(Java and Bedrock) Redstone trimmed armor can power Redstone devices.

You know, armor trims are just for cosmetics. But what if they were more than that? It would be cool for redstone trimmed armor to power redstone devices around you. That would be cool for an entrance to a base or something, where other people (unless they also have redstone trimmed armor) can’t enter. Think of all of the possibilities!

    They're cosmetic for balance reasons. None should have any advantages over others.

    I believe that trims should be implemented as a reforging of equipment, improving some characteristics at the expense of others.
    For example, we could reforge a sword into a saber or a sickle, changing the attack speed and damage. Or add a visor to the helmet, improving protection, but worsening visibility. Or add stiffeners to the armor, increasing strength at the expense of protection.

    If you did want to have the armor power redstone, you would need to trim each piece with a full block of redstone and be wearing the full suit. And that full suit maybe should be of the same type of trim, and maybe even all the same materiel of armor. In other words, it should be very difficult to were it would be more a luxury than a convenience.
