(1.21.5) Problem registering armor trim material and pattern

[fathom forum]

Greetings. I recently started mod development, and I started with fabric. I'm studying it with Kaupenjoe's video series (intended for version 1.21.1, although there were breaking changes, the syntax is almost the same). I tried to register custom armor trim pattern and material, but I got two issues:

• The new material is not recognized in the smithing table. (Image 1)
• The pattern breaks the texture of the in game armor item. (Image 2)

Any ideas? Also, I have the textures for the trim template, but maybe they are in the wrong folders for this version.
The armor models are in resources/assets/tutorialmod/textures/trims/models/armor and the color_palettes in resources/assets/tutorialmod/textures/trims/color_palettes .

More information in the Snippets.md file.

I can help with trim material only 🧐

You have to give the datacomponent using .trimMaterial to the item you want to make the trim material and also there's a tag for trim materials

[fathom forum]

I have both of those declared (can see how in the snippets.md file)

[modest latch]

This is how I do it in 1.21.5 if its of any help:

you could also check the vanilla source code since thats where I got most stuff from

[fathom forum]

Thanks. I'll take a look and let you know if it works

@modest latch Why do you use ResourceKey instead of RegistryKey?

[modest latch]

mojmaps

[fathom forum]

Oh, oke

[fathom forum]

@modest latch Did you use datagen for the trim info? I cant find your datagen entrypoint in your reepo

But I see you have the generated folder

[modest latch]

trim info ?

what info

[fathom forum]

Nevermind. I fixed the item texture part. The route for the trim textures changed from version 1.21.3 to 1.21.5

The only bug remaining is the trim material

[fathom forum]

Now its fixed but the item in the inventory doesnt have the trimmed variation (im hovering the custom one)

Before it is a regular lapiz pattern

[modest latch]

Bcz vanilla items can't have it

Only if you will to break the vanilla item models which I don't recommend

[stiff nova]

Mixson can probably apply it to vanilla

[modest latch]

Oh mixin json hm true

Even tho it's a pain

[modest latch]

And also the other mods won't have it either

[stiff nova]

Yeah true

[modest latch]

So that's just for vanilla

[stiff nova]

I wonder if you can automatically apply the trim rendering to any model, but it might break other mods

[modest latch]

Would need a custom model for armor items to automatically take trim materials that exist at mod init 😭

[stiff nova]

Nah just render the trim over it and hope you can fix all z-fighting

[modest latch]

It already renders over it

From the atlases

[stiff nova]

Wait then why can’t you manually render it over all equipment

Am I missing something

[modest latch]

It's still a property in the json

It's only in the json set to render over it

[stiff nova]

Mixin into the itemrenderer

Or the armorfeaturerenderer or whatever

[modest latch]

Not sure if that's what handles the armor items aswell

[stiff nova]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modest latch]

I'd have to check lol

[modest latch]

oh thats for making a custom armor renderer like 3d armor models

Wait there is already a trim material property and can be added to the armor to be able to show all existing trims ..
-# nvm thats already used by armor

[fathom forum]

The custom armor doesnt have it either

[modest latch]

you can add it on your custom armor

you just need either long way with long code or short way with mixins which can also make it compatible with other mods I think 🤔

-# in case you datagen it

[fathom forum]

I rather the long code way. I haven't learned mixins yet
