Trim Resonance

# 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](https://modrinth.com/mod/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. --- ## Material Abilities (System 1) *Applies to every piece worn with that material, regardless of pattern.

Planned for upcoming updates: - Balance passes on material and pattern effects based on community feedback - New trim material abilities as Minecraft adds more materials - Multiplayer compatibility improvements - More pattern combinations and effects - Visual and UI improvements
