Make Armor Trims have Special Effects

The idea of adding more customization into Minecraft is much-needed, but it's too much effort to just make your armor more aesthetic. Upgrade tablets would have more value if the trims had certain qualities, and here are some ideas.

gold trim armor: have same effect as gold armor, making piglins neutral towards the player
emerald trim: slight discount in villager trading
lapis trim: better luck or discounts in enchanting
nether quartz trim: more exp gain from killing
redstone trim: more exp gain from mining, smelting
amethyst trim: permanent night vision
diamond trim: permanent haste 1
iron trim: permanent resistance 1
copper trim: higher chance to get item drops from drowned, etc. (don't really know for this one)
netherite trim: permanent fire resistance, knockback -1

Of course the listed effects are just ideas that I would think would fit each ore, and more thought should be put into each one. Armor effects would give greater incentive for the player to seek out upgrade tablets!

It might be a little too overpowered if you could mix and match effects like fire resistance and night vision, it might have to be nerfed by the player having to use the same trim throughout the full armor set to receive the effect.
