade ago.
@a wise man and probably won't require very difficult coding if rendered in the same way as glowing eyes are done for endermen, spiders and drowned (do these glow? I'm forgetting if these glow)
SO happy to see "surprise updates" come back. I remember being so excited whenever I opened Minecraft on my Xbox 360 and saw that an update was due. There was an added sense of exploration when I didn't know what was added. I'd look forward to them! Now I know every single detail and every single bug. I may avoid these videos (showing off snapshots) now for the express purpose of reliving my childhood!
This is such an interesting new feature to add, i like it but i probably am never going to use it outside of Creative mode simply because finding these things is probably going to be impossible for me, let alone finding the ones i want and having the necessary materials to craft them. Still, a fun idea in theory.
This is a fantastic feature! I wish they added another reason to do it outside the visual appeal. Even if it was something small like an extra half defense point or even an effect boost like swiftness, jump boost or regen if you have the full set (Simular to botw)
I just don't think netherite really offers enough of a benefit to justify the amount of work you will now have to put in to get it. Besides tool durability, the difference between diamond and netherite is miniscule.
Finally Mojang is giving us a reason to go look for all these structures! I've been waiting for so long to have an update that encourages finding structures. Needless to say, this was an extremely refreshing snapshot
This may be a bit of an issue seeing that I found pretty much all the structures for around 5,000 blocks in over world and nether. Finding another Stronghold, Bastion, and Mansion after finding several will be a pain, despite two of those having actual maps. Also, I've been in the same world for 4 years and only found one jungle temple so that will be an even bigger problem
@Grey Area What do you mean forcing.......you don't have to find any of these to complete the game, if anything it's extra incentive for people who already like to explore
I honestly think that it’s really cool, and makes the netherite armor and tools more valuable. And thus change also encourages more exploring to fing the template you want.
I love it, and I think the potential for factions and storytelling on servers is very cool. I can imagine some immortal faction obsessed with cheating death wearing gold armor with emerald trim, to emulate the totem of undying
I think with this update it leaves leather amour behind a bit. You would think due to its customizability in the current game it would get an update involving the loom similar to the banner system. In current Minecraft one of the main appeals of leather amour is the fact you can dye it and it would be unfortunate if that is lost.
They should absolutely add like minor things to it so it can be for something other than appearances. Like with the coastal one you’d have better visibility in water. The ender one you could have slower falling for instance. Certain ones would give slightly better loot tables, etc With materials you could have better things too, like imagine having copper and being conducive in regular rain. Having Diamond gives extra toughness, emeralds better trade properties, etc
I do like how they changed the enchantment glint to make the details more visible; however, I still prefer how it looks in the Vanilla Tweaks resource packs. I hope they make it a bit closer to that one so that certain armor trims won't clash with the purple glint too much.
I'd like to see more than just trimming. It's cool, but I'd also like to put feathers, horns, wings, cloaks, etc onto my armour. And maybe have different styles of armour, like gothic or japanese (with creative liberties to make them distinct)
I think if netherite becomes more difficult to obtain, it should also bear more advantages. For example, I think the netherite pickaxe and axe should give you te possibility to insta-mine deepslate and logs, respectively, when paired with the beacon effect Haste II.
I feel like the trim should give the armor more durability and/or a little more protection based on whatever material you used. It’s more expensive so it should have more than just a visual benefit.
Colors, exploration incentives, collection achievements, additional diamond use, another thing to share - I absolutely LOVE this feature addition! ... It does still need some work however with the rates based on structure rarity and how many potential chests those have. Not sure about netherite being required for black though, that seems reeeally expensive compared to the others. I feel coal would fit better.
I personally feel indifferent about the change to Netherite. I like the added challenge to finding it, but I don't feel anything else. I do enjoy the Armor Trimming itself though. Really brings out more personal for others.
I actually like this change, however I like the thought that different items and dyes, and more armor upgrade through these runes aswell as enchantments
@Donke267 They could bend the definition into just ranged combat/marksmanship, which can be accomplished in Minecraft by shooting fireworks with a crossbow. I saw someone suggest that they make the fletching table into a pyrotechnics table that lets you craft fireworks more easily. (Still being called the fletching table, though, due to it being the workstation for fletchers.) And, like the loom and smithing table, I believe it should give you some kind of preview as to what the firework design you’re making will look like before crafting it.
The low 4.8% would make more sense if the armour trims had uses beyond cosmetics. Maybe they could provide permanent status effects or exclusive/improved enchantments, or enhancements of some sort, corresponding to where you found them
When I saw this on the Minecraft launcher I was ecstatic knowing that it would influence the reasons why I look for specific structures. This is a great addition
I like the idea of netherite gear being harder to obtain, but with it being such a small upgrade to diamond they would have to buff it quite drastically for it to be worth the effort. As for the trims, if feel like they will be most useful in team based minigames to better visually differentiate between each team without having to see the nametag.
Netherite tools should be buffed in some way to compensate for the added difficulty. I personally want to see deepslate instant-mining for an Efficiency V netherite pickaxe with Haste II - you can't instant-mine it in vanilla at the moment, which is a shame.
the difference between diamond and netherite is huge in a pvp environment, which is where it matters. In a survival vanilla, there is no point in upgrading your armor, because there is no threat that will put you in danger. netherite itself doesn't make sense, so it is better to leave it as in the snapshot. the only way to fix this is to make the game harder but we already know that won't happen
This is neat! I've never been much of an explorer when it comes to Minecraft, but this might just change that. I do hope they adjust the loot table values so that you have a higher chance of finding the templates in the rarer structures. I do NOT fancy having to locate tons of Strongholds and Woodland Mansions to get these things.
