Trinkets Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) – Minecraft Customizable Accessory Slot System

Minecraft’s standard equipment slots are quite limited, but Trinkets Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) revolutionizes how players equip accessories by introducing a fully modular and expandable slot system. Designed for Fabric and Quilt, this mod lays the groundwork for RPG-style equipment mechanics. It creates multiple customizable slot groups (such as head, chest, legs, and more), letting players equip all kinds of trinkets like rings, capes, belts, or unique modded gear. While the mod itself adds only a single chest slot for elytra by default, its real power shines when used alongside other mods that take advantage of its API to add gear, buffs, or special effects to different body parts.
