Turn Minecraft armor trims into powerful gameplay upgrades.
TrimEffects transforms Minecraft's 18 armor trim patterns into a progression system with unique effects, matching-set bonuses, PvP rewards, and powerful Ascended armor.
Choose your trim pattern, specialize your armor, and fight other players to obtain Trim Remnants. But be careful: powerful armor comes with risks.
Features
-
18 Unique Trim Effects: Give every armor trim pattern its own gameplay effect.
-
Armor Specialization: Match trim patterns across your armor pieces to strengthen your bonuses.
-
Trim Ascension: Use Trim Remnants to Ascend a complete matching armor set beyond its normal power.
-
PvP Rewards: Defeat other players to earn Trim Remnants, with repeated kill protection to discourage farming.
-
Custom Item Descriptions: View trim effects, progression, and Ascension information through item lore.
-
Built for Server Customization: Designed as a server-side PaperMC plugin.