It would be cool if the different materials that you add to armor would add perks. Like netherite would reduce knockback, emerald would give a bonus for trading, etc
I actually like the change. Netherite was actually quite easy to obtain, it just took a bit of time. Now its actually HARD, as clearing bastions is not very easy
@Bananko the nether and caves update were 2.5 updates out of 12 years. Thats not exactly something to brag about. Im sure what the other guy was saying was something as basic as colored trim on armor taking 12 years to get added is cheaping out. Maybe you don't realize it but the devs for this game have been lacking in their updates compared to when Mojang wasn't owned by Microsoft
They really should add some kind of effect that each trim grants. They don’t even need to have each effect have another magnitude depending on the armor type it is applied to. Plus, I think the templates should have a durability to them like how am anvil does, that way they aren’t incredibly precious and painful to find but also aren’t a thing you only need one of for each.
Really cool. Armor looking the same or doodoo is the main reason I play with cosmetic mods that get rid of the armor or replace it. Or with texture packs. The greatest effect of this it also gives a reason to explore some of the structures you'd sometimes just ignore. Hopefully they kept along more with time or different mechanics to customize your armor with. But keep it cosmetic. Some people have said they'd like for trims to add traits or stats but nah thanks. Then a meta would form and everyone would just have the exact same look again.
I think it whould be better if the different colors whould be dyes. It just feels weird using a netherrite ingot to make it dark red/black. Also I think the templates should have a better spawning rate in chests. + They should update some structures. Jungle temples need a big overhaul and the pillager tower also could use a rework (because 1 chest and its pretty uncommon) (maybe make it a rare mob drop like 1 in 2000. Just so you can eventually farm one if lucky) I really like this new armour stuff, i can already see me trading different things with friends on our server. It whould be hard to get many veriants in singleplayer but I think this will be a cool new feature for multiplayer.
I like that diamonds have increased in value again. With the rise of villager trading halls you barely need to mine them anymore. The customization aspect looks really cool too
I've been saying this for a while, but I really feel like it's gonna happen at some point now. I don't think Netherite is going to be the only upgrade for diamond gear. I feel like we're eventually going to get more types of upgrades that have different functions and uses. Maybe there's one that makes you faster, but it's slightly weaker than diamond, or one that allows you to breath underwater indefinitely. I feel like it has a LOT of potential.
I legitimately thought this was an old April Fools joke until I saw the upload date. This looks absolutely awesome! and it gives people a better reason to explore & search for more niche locations such as the Jungle Temple. I absolutely love this! Edit: It also gives more uses to resources such as amethyst, which I’m all for!
@Bøxed netherite can't be found like diamonds or iron, they can be found in a bastion though. Ancient debris is the thing used to make netherite, as well as gold.
Amazing update, making diamonds and every single ore have one more use, including amethyst, I just wish it didn't require that many diamonds to clone them, instead of 7 it could be 5
I think it might be a good idea to have the rarities of finding these templates be not too high (as in not too rare) to encourage exploring to find more of them over duplicating them. I mean, what's more interesting gameplay: traveling across the land, battling mobs, raiding temples and looting chests, or spending a few hours strip mining? Downside is that for worlds that you want to keep using for years through different updates, it's best to limit your exploring to some extent so you don't have to go as far for new features.
I love this so much, I never utilise diamond as its so easy to level 30 enchant a diamond pick and just start blasting at the netherack for an hour or two till I have full netherite
I think it would be cool if each smithing template would give small individual buffs which gets stronger when you apply a stronger ore. For example one pattern gives you absorption. When you apply gold its very low absorption. If you apply diamond or netherite you get the strongest absorption.
I'm honestly super excited to see the Hermits start to play around with the different trims. I do wonder if any of you will be madlad enough to open a shop with them though. Doc is probably the only hermit with the diamonds to start duplicating them in mass.
Don't forget Mumbo is still the richest on Hermitcraft as of now. He just needs to come back and open the secret redstone vaults he left Grian in charge of.
It’s cool I like the idea, they’re definitely heading in the right direction for longevity of servers/worlds with friends but the trims need to have some sort of traits tied to them, not just cosmetics. It doesn’t really give people that yearning feeling to pursue the best trims/traits. (People will always find a way to speed run items/games)
It’s expensive, but that’s good! Diamonds are a lot more common in chests and such, but not much functionality, so while you can always use villagers to get armor, this new function for diamonds is nice and I feel like it helps make diamonds more valuable
I think being able to put chainmail under leather armour would be cool. It would add a use to chainmail but also you wouldn’t know if someone is wearing chainmail or leather in a pvp setting
It will so cool if the add upgrade tokens for other armour. Maybe you could upgrade leather with an iron block to get fur lined iron armour allowing you to walk on powder snow and maybe they can add a buff where it’s more protective against negative splash potions. Maybe you could upgrade gold with a diamond block to diamond armour that doesn’t annoy piglins etc.
@Eric E ok let’s say I have one and choose to copy it 3 times so I can have a full set I would need 21 diamonds on top of the 24 I already used to make the full set, so to be blinged out and protected I would need 45 diamonds that is just under double the diamonds for normal armor. Honestly for the one to make netherite I agree that’s fine but not for cosmetics. It’s like if the banner patterns broke every time I wanted my shield to look nice
I just think that the template should not be consumed or it should have a derability I mean I don’t want to create or find 4 templates to put a trim on my diamond armor I am going to lose into the void or lava at some point
As someone who is not a big fan of how fast people get netherite now on servers i definitely love the idea of netherite armor and tools being harder to make.
