Trims - A missed opportunity

I'm personally disappointed in trim. I wish it had more utility because, as it stands, the only people who will seek it are those who play multiplayer or make content so they can show it to their friends and viewers. This addition has no real value to solo players.

Trim could have some value to solo players if trims could have set effects (when you get a complete set you get some kind of new ability). For example: silent trim set could instill fear in monsters and make them avoid you. A rare trim set in end ship chests could allow you to warp to ender chests that you've placed in any realm. A trim could be a super rare drop from killing warden and ithe set makes you invulnerable to fire damage. A trim found only in blacksmith chests could allow you add 1 additional level on all level enchantments and exceed the anvil cost limit (or access new enchantments). The mansion trim could double loot drops in new chests opened. The outpost trim could have arrow deflection. The stronghold trim set could give you the ability "iron fist" that allows you to mine things that normally require an iron pickaxe with punches (and make punches do more damage. Chests in mineshafts could have trim that allows one to craft Redstone with most blocks to make the whole block conductive to other blocks modified the same way. The trim was such a huge missed opportunity.

    If you are going to say "no" you should explain why you feel that way. "No" is not a valid argument. It's just rude and dismissive. Sure my recommendations may be unbalanced or overpowered but the core of my argument is that trim should have some utility so solo players feel the need to search for them too. The whole trim addition to me just seems like a low effort novelty in 1.20 that'll be old news in a month or two. If trim sets had utility people might feel compelled to gather them all and make a netherite set for each one, which not only increases QOL in the endgame but vastly expands the course of endgame progression; many sets of netherite armor versus one.

    I disagree. However, the armor trims would be a lot better if you could apply a second armor trim. Maybe a few of the armor trims could have some purpose such as gold allowing you to trade with piglins.

    No me agrada la idea de agregar habilidades por las plantillas, entiendo que no tienen gran utilidad más que para verse bien pero no creo que sea necesario agregarle más facilidad a las cosas, además de que que pasa si tengo por ejemplo el recorte de la selva, del end, la fortaleza y una bastion en la armadura, si se combinan las habilidades lo veo muy desequilibrado y si se restan no le encontraría razón para obtener la habilidad si solo sirve poco, si quiero la habilidad tendría que utilizar la armadura completa con ese recorte aunque no me guste la combinación? Esa idea no me agrada, también digamos que se puede combinar, se tendría que más bien buscar formas que no estorben por ejemplo el que hace que se asusten los mobs es útil pero si en mi armadura tengo el que los asusta y quiero matar mobs por no se va a poder rápido o fácil porque se alejarían, yo pienso que la mejor idea sería que más bien con cada mineral que utilices le des algo por ejemplo si le pones oro a la armadura los pliglins no se enojan, pero no tantos cambios.

    That's exactly what I'm wanting: for trims to have some purpose (QOL, extra stats, new abilities, etc) beyond just something to look at. Because solo players don't have anyone to show off to so the allure of braving many chests in an ancient city and wearing the silent armor as a badge of honor is lost on the solo player. Trim is worthless to me as a solo player. There is no one around for me toward whom I can flaunt my peacock feathers.

    hello! i disagree with this because :   the trims were made for customization only, mostly as a ide quest, and some of them are pretty rare. and the game would be more boring , cause its too easy.  Thank you for reading this!

    I like this idea -- I feel like this would make trims so much more worth it, and actually gives a reason to look for them.

     Additionally, I think golden trims should count as golden armor when it comes to piglins.

    no, i disagree

    the entire point of armor trims is vanity and customization, if the trims all gave buffs it would just be about the buffs.

    the other purpose of armor trims is to easily differentiate between players in multiplayer, which would also become redundant as everybody would choose the same trims, since no matter how hard you try to balance the buffs, there would always be one stronger than the rest
