Problem description

Armor trims are added in 1.19.4 for currently cosmetic purpose. However, they are quite annoying in requiring multiple identical pieces, and providing no bonuses, and have selected few kinds of trim materials.

Suggested solution

Adding a trim slot, which consume a compatible material and maybe a smithing template to apply a level 1 modifier, but require multiple armor pieces to be trimmed at once for non attribute characteristics, or halved attribute bonus. It can work on slimy and traveler armor.

Alternatives considered

Making the armors compatible with vanilla trims, and let another mod do the additional effect.
Making the material purely cosmetic.
Convert a trim template into a nbt based cast item.

Checked the FAQ

Armor trim is already supported, it's a slotless modifier. Works just like vanilla trim.

They are purely cosmetic by design. We have plenty of non-cosmetic modifiers, don't need a loot exclusive non-cosmetic