I overall really like this. I feel like open ended games like Minecraft have the same difficulty issue as Pokémon games, where besides larger changes or self imposed challenges there aren’t many ways to make them more difficult besides just making it take more time, which isn’t really any more challenging
Echo shards should add a sort of glowing teal trim to it, like how spider eyes glow in the dark. It’d give another use for the item since it’s used are currently really limited to crafting 1 item
Considering the way to upgrade from Diamond to Netherite now uses a unique item with its icon noticeably distinct from the trim templates, I wonder if this means they might add other functional Upgrade Templates later?
What if there was an iron armor upgrade that utilized copper, in a similar vein to diamond and netherite. Maybe this new set could have a special effect that works in a similar way to an enchantment, but completely unique to the armor.
I feel that certain templates should have special effects if you have a full set, albeit I think it’s not that important but something other than enchantments.
I don't like how the patterns get used up, but I do like the 7-diamond cost. I'd prefer if the ones you found were "patterns" (like banner patterns) and they can only be used to craft the disposable templates (which would return the pattern). This way once you've found a pattern you don't accidentally lose it because you forgot to duplicate it.
@Mac well that is understandable some parts should have higher chance of obtaining itom, but still should be one use only, point of cosmetics is show off, you can go to frnds look what I got and they wont have it since its gone
@PigwhaleGaming then you sir, are not mining correctly. Use beds at y 15 and you can get a full set and more in day if you play all day or maybe if you play for like 2 hours every day you can get that in like 3 days.
I like that it is rare, but 4.8% chance on Woodland Mansions is brutal
Yeah but you can duplicate them
@Atomguarenteeing it would be busted, i think there is very little actual incentive to explore in minecraft beyond villages nether fortresses and strongholds, woodland mansions also seem somewhat lackluster to me since they were added. I think the exploration to multiple mansions alone makesnthe rarity worth it, let alone all the other loot you'll obtain by going to multiple mansions. Rather than just afking at some farm as i so often do. :/
Hypixel skyblock players saying: why not 0.0048% chance
I don’t this it should be rare because it’s not actually doing anything it just cosmetics it’s no different then dye leather armor it shouldn’t be so expensive and time consuming
@Redstonewarrior0 those things can be hidden between walls and stuff so that's even more difficult
I don't know if this idea was suggested, but I think it would be kind of cool to be able to maybe add glowstone after adding a trim to give it a faint glow or something(idk just a random thought)
Ooo I really really like that!
Maybe glow ink for leather armor?
@Ezon Plays WHAT ARE THOOOOSE!?!?!!
@Mya Kuza I could see Glowing Ink sacks as another viable option.
or glow ink sac thats kinda useless
Honestly love the fact that some are ridiculously rare. Allows for fantastic super late game exploration.
This is a very good addition, 1. Its customisable and it looks very cool
2. This could be used in servers as a way of defining groups or maybe in private friend servers as well.
3. makes netherite harder to get,therefore grinders arent as scary
That a great idea, its like a tribe or group insignia
Yeah especially on bedrock since we don’t have banner shields.
Omg! I remember suggesting the ability to use the smithing table to add dye trims to armours when they were asking what they should do with the block. I thought it would be a great way to express yourself (since most of your skin was being covered) and without losing clarity of what armour you were wearing. Cool to see something similar being added :]
I like how the Smithing table feels much more finished in this, seeing as how just having the one use is a little weird.
Also, I kinda wish there were some minor buffs with these, like adding a Netherite one will add a tiny armor bonus, or emerald granting some bonus with villager trading, or having a full set with a gold trim to de-agro piglins. Or a little treat for Mumbo, having the redstone trim effect a special redstone detection block at varying levels...
Also wondering if Elytra will be receiving this...
@totalNERD Oh yeah. We currently can't improve the armour like that. And expensive materials should definitely be worth something more. So I see where you're coming from.
I also like the idea of a gold trim inflicting a certain response from the piglins.
Tbf it wouldn't really make sense if the piglins are attacking you despite the fact that all of your iron armour is covered in golden trims.
@barm barm • 52 years ago I wouldn't make it OP or meta, just something to make putting an expensive material on an inexpensive armor worthwhile.
Like if you put Netherite on Leather.
@totalNERD That is a nice suggestion. I like the redstone idea, because that would provide a lot of potential.
However, in my opinion, that really complicates everything a lot, for the armour trim feature. It easily beats all of the other features because of how powerful and mega-mega it is.
Right now, it's just some customisation. Just like the banner on shields. And it's quite simple yet fun.
@Vanukas Holy shit that PFP LMFAO
I hope the elytra gets something nice
There are two things I think that should be added to this: echo shards should be able to be used for trims, and Elytra should be able to have patterns applied to them through banner patterns. However, I think this is a really great change overall.
@Aetheriox Actually any player who had a mojang account has a cape lol
@MsaoceR what with the vanilla cape? i didnt get it. if youre talking about migration cape, anyone after the migration occured (quite a lot of people) didnt get it, and those who didnt migrate also didnt get it. theres enough people who dont have capes. plus, you dont have to use the banner on your elytra, its a customization option, not a requirement
@Aetheriox Almost everyone got a cape recently
@king_nubert yo tell MOJANG that
@Henry Ash having the cape override the trim isn't really an issue since a player can just turn off their cape if they want to use the trims.
the fact that you can duplicate the upgrade AND templates makes me feel a WHOLE lot better about this change. I have a lot of my main world explored, so it's gonna take a while to find any of these as it stands.
Same, that's more then likely why they added the duplication feature in which is very nice of them to think of the players who play on their worlds forever and everything is basically explored
i really like the netherite change. it makes players feel like the netherite is really rare
I will definitely be making a datapack that gives buffs depending on the color of trim you use.
