What is this?
<details open> <summary>Click for answer</summary>This pack aims to give the armor trims unique textures in the GUI, just like they have while worn by an entity.
This resource pack is a subset of Visuals if you like this, you will probably like that too.
In vanilla all the armor trim items have the same texture, only with different colors. This means that in vanilla, you cannot distinguish between a netherite chestplate with a gold coast trim vs a netherite chestplate with a gold silence trim for example. The goal of this resource pack is to make that possible!
Below is a table of each of the new textures:

How do I get it to work?
<details> <summary>Click for answer</summary>In order for you to get these wonderful textures:
- If you are on 1.21.5+ Visual Armor Trims are possible in Vanilla Minecraft! Download version 3.0 or higher!
- If you are on 1.21.3-1.21.4 these versions will not be getting Visual Armor Trims. It is recommended to update to 1.21.5.
- If you are on 1.21.2 or below you will need client side mods. See below for compatibility.
Targeted mods/modpacks for 1.21.2 and below include:
- Fabulously Optimized (recommended)
- CIT Resewn (requires pack version 2.1)
- Polytone (requires pack version 2.0)
Neither Chime nor OptiFine are officially supported.
It is still recommended to install Fabulously Optimized for 1.21.5+ for substantial performance gains, but it will no longer be necessary.
Here is a table of compatible Minecraft and mod versions.
| CIT Type | 1.20.4 or below | 1.20.5-1.20.6 | 1.21-1.21.2 | 1.21.3-1.21.4 | 1.21.5 and above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vanilla | impossible | impossible | impossible | impossible | latest |
| CIT Resewn | 1.1 | not supported | 2.1 with CIT Resewn v1.2.1+1.21 or above | not supported | not required |
| OptiFine | 1.0 | not supported | not supported due to paletted_permutations* | not supported | not required |
| Polytone | not supported | not supported | 2.0 with Polytone v2.4.10 or above | not supported | not required |
| Chime | not supported | not supported | not supported | not supported | not required |
*Paletted permutations is a vanilla feature that was introduced in 1.19.4 that breaks OptiFine CIT
On (Neo)Forge, if you want to use the CIT Resewn version, you may be able to use Sinytra Connector or Forge CIT, however I do not test with these configurations. Polytone should work fine with NeoForge.
