Reimagined Trims Mod

Reimagined Trims – Making Armor Customization Actually Matter

If you liked the idea of armor trims in Minecraft 1.20 but felt like they were more of a late-game flex than something you could realistically use while still progressing — Reimagined Trims totally gets you. This mod is part of the Legacies project, which aims to bring fresh ideas to modded Minecraft without losing that clean, vanilla-friendly feel. And honestly, it nails it.

What this mod does is rework the smithing template system by giving each armor trim its own unique, balanced duplication recipe. That means when you finally track down a cool-looking trim, you’re not stuck hoarding it for fear of losing it. Now you can actually duplicate and use those trims earlier in your world without breaking the game’s progression. It makes customizing your gear part of your adventure, not just an endgame cosmetic.

We can also appreciate that it leaves the Netherite Upgrade template recipe untouched — a smart move that keeps the high-end stuff feeling rare and valuable, while still opening up the style options for the rest of the game.

If you love the idea of giving your armor some personality without needing to beat the Warden or raid Bastions first, Reimagined Trims is one of those subtle but super satisfying mods you didn’t know you needed. It keeps things balanced, rewarding, and way more accessible. Definitely worth adding to your next world.