It would be nice it would be vanilla but eh, Mojang have been lacking of decisive moves ik certain areas, like armor. Netherite add and now trims are great, but trims could be greater

I think it's cool how the templates are in structures. Not only is armor now customizable, but I imagine it would be more intentional. However, for some of these, like the woodland mansion and jungle temple, it's a bit too rare. Desert temple and ocean monument seem pretty balanced though.
I think it’s kinda cool how ridiculously rare they are, it gives you a goal for post-ender dragon
I love how the trims actually encourage people to do exploration because they're so unique.
@Cero samee thought it was a mod as well
@ItsMeOlegario how does something being cosmetic mean its useless/bad?
@Blazy Poo they take ideas from different popular mods so I wouldn't be surprised
@Blazy Poo That's what everybody says about every new snapshot, over time people will get used to it
@ItsMeOlegario
Tell me, who hurt you?
What did they do that made you act this way?
This isn't normal behavior. You need some help man.
I am a HUGE fan of this, giving us things to hunt for in the generated structures is amazing. I am so so happy about this!!
Making it harder to upgrade to netherrite is fine in theory, but with the current system it could really screw over multiplayer. People raid the bastions close by, so you end up having to travel thousands of blocks to find one. Or if they have a world boarder, there would be a finite amount of them, which would lead to the few people that *do* have them being able to charge insane amounts of diamonds for 1
@Booklat1 For multiplayer servers with world borders all you need is to get a small group of people together, raid every single bastion to get the smithing upgrade, and then you're the only people who have them. Then they own who can and can't have netherite, and they don't even need to give out the templates to give other people netherite armor, instead you'd have to give them your armor to upgrade to netherite and then you'd get it back. So yes, very easy to get a monopoly on netherite without ever having to grind every single piece of ancient debris.
Thanks Mojang :D #sarcasm.
It would make sense if they could be a rare/master level/expensive trade from Armorer villagers, or maybe Wandering Traders could occasionally have them. That way, there's a renewable (but still somewhat difficult) way to obtain them.
Meh, i doubt any one group could get an absolute monopoly on templates. And since they can be cloned that is absolutely necessary for this to work.
@witha clearly you underestimate how greedy some people can be
well they'd charge just 7 diamonds cause that's how much you need to craft one
It's good that you can clone the templates since they are pretty hard to find. They should make them a tad more common especially since it's not really an upgrade but just a visual thing. I think these could be good for online things like creating armor with certain trims for guilds or whatnot.
It would also be nice to have more structures in deserts and jungles and on/under seas. And not all needs to be innovative to be a good addition, Mojang...
I like the netherite change, but the other templates seem overly expensive
I personally appreciate the change of netherite gear, since it seemed too easy to get for being so overpowered.
This is the closest thing we can get to custom armor in vanilla. I love it
@Red Frost damn, you just ruined this guys opinions smart move there Red Frost
@JailerGamer Yeah I agree, I've basically said that a few times
@SethXB Yes they are ugly af but atleast it adds more material slots for armor and allows you to have custom textures for every trim
10 materials × 11 trims × 5 armor types = 550 then 550 - 33 = 517 for no diamonds, gold, & iron self trim then add 5 for untrimmed = 522 per each body slot & +111 for the helms cause turtle so thats 633 helm × 522^3 bodys = 90,035,798,189 ~90.03 billion non-leather armor combos but if we go back & +1 for undyed leather & +5,713,438 for possible dyed leathers to each body slot we get 5714072×5713961^3=1,066,000,783,473,511,195,945,667,032 ~1.06 octillion possible armor combos
I actually really like this change. It makes the netherite process more difficult, and you use diamond more, and more of them. I enjoy this change as before, it was ridiculously easy to get diamonds and then fairly easy to get to netherite. The caves and cliffs update basically hands you diamond armor on a silver platter. You can now go caving for 5 minutes in a large cavern and get a few diamonds. It used to be caving for a long time or strip mining forever. Now, you look around, mine the few diamonds that are very visible, and then move on. Not to mention that technically strip mining is extremely buffed as at the bottom of the world the diamond rates are about doubled what they used to be. Getting full diamond used to be an achievement, now it's a chore to get to netherite.
However, now you need way more diamonds for netherite armor. From 24 to 45 for netherite, and it makes diamonds more valuable as you need them for customization. I really like how now there is a challenge in the game again. All this customization is now locked behind end game items. Right now in Minecraft, there are no end game items. Yes, there are items at the end of the game, but lets be honest, they are too easy to find to be considered "end game."
You go to the end for half an hour and you have an elytra. Just bring a few stacks of blocks and you are set. Netherite, mine with an efficiency 5 pickaxe for an hour. Efficiency 5 pickaxe, make an xp farm. Enderman farms are easy, and the new small guardian farms are too. Getting to the end is easy, now you trade sticks for enderpearls instead of having to wait and get lucky and pray you get an enderman, then pray some more that it drops a pearl. The most difficult thing about getting to the end, is blaze powder. Blaze's are very easy to defeat if you have a cheap shield, and yet finding a netherfortress can easily be the most difficult thing about getting to the end. Not to mention the dragon fight has gotten so easy to do. Defeating the enderdragon used to be an event. You would prepare your entire world's gametime for it. Potions, arrows, enchants. Now you bring some snowballs, beds, boats, and water. Swords and arrows are backup. Also on servers, it's only an event when there is a challenge, like only wooden swords and a stack of dirt per player. That's how easy it's gotten
One final thing which I think has been made easy, but ties into why I like these new upgrades, is finding a good base location. You used to travel forever trying to find a place that looks nice, and that you would call home. If you never did that, you probably settled for plains, which is fine, and finding a plains biome isn't too difficult still, but now, thanks to caves and cliffs, you can travel for 5 minutes and have a beautiful sight in front of you to build you base. So now, in modern day Minecraft, every single thing in the game that used to be difficult, and worthy of being it's own event, is now handed to you on a silver platter. You have to exaust very little effort to achieve all of these. If you are the average player, you could probably get all of this done within a few days to a week. Verteran players or just players that are very good at the game could get this done in 1-2 days. Maybe even less.
