Mojang has stated that they are purely cosmetic (except for the upgrade template which turns diamond gear into netherite)

This would basically beat the whole purpose of Armor Trims which is to add an unique look to armors to make each player stand out. If you add buffs to them, everyone would be more focused on the utility than the looks itself.
Not to mention, we already have enchantments for this.

Reminds me of the special effects of Tinkers' Construct, I would always use a wood trim so my armor would regenerate without mending.

This could be interesting. Perhaps it could even have a custom mix of buffs if you mix and match trim materials?

I dont really think its good idea because then every Player would Wear the same thing because its best and it wont be cool cosmetic anymore

Maybe not buffs, but unique particle effects for full set armor trims could be kinda cool.

The armor trims are only for decoration and customization. They would never add anything like this.

This could be a cool feature for Minecraft, it could make people get armor trims even more!

Amethyst could deflect dammage like a way better thorns

nah for me I feel like each material should increase the armor stats and the templates gives like buff to armor like for the Tide template gives you +1 swimming speed or +1 underwater breathing time

That would, , ruin the entire point of trimming but its a good datapack idea.

Bro that would Revolutionise Minecraft
We could have 2 updates in one the armor trim update and the potions update that would be so cool

That would be sick. Redstone boost with speed 2 beacon/potion sounds great.

If this was some mod here is my geuss of what effect each material would give
Red stone: speed boost
Diamond: haste boost
Netherite: fire resistance boost
Emerald: a different version of the “hero of the village effect”
Iron: resistance boost in general
Copper: blast protection boost( had the idea because I thought of charger creepers)
Lapis: boost to enchantment table luck
Amethyst: night vision boost(thought of the spyglass)
Coal:regen boost(I just ran out of ideas ok)
That’s all I know let me know what y’all think of what boost each material does, have a nice day
Butterdog
This would be awesome but let's let Mojang decide this
GamerBoy-vwyw
WE NEED THIS NOW ITS SUCH A FREAKING GOOD IDEA
faced-emoji
Some ideas:
Redstone: Set off redstone when touching it.
Iron: Puts enchantment books on gear without needing an anvil.
Gold: Gives small regen boost.
Lapis: Makes the player's sword have the effects of a random enchant every hit, and +1 level looting/fortune
Emerald: Makes villagers follow you around.
Diamond: Makes all tools use less durability.
Coal: Emits a small amount of light.
Amethyst: Makes nice sounds with every step.
Netherite: Makes player lava immune.

i thought abt that the moment they showed em. alongside this they should also add effects to trim sets themselves (like silence doesn't make sound when walkimg or smth)
oozypilot
The algorithm hated this idea more than us

If you want lapis armor then, get leather armor and dye it blue, then you add the lapis and the “Silence” trim design and voila (Wal-la) you have a close version to lapis armor.
