I'm still sad that leather armor can't be trimmed. Combining that with dyeing would have been fantastic.

[sherkath]

The first thing that comes to my mind with this is faction armor on RP-servers.
Different factions or groups could use different trims to signify which one they belong to.

[AdaSoom]

I'm really hoping the ability to use Echo shards gets added as a trim option so you can add a skulk effect and color to armor.

I think it would be AWESOME if you could combine different armor trims with each other on the same armor piece, maybe even with different ingot colors.

the new update being about self expression, culture and storytelling, and the new trimming armor in Minecraft gives me hopes that banner shields will be adding to Mcpe! ☺️🙏🏼

With this update there are a total of ~90.03 Billion (90, 035, 798, 189 to be exact) armor combos without leather armors or ~1.06 octillion (1, 066, 000, 783, 473, 511, 195, 945, 667, 032) with leather armors

I'm pretty sure the vex trim is based off the Evoker, who spawn vexes! I find that incredibly amazing how much the chestplace trim resembles the Evoker raising their arms as they spawn the vexes

[SemiHypercube]

I feel like the coast trim should've been in ocean ruins as well, that structure is like hardly used

The GLOW INK SAC could be used to make armour actually GLOW

Iron with gold trim is my favorite. We definitely need to be able to trim the elytra. If you could dye it then add a trim that would be so sick for customization. They could make some really unique stuff for it too

[rosyasia]

My 2 favorites are eye and rib. If your trim a netherite helmet with eye using amethyst, it looks like an enderman. That is super cool!

[tozv]

They have to add the ECHO SHARD to the mix! It could be epic!

Man this is a game changer. At first I wasn’t so exited for 1.20, don’t get me wrong everything from the camel to the sniffer is cool, but it doesn’t live up to the hype that past updates had. But now with the new armor trim, I can officially say that this update has gotten me hooked!

[rainbowstormdemon]

Ideas for more trims
Bones trim. Looks like a skeleton: found in dungeons and uses mossy cobblestone
Cobweb trim: looks like a web like pattern. Found in mineshafts uses tuff
Snow trim: has snow flake patterns on chest, head, small ones for legs and boots, found in igloos, and uses blue ice

[TheSatiah]

I find diamond armor with amethyst trim absolutely stunning.

[SinGru]

One of the greatest parts is that the ore people never really sea a use for like copper, emerald, gold, quarts, and Amethyst can finally have more uses

[aghnajitpal]

I just calculated the total combinations that can be made in this update.

Thera are total 11 trim designs each with 10 colourations. So, a total of 11×10 = 110 designs per equipment.
Now, there are 4 equipments (helmet, chestplate, pants, boots).
So total combinations are = 110^4 = 146, 410, 000 !!! per armour base i.e (chain mail, iron, gold, diamond and netherite)
So the total collection one could have is 146, 410, 000 × 4 = 585, 640, 000 + 1 (leather armour)

There you go, i may be wrong so please correct me if any mistake 😁

[Fidgtt]

There should be a way to remove trims too. Maybe the grindstone could grind off the colour you put on a piece of armour.

[seaz]

I also noticed on the Tide trim that the front of it almost outlines a dolphin with the tail and fins

[chelkosproductions]

It's a great concept but I think it should also allow us to:
1. use echo shards as a trim option
2. trim elytras (or even give us a way to finally trim them to our armor)
3. obtain unique effects corresponding to the type of trim and material we used.
For example the full eye trim set would allow us to teleport like endermen or something
It would be pretty cool and add so much to the combat