So this is another reason why I like these armor customizers. You actually have to do something and put in the hours. I think a 4ish percent is perfect. You want these? You better get exploring. This adds the exploration back into the game, and will probably take you a long time to collect them all. If you are on a server right now and see someone is full netherite, you obviously know they have been playing for a bit, but that's it. Just a bit. A few days tops to get what they have. But now, if you see someone with armor trims, especially the deep dark ones, end city's, or the ultra rare woodland mansion one, you know that they are hardcore players that have put the time and effort into this game. Getting the armor you want will take a long time, and lots of exploring. And I like that. Minecraft has been slowly removing the challenge out of the game. This adds back what Minecraft is about. There is now a challenge, and it adds the exploring that the devs have been pushing for. Now there is an incentive to go and explore.
Honestly, the only real challenge that has been added recently is the deep dark, and even then it's really not that hard as long as you have some wool. And the only possibly unintentional hard thing to find is cactus. A cactus. This might just be me, but deserts have gotten ridiculously hard to find. You used to travel for 5-10 minutes and find one. Now I find myself travelling for hours with nothing. I have to pull up a seed map to find the closest one, and it's always 5-10k blocks away, and the next closest after that is 20-30k in the opposite direction. I tend to completely beat the game, get an elytra, get max enchanted netherite armor, before I find a desert and a stupid cactus. God forbid I want to dye something green.
All in all, these new armor trims are just as rare as they should be, if anything they should be rarer. The devs have been trying to push exploring and this is it. This adds the exploration, and it also adds a challenge to the game again. You don't want to travel to 2 structures and have these things handed to you like everything else right? I don't. It will be annoying to get these, but I think it's a good choice.
I really like that this can lead to great customization, I sorta thought half of these sets looked ugly- but when you consider that you can just have a normal set with one trimmed piece of armor, or just choose many combination to make a pleasant to looking at set- it's really not bad. you can make a set look ugly, but that's the natural downside of giving plenty of options/customization, so if anything, it means they are on the right track.(let's just hope they make it more common- it'd be perfect if bartering with Armorer or Leatherworker gave access to at least a 3rd of the potential templates. giving you some that are as rare and hard to acquire as bartering/farming for mending, or a little less time consuming... and making you have to actively explore/search for the rest.)
this is so cool, I hope they make certain biomes more common, so that I can actually find a jungle temple for once. Also I think it would have been cool to make this system closer to that of banners, where you can overlap multiple smaller decals and elements to make a wholly unique banner
There's not that much room for detail on there as is. Any more patterns would make it too cluttered and I'm not sure it would look very good.
I would like to see the ability to add items as decorations to the helmet. You could use the templates to do it. Items like feathers, tridents, blocks. Kind of like an item frame on the sides or front of the helmet maybe the back also. You could also put it on the shoulders. This could also be an easy way to mark teams.
This update is the most well thought thing I've seen from Minecraft in ages - it was probably relatively simple to add to game, encourages to explore existing content again, is actually very fun as a concept, 10/10 from me
It would be cool if you could also use these on the elytra. That pair of gray wings could really use some better customization.
@NubexCape you mean?
Capes already do this, so the obvious solution is to add more accessible capes.
Yes!
@2huhyjacked read my other comment, u goofy ahh
I really love this change! I am fond of being rewarded cosmetics for your hard effort, It gives you a reason for you to grind. Definitely one of my favorite changes they've added in a few updates.
As a veteran, im glad to see emerald can be used as an armour in one way or another.
It would honestly be really cool if when you used a full set of the same trim it added a effect. Effectively adding classes to Minecraft, for example the one you find in the ocean can give you water breathing. Maybe the different mineral you use to color it can slightly alter the effects to make it even more crazy
I'm really glad they're giving diamonds more uses. It felt like diamonds were forgotten about, with the last thing you could make with them being enchantment tables from over a decade ago.
I think for the enchanted versions of trims, the actual trim itself should glow, almost a pulsing effect or something, instead of the classic shine.
That would look awesome, especially with netherite armor.
@Silverish yeah those glow, but the drowned ones are really dim i think.
@Silverish im pretty sure drowneds have emissive textures only in bedrock
Imagine dyed enchantments too, so you can choose the color of your glow.
@a wise man and probably won't require very difficult coding if rendered in the same way as glowing eyes are done for endermen, spiders and drowned (do these glow? I'm forgetting if these glow)
SO happy to see "surprise updates" come back. I remember being so excited whenever I opened Minecraft on my Xbox 360 and saw that an update was due. There was an added sense of exploration when I didn't know what was added. I'd look forward to them! Now I know every single detail and every single bug. I may avoid these videos (showing off snapshots) now for the express purpose of reliving my childhood!
This is such an interesting new feature to add, i like it but i probably am never going to use it outside of Creative mode simply because finding these things is probably going to be impossible for me, let alone finding the ones i want and having the necessary materials to craft them. Still, a fun idea in theory.
