🛡️ Visual Armor Trims 🎽
What is this?
This resource pack gives unique textures to armor trims in the game interface — exactly as they appear when equipped on a character.
In standard Minecraft, all decorative trim items have identical textures, differing only in color. This makes it impossible to distinguish, for example, a netherite chestplate with a "gold coast" trim from one with a "gold silence" trim. This modification solves that problem!
Below is a table of the new textures:
Example comparison between in-game appearance and interface:
How does it work?
To activate unique textures:
- On version 1.21.5+: Visual Armor Trims are available in official Minecraft! Download version 3.0 or higher.
- On version 1.21.3-1.21.4: These versions won't receive support for the feature. Updating to 1.21.5 is recommended.
- On version 1.21.2 and below: Client mods will be required. Compatibility details are provided below.
Compatibility with versions 1.21.2 and below
Supported mods and packs for versions 1.21.2 and below:
- Fabulously Optimized (recommended)
- CIT Resewn (requires pack version 2.1)
- Polytone (requires pack version 2.0)
Chime and OptiFine are not officially supported.
Compatibility table:
| CIT Type | 1.20.4 and below | 1.20.5-1.20.6 | 1.21-1.21.2 | 1.21.3-1.21.4 | 1.21.5 and above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official | unavailable | unavailable | unavailable | unavailable | latest |
| CIT Resewn | 1.1 | not supported | 2.1 with CIT Resewn v1.2.1+1.21 or above | not supported | not required |
| OptiFine | 1.0 | not supported | not supported due to paletted_permutations |
not supported | not required |
| Polytone | not supported | not supported | 2.0 with Polytone v2.4.10 or above | not supported | not required |
| Chime | not supported | not supported | not supported | not supported | not required |
Paletted permutations is a vanilla feature introduced in version 1.19.4 that breaks OptiFine CIT
On (Neo)Forge, for using the CIT Resewn version, you can try Sinytra Connector or Forge CIT, however these configurations haven't been tested. Polytone should work fine with NeoForge.
