TrimResonance

TrimResonance turns Minecraft's armor trim system from a cosmetic feature into a progression system. Every trim material and pattern you craft and wear grants unique, stackable abilities find the right combinations and you'll feel it.

Built on the idea from BetterTrims by Bawnorton. TrimResonance takes that concept and adds its own dual-system on top, with unique material and pattern combinations.

⚙️ How It Works

Two independent systems run at the same time:

System What It Does Activation Material Effects Core passive ability from the trim material 1 piece minimum Pattern Effects Secondary ability from the trim pattern 2 pieces minimum

Both systems run at the same time. A full Gold set with Sentry pattern gives you the Solar Bonus and the armor buff together.