This is a fantastic feature! I wish they added another reason to do it outside the visual appeal. Even if it was something small like an extra half defense point or even an effect boost like swiftness, jump boost or regen if you have the full set (Simular to botw)
@The Bread Bunny fair point
People would go for the strongest boost and ignore the weaker effects, missing the point of a cosmetic feature
Armor trims is a feature I've wanted to see in Minecraft for SO long, hopefully we can detect trims with commands.
I honestly really like that they made netherite harder to get! Feels a lot harder & more satisfying to achieve
@64bit_link this is still a snapshot, maybe they’ll make netherite better or make the bastions spawn more with better loot rates
I just don't think netherite really offers enough of a benefit to justify the amount of work you will now have to put in to get it. Besides tool durability, the difference between diamond and netherite is miniscule.
Finally Mojang is giving us a reason to go look for all these structures! I've been waiting for so long to have an update that encourages finding structures. Needless to say, this was an extremely refreshing snapshot
This may be a bit of an issue seeing that I found pretty much all the structures for around 5,000 blocks in over world and nether. Finding another Stronghold, Bastion, and Mansion after finding several will be a pain, despite two of those having actual maps. Also, I've been in the same world for 4 years and only found one jungle temple so that will be an even bigger problem
@Grey Area What do you mean forcing.......you don't have to find any of these to complete the game, if anything it's extra incentive for people who already like to explore
@Grey Area it's literally vanities, not crucial for game progressions, nobody forcing anybody
@Kiz_ Agreed.
@Grey Area dawg these are cosmetic... there's nothing forcing you 😭
I honestly think that it’s really cool, and makes the netherite armor and tools more valuable. And thus change also encourages more exploring to fing the template you want.
Little unfortunate how rare they are, but hopefully chances will be altered with upcoming snapshots.
I love it, and I think the potential for factions and storytelling on servers is very cool. I can imagine some immortal faction obsessed with cheating death wearing gold armor with emerald trim, to emulate the totem of undying
I think with this update it leaves leather amour behind a bit. You would think due to its customizability in the current game it would get an update involving the loom similar to the banner system. In current Minecraft one of the main appeals of leather amour is the fact you can dye it and it would be unfortunate if that is lost.
They should absolutely add like minor things to it so it can be for something other than appearances.
Like with the coastal one you’d have better visibility in water. The ender one you could have slower falling for instance. Certain ones would give slightly better loot tables, etc
With materials you could have better things too, like imagine having copper and being conducive in regular rain. Having Diamond gives extra toughness, emeralds better trade properties, etc
I hope that mobs are able to spawn with armor trims on their armor sometimes, that would be really neat to see
@John Cena Gaming mobs can spawn with diamond armour, incredibly rare, then the drop chance
had an idea, what if you find a zombie wearing enchanted gold armor having the ward template and netherite color?
Skeleton swag
@SCP-999 even the zombie have more drip than me 😢
"Damn that zombie is drippy as fuck"
I do like how they changed the enchantment glint to make the details more visible; however, I still prefer how it looks in the Vanilla Tweaks resource packs. I hope they make it a bit closer to that one so that certain armor trims won't clash with the purple glint too much.
I'd like to see more than just trimming. It's cool, but I'd also like to put feathers, horns, wings, cloaks, etc onto my armour. And maybe have different styles of armour, like gothic or japanese (with creative liberties to make them distinct)
Bro I love this change. Now we can customize our armor without having to use leather. Best update, 10/10
I think if netherite becomes more difficult to obtain, it should also bear more advantages. For example, I think the netherite pickaxe and axe should give you te possibility to insta-mine deepslate and logs, respectively, when paired with the beacon effect Haste II.
I feel like the trim should give the armor more durability and/or a little more protection based on whatever material you used. It’s more expensive so it should have more than just a visual benefit.
I would love that for the elytra. Imagine having different wings, rather than just the regular grey one. Especially if you don't have a cape.
@1ts3rick didn't ask
@The Cheesecake Overlord sucks to suck
@1ts3rick wait how lol
@WolfFire 6214 tiktok is killing my fellow man’s attention span bro couldn’t even finish reading a full sentence
@Rex Hannum At least the first guy didn't like his own comment, rip
Colors, exploration incentives, collection achievements, additional diamond use, another thing to share - I absolutely LOVE this feature addition!
...
It does still need some work however with the rates based on structure rarity and how many potential chests those have. Not sure about netherite being required for black though, that seems reeeally expensive compared to the others. I feel coal would fit better.
This is such a good way to make netherite more significant and bring life to armor in the game
I personally feel indifferent about the change to Netherite. I like the added challenge to finding it, but I don't feel anything else. I do enjoy the Armor Trimming itself though. Really brings out more personal for others.
I actually like this change, however I like the thought that different items and dyes, and more armor upgrade through these runes aswell as enchantments
I hope they make some of these easier to find. Finding a woodland mansion is hard enough but not being guaranteed a stencil is a little rough
The fact that they made the smithing table much more useful gives me hope that they're working on the fletching table too!
@Donke267 They could bend the definition into just ranged combat/marksmanship, which can be accomplished in Minecraft by shooting fireworks with a crossbow.
I saw someone suggest that they make the fletching table into a pyrotechnics table that lets you craft fireworks more easily. (Still being called the fletching table, though, due to it being the workstation for fletchers.) And, like the loom and smithing table, I believe it should give you some kind of preview as to what the firework design you’re making will look like before crafting it.
still hoping that they add the quiver
This also provides a framework for further gear upgrade or customization
Tbh the only thing I could see it being used for is adding potions to arrows without needing them to be lingering
I think mojang literally forgot about the fletching table.
