I like how armor trims allow you to customize your armor a bit, but I want more customizability. Armor trims can already let us color portions of an armor piece, why not just let us color the entire armor? Introducing the Plating Template (name pending)!
Using this new smithing template, a piece of armor, and one of the 11 trim materials, the entire armor piece gets colored like that material (e.g. using an emerald on an iron chestplate will make the whole chestplate green).
The only real issue I could see with this is people in servers using it to trick others into thinking they have different armor (e.g. using diamonds on iron armor and making people think you have diamond armor). I do have some solutions for this however:
- 1. Have the materials that are already used for armor (iron, gold, diamond, netherite, and soon, copper) look noticably darker when used as plating. This should hopefully help even colorblind players recognize the difference between a full set of diamond armor and a full set of diamond-plated armor.
- 2. Lock this template to only diamond and netherite armor.
Some notes:
- Plating, like trimming, is purely cosmetic, so putting netherite plating on gold armor won't make it as strong as netherite.
- Plating will not override trims, they're separate. This way you can have, say, a diamond chestplate with redstone plating and an iron trim.
