Tool Trims Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) – Trim Your Weapons and Tools

Tool Trims Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) expands Minecraft’s customization system by bringing armor-style trimming to your tools and weapons. While vanilla lets you trim armor with smithing templates, this mod introduces that same creative flexibility to swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels, and more letting you personalize your entire gear loadout with over 1,200 possible combinations.

Whether you’re building an epic set of gear to show off your netherite strength or simply want your diamond pickaxe to match your build aesthetic, Tool Trims gives you the tools to stand out. With four new smithing templates and a dedicated crafting block, you can mix and match styles and materials to create gear that’s uniquely yours without altering durability or performance.

How to use:

Toolsmithing Table

• The Toolsmithing Table is a custom block used to apply trims to tools and duplicate tool trim smithing templates. It features a GUI similar to the regular Smithing Table and can be crafted with 2 copper ingots and 4 wood planks.
• When crafting, the result icon will appear as a Knowledge Book, but upon clicking it, you’ll receive the actual Toolsmithing Table.

Tool Trim Smithing Templates

• Tool Trim Smithing Templates are special items used at the Toolsmithing Table to apply decorative trims to weapons and tools. Each template is tied to a specific structure in the world where it can be discovered.

• If you’re playing with the data pack version (1.17–1.19), note that the structures where templates are found may vary slightly.

• All templates can also be duplicated using the Toolsmithing Table.

Weapons and tools can be trimmed by using a Toolsmithing Table. There are 10 different materials you can use to apply trims:

When combined with the tool trim smithing templates, these materials allow for over 1,200 unique trim combinations.