It’s a really good change, especially the templates for netherite armour. I do wonder if it’s worth a balance change for netherite, maybe an upgrade?
Loving the new changes to netherite progression. Gotta say snout is my favorite chest plate trim.
The low 4.8% would make more sense if the armour trims had uses beyond cosmetics. Maybe they could provide permanent status effects or exclusive/improved enchantments, or enhancements of some sort, corresponding to where you found them
When I saw this on the Minecraft launcher I was ecstatic knowing that it would influence the reasons why I look for specific structures. This is a great addition
I like the idea of netherite gear being harder to obtain, but with it being such a small upgrade to diamond they would have to buff it quite drastically for it to be worth the effort. As for the trims, if feel like they will be most useful in team based minigames to better visually differentiate between each team without having to see the nametag.
@amogu but it also makes it MUCH more valuable
@amogu Yeah, what a joke.
Netherite tools should be buffed in some way to compensate for the added difficulty. I personally want to see deepslate instant-mining for an Efficiency V netherite pickaxe with Haste II - you can't instant-mine it in vanilla at the moment, which is a shame.
Nether is armor is so unnecessary anyways, it’s more of a trophy item in my opinion.
the difference between diamond and netherite is huge in a pvp environment, which is where it matters. In a survival vanilla, there is no point in upgrading your armor, because there is no threat that will put you in danger.
netherite itself doesn't make sense, so it is better to leave it as in the snapshot. the only way to fix this is to make the game harder but we already know that won't happen
I think it would be interesting if you could add gold to an amour and have the piglins ignore you as if you were wearing a full piece.
This is neat! I've never been much of an explorer when it comes to Minecraft, but this might just change that. I do hope they adjust the loot table values so that you have a higher chance of finding the templates in the rarer structures. I do NOT fancy having to locate tons of Strongholds and Woodland Mansions to get these things.
It would be cool if the different materials that you add to armor would add perks. Like netherite would reduce knockback, emerald would give a bonus for trading, etc
I actually like the change. Netherite was actually quite easy to obtain, it just took a bit of time. Now its actually HARD, as clearing bastions is not very easy
This is so cool and it allows a lot of ores to have more uses for the players.
I would have never expected this level of customization for armor from mojang, it’s really cool
@Bananko nope they lazy
@Bananko the nether and caves update were 2.5 updates out of 12 years. Thats not exactly something to brag about. Im sure what the other guy was saying was something as basic as colored trim on armor taking 12 years to get added is cheaping out. Maybe you don't realize it but the devs for this game have been lacking in their updates compared to when Mojang wasn't owned by Microsoft
@Srotiikk Modders back then were insane lol
@Srotiikk my Man modders are creating a lot more mobs than 1 in 1 week
@Bananko Also imagine defending a big team as Mojang adding 1 mob per year whilst modders create them in less than a week lol
It would be interesting if each template or color material had a small effect, like Gold can increase speed.
They really should add some kind of effect that each trim grants. They don’t even need to have each effect have another magnitude depending on the armor type it is applied to. Plus, I think the templates should have a durability to them like how am anvil does, that way they aren’t incredibly precious and painful to find but also aren’t a thing you only need one of for each.
Really cool. Armor looking the same or doodoo is the main reason I play with cosmetic mods that get rid of the armor or replace it. Or with texture packs. The greatest effect of this it also gives a reason to explore some of the structures you'd sometimes just ignore. Hopefully they kept along more with time or different mechanics to customize your armor with. But keep it cosmetic. Some people have said they'd like for trims to add traits or stats but nah thanks. Then a meta would form and everyone would just have the exact same look again.
I really hope they can somehow incorporate oxidized copper into this
I think it whould be better if the different colors whould be dyes. It just feels weird using a netherrite ingot to make it dark red/black. Also I think the templates should have a better spawning rate in chests. + They should update some structures. Jungle temples need a big overhaul and the pillager tower also could use a rework (because 1 chest and its pretty uncommon) (maybe make it a rare mob drop like 1 in 2000. Just so you can eventually farm one if lucky)
I really like this new armour stuff, i can already see me trading different things with friends on our server. It whould be hard to get many veriants in singleplayer but I think this will be a cool new feature for multiplayer.
I like that diamonds have increased in value again. With the rise of villager trading halls you barely need to mine them anymore. The customization aspect looks really cool too
Yeah, seven diamonds to copy a template is a fantastic use of those piles and piles of late-game diamonds that just sit around gathering dust.
This is absolutely crazy what Mojang has done. I can’t wait for 1.20 to come out
Thought about this about 10 years ago and hoped for it to come in the game im glad its finally here
Just learned about this.
Pretty excited.
Great way for factions to identify another member without a shield to tell
I've been saying this for a while, but I really feel like it's gonna happen at some point now. I don't think Netherite is going to be the only upgrade for diamond gear. I feel like we're eventually going to get more types of upgrades that have different functions and uses. Maybe there's one that makes you faster, but it's slightly weaker than diamond, or one that allows you to breath underwater indefinitely. I feel like it has a LOT of potential.
I legitimately thought this was an old April Fools joke until I saw the upload date. This looks absolutely awesome! and it gives people a better reason to explore & search for more niche locations such as the Jungle Temple. I absolutely love this!
Edit: It also gives more uses to resources such as amethyst, which I’m all for!
@Cero fair
@Bøxed netherite can't be found like diamonds or iron, they can be found in a bastion though. Ancient debris is the thing used to make netherite, as well as gold.
@Bøxed no I said netherite ISNT mineable, which is why they added the smithing table. It dosent make sense to do the same thing for diamond.
@The Worm netherite can be mined?
