"Oh hey! Armour Trims are in the game now!", or: How I Learned to Stop Waiting and Start Actually Using the Goddamn Snapshots.
Ok so you know how there's a new 1.20 snapshot thing out? Yeah, here's a post showcasing it.
First off, here's how they work;
The slot on the left (which is animated in-game, fading between the outline of a Smithing Template and a Netherite Upgrade) is for inserting... well, Smithing Templates and Netherite Upgrades, the middle-slot (which gains another animated icon when the first slot is filled; the former cycles between different slot-icons, while the latter cycles between various tools and armour-slots) is for tools, weapons and/or armour, and the third slot (cycles through the outlines of various rare materials) is where the nice materials go. The armour-stand on the right displays a preview of your item, but unfortunately doesn't allow you to rotate it.
The materials that can be used as trims are:
Nether Quartz
Amethyst Shards
Netherite Ingots
Copper Ingots
Iron Ingots
Gold Ingots
Diamonds
Redstone Dust
Lapis Lazuli
Emeralds
They can be applied to any armour-type except Leather, for obvious reasons (although I'm guessing you can probably apply trims to Leather using commands).
Anyway, let's look at all those designs!
Sentry
Very generic, but it makes sense since it's the first one listed and it looks kinda like the Trimmed Armour inventory texture.
Dune
Nice design; somehow feels appropriately deserty. The stomach-pattern makes me think of the trap-floor in Desert Temples.
Coast
Ehhh... again, kinda generic, but it probably goes well with other trim designs.
Wild
See above.
Ward
This design made me realise the design on Chiselled Deepslate is meant to be a silhouette of the Warden's head. I like it!
Eye
Haha, eyebrow helmet... the eye-chest is very cool, gotta love character-designs with facial features in the wrong place. Also I'm biased because it has Big Cyclops Energy™.
Vex
Big eyebrows! I also like the more "formal" design down the front.
Tide
If you used Lapis on Diamond for the colours, you could make some pretty-decent Prismarine Armour for a multiplayer server or Adventure map.
Snout
Frogge-eye helmet. Yes.
Rib
Looks bad as a full set, but would make a great accent-pattern for a more distinctive set. Netherite on Iron is basically white-tiger, and the opposite is zebra.
Tower
The trim on the sleeves and boots makes me think of pizza and racing, although it could just be the colours I'm using.
And now, a thing I don't like.
Ok so you know how, when you want to upgrade your Diamond stuff, you put it on a Smithing Table and merge it with a Netherite Ingot? Yeah, not any more. This is how it'll work in 1.20:
See that item in the first slot? That is a Netherite Upgrade. Now, I don't know how how it'll be found, so it could be easy to obtain, but adding another step just kinda overcomplicates it. Not only that, but the process consumes the upgrade, so if it is rare/hard to craft/only findable in chests, it'll be annoying to make a full set of Netherite gear.
But aside from that I'm really excited!

i have Opinions about the new trim name changes lol
context: these are the CURRENT names
i do not understand the rationale behind the changes. nothing about Dune gives me desert pyramid here, and pillagers do not have any "+" sign imagery (unlike the pyramids, which do). i'm so confused >_<

Really funny how often the hermits will be like “minecraft is just too easy :( ” and 40% of the time it’ll be because minecraft is a game for all ages including kids sure but 60% of the time it will be solely down to the fact that they live on a server full of the people who all play this game for a living
They’ll be standing next to an insane mindcrack ass farm that generate one million billion diamonds per minute, sighing because their eight hour hunt for two tall grass - a purely decorative item that is commonly found everywhere in the world except a player’s inventory - was just Too Easy!
This isn’t hate or anything I just think it’s really funny. Olympic level athletes at the public pool, complaining about kiddie pool being shallow and the people swimming laps being too slow to be any sort of competition
