Better Trim Tooltips Mod (1.21.11) – Tooltips of Trimmed Armor Items

Armor trims were one of the most exciting additions in recent Minecraft updates, but the vanilla tooltips leave a lot to be desired — you can see which trim pattern and material you applied, yet there is no clear explanation of what each material actually does. Better Trim Tooltips Mod fixes this by adding detailed, informative tooltips directly in the Smithing Table and inventory, so you always know exactly how trims affect your armor without alt-tabbing to a wiki. Downloaded over 2.6 million times on Modrinth, this small quality-of-life mod has quickly become a staple for players who care about armor customization.

Key Features

• Detailed trim material tooltips — Each trim material now displays a clear description of its effects directly in the Smithing Table interface, replacing the vague vanilla text with something actually useful.
• Cleaner inventory readability — Simplifies and improves how armor trim descriptions appear in your inventory, making it easier to compare trimmed armor pieces at a glance.
• No external references needed — Eliminates the need to check wikis or guides to understand what each trim material does to your armor.