Amazing update, making diamonds and every single ore have one more use, including amethyst, I just wish it didn't require that many diamonds to clone them, instead of 7 it could be 5
I think it might be a good idea to have the rarities of finding these templates be not too high (as in not too rare) to encourage exploring to find more of them over duplicating them. I mean, what's more interesting gameplay: traveling across the land, battling mobs, raiding temples and looting chests, or spending a few hours strip mining? Downside is that for worlds that you want to keep using for years through different updates, it's best to limit your exploring to some extent so you don't have to go as far for new features.
I wish that the Sniffers bushy back can put a hidden chest inside, I also wanted to see Sniffer can attack too!
I love this so much, I never utilise diamond as its so easy to level 30 enchant a diamond pick and just start blasting at the netherack for an hour or two till I have full netherite
I think it would be cool if each smithing template would give small individual buffs which gets stronger when you apply a stronger ore. For example one pattern gives you absorption. When you apply gold its very low absorption. If you apply diamond or netherite you get the strongest absorption.
I'm honestly super excited to see the Hermits start to play around with the different trims. I do wonder if any of you will be madlad enough to open a shop with them though. Doc is probably the only hermit with the diamonds to start duplicating them in mass.
They’ll probably start a new season
Don't forget Mumbo is still the richest on Hermitcraft as of now. He just needs to come back and open the secret redstone vaults he left Grian in charge of.
It’s cool I like the idea, they’re definitely heading in the right direction for longevity of servers/worlds with friends but the trims need to have some sort of traits tied to them, not just cosmetics. It doesn’t really give people that yearning feeling to pursue the best trims/traits.
(People will always find a way to speed run items/games)
Would be nice to add a potion of invisibility as a material to make the armor invisible while equipped.
It’s expensive, but that’s good! Diamonds are a lot more common in chests and such, but not much functionality, so while you can always use villagers to get armor, this new function for diamonds is nice and I feel like it helps make diamonds more valuable
I think being able to put chainmail under leather armour would be cool. It would add a use to chainmail but also you wouldn’t know if someone is wearing chainmail or leather in a pvp setting
It will so cool if the add upgrade tokens for other armour. Maybe you could upgrade leather with an iron block to get fur lined iron armour allowing you to walk on powder snow and maybe they can add a buff where it’s more protective against negative splash potions. Maybe you could upgrade gold with a diamond block to diamond armour that doesn’t annoy piglins etc.
I think this may be my favorite change in a while. So many of these structures have been really wanting for unique loot.
@Eric E ok let’s say I have one and choose to copy it 3 times so I can have a full set I would need 21 diamonds on top of the 24 I already used to make the full set, so to be blinged out and protected I would need 45 diamonds that is just under double the diamonds for normal armor. Honestly for the one to make netherite I agree that’s fine but not for cosmetics. It’s like if the banner patterns broke every time I wanted my shield to look nice
@M E But you can clone/craft more once you find one. Not an issue to do multiple trims.
I just think that the template should not be consumed or it should have a derability I mean I don’t want to create or find 4 templates to put a trim on my diamond armor I am going to lose into the void or lava at some point
I like the netherite upgrade change, mainly becasue diamonds have become inflated in recent years. You get too many too easily
As someone who is not a big fan of how fast people get netherite now on servers i definitely love the idea of netherite armor and tools being harder to make.
This doesn’t feel vanilla. BUT IT’S STILL FREAKING AWESOME
I overall really like this. I feel like open ended games like Minecraft have the same difficulty issue as Pokémon games, where besides larger changes or self imposed challenges there aren’t many ways to make them more difficult besides just making it take more time, which isn’t really any more challenging
I absolutely love this because it would make things so much more interesting when I'm playing with my friends
Echo shards should add a sort of glowing teal trim to it, like how spider eyes glow in the dark. It’d give another use for the item since it’s used are currently really limited to crafting 1 item
i feel like it'd have to be a very vibrant glow, cuz those things are oddly way too rare
@Cinnay Also it's not really useful on Java since most people have a map mod which shows death location or a grave mod
Maybe glow sacs should allow leather to glow, too
Great idea as the echo shard is pretty plain at the moment.
Considering the way to upgrade from Diamond to Netherite now uses a unique item with its icon noticeably distinct from the trim templates, I wonder if this means they might add other functional Upgrade Templates later?
I love the nether it’s change forcing us into bastions and kind of expanding netherites lore, but the armor trims should be way easier to get
What if there was an iron armor upgrade that utilized copper, in a similar vein to diamond and netherite. Maybe this new set could have a special effect that works in a similar way to an enchantment, but completely unique to the armor.
Its definitely gonna take some learning but a good change. Diamond armor is slowly being forgotten.
I feel that certain templates should have special effects if you have a full set, albeit I think it’s not that important but something other than enchantments.
I don't like how the patterns get used up, but I do like the 7-diamond cost. I'd prefer if the ones you found were "patterns" (like banner patterns) and they can only be used to craft the disposable templates (which would return the pattern). This way once you've found a pattern you don't accidentally lose it because you forgot to duplicate it.
@Mac well that is understandable some parts should have higher chance of obtaining itom, but still should be one use only, point of cosmetics is show off, you can go to frnds look what I got and they wont have it since its gone
@BhavBot kind sir, RNG is not in my favor. On average, my Diamond pickaxe will break before I find a single Diamond while mining.
@PigwhaleGaming then you sir, are not mining correctly. Use beds at y 15 and you can get a full set and more in day if you play all day or maybe if you play for like 2 hours every day you can get that in like 3 days.
@NEWGHOST9 you are correct, but if you find it it should feel special it should feel like you earned it.
