Minecraft's New Armor Is Insane

The new 1.20 snapshot completely overhauls the smithing table and turns it into an armor modification station to apply cosmetic trim.

Thanks for watching, dudes! Likes, favorites, and feedback is always appreciated :)

Would be sick if they added a feature where you could add a glow Inc sac to make the trim more vibrant/glow

[broccolycowboy]

I think this will add a bit of flavor for multiplayer. instead of everyone running around in identical armor, you can identify your friends from a distance.

its awesome that Minecraft is taking the initiative to make it more fun and rewarding for exploring

One thing that will make the enchanted version of these armors wayy better is if the trims have their own glow or shine corresponding to the color it is whenever its enchanted !.. Almost like neon strips on your armor.. Might look VERY COOL !

[LiamTolentino]

I'm really hoping they apply this to tools as well because it would make it so much easier to tell between your silk touch pickaxe and your fortune pickaxe, and especially easier to find which tools are yours when your friend picks up your items when you die.

They need to add trims for shields now like that would be awesome

I can feel the "Get every armor trim in the game" achievement coming for me.

I reckon a glow stone trim that produces light would be pretty nifty and a magma block would also make for a cool designed trim.

Worth pointing out that the Rib trim (the one that Jordan points out doesn't "pop" as much as he thought diamond would) actually makes the trim darker! All other materials used will have a darker tone when used with this smithing template. Quartz works amazingly well with the Rib trim for a skeletal armour type look :)

This will be useful for team games since you can have everyone have the same variety of armor but with a different trim for each team. Like diamond trim for blue team, gold trim for yellow team, etc.

Would be nice to see some wandering trader specific trims and when they add archeology, some prehistoric trims.

This seems like one of the cooler updates in a video game recently honestly

[emmacohen]

This is going to lead to crazy armor hall challenges

[midnamagic]

I really hope they add echo shards as a trim option and have it pulse like the skulk. That’d be really cool.

[crimsonspawn]

This gives me throwbacks to the minecraft story mode armor, can't wait for 1.20!

[DarthCobay]

This’ll be really fun for faction servers.

[snazz]

Glad they’re putting more customization into the game along to go along with banner shields :)

[Gcf]

They should definitely do this with weapons/tools next!

7:16 You can apply netherite patterns to netherite armor if you apply the netherite trim pattern on the diamond armor before upgrading it. A lot of them have very subtle variations you wouldn't notice, but the vex pattern makes the netherite chestplate look like it just survived an explosion.

[pattymcfatty]

Actually the diamonds look a lot more "diamondy" if you use other patterns. That specific one just makes it rly dark for some reason.
