Effective Gear

26.1.2 - 0.9.0

New Features

• Wandering traders have a 20% chance of selling a random smithing template.
• Added new armor trim materials:
  • Blaze powder
  • Echo shard
  • Enchanted golden apple
  • Ender pearl
  • Honeycomb
  • Nether star
  • Prismarine shard
  • Slimeball
  • Turtle scute
• Wearing a full set of armor trimmed with the same material grants a bonus as long as it's worn:
  • Amethyst — a small bonus to the experience dropped by blocks and mobs
  • Blaze powder — melee attacks set your target on fire
  • Copper — a channeling trident can summon lightning even when it isn't storming
  • Diamond — your tools mine as if their Efficiency enchantment were one level higher
  • Echo shard — partial resistance to a warden's sonic boom attack
  • Emerald — a small discount when trading with villagers
  • Enchanted golden apple — regeneration II and resistance
  • Ender pearl — endermen ignore your gaze
  • Gold — piglins are pacified, just like wearing a piece of gold armor
  • Honeycomb — harvest bee nests without a campfire and without angering the bees
  • Iron — iron golems won't attack you
  • Lapis lazuli — a small chance for an enchantment to come out one level higher than rolled
  • Nether star — regeneration
  • Netherite — fire resistance
  • Prismarine shard — partial resistance to a guardian's or elder guardian's laser attack
  • Quartz — move more freely across terrain that would normally slow you down
  • Redstone — right-click a block with an empty hand to send it a quick redstone pulse, anywhere a button could be placed
  • Resin — creakings ignore you
  • Slimeball — knockback resistance
  • Turtle scute — water breathing
• Wearing a full set of netherite armor grants fire resistance, as long as it's worn.
• Wearing a full set of armor trimmed with the same pattern (regardless of material) now grants its own bonus, as long as it's worn. Patterns marked ⚡ have an active ability triggered with the new "Use Trim Ability" key (set it in Controls) — a shared key, since you can only be wearing one such pattern's full set at a time:
  • Bolt ⚡ — while sprinting, press the ability key to burst forward, then wait out a short cooldown before dashing again
  • Coast — swim and mine underwater as though you have Aqua Affinity; if your helmet already has real Aqua Affinity, you also stop losing mining speed while off the ground
  • Dune — melee attacks also weaken your target
  • Eye — deal extra damage to endermen
  • Flow ⚡ — while airborne, press the ability key to get a boost upward, once per jump, with a short cooldown
  • Host — a discount when trading with villagers, stacking with the emerald material bonus
  • Raiser — deal extra damage to undead mobs
  • Rib — immune to the wither effect
  • Sentry — deal extra damage to pillagers, whether in melee or at range
  • Shaper — reach a little farther, for both blocks and entities
  • Silence — breaking a block while sneaking won't alert nearby sculk sensors
  • Snout — hoglins and piglin brutes leave you alone
  • Spire — immune to levitation
  • Tide — immune to mining fatigue
  • Vex — partial resistance to Evoker Fangs and Vex attacks
  • Ward — extra partial resistance to a warden's sonic boom, stacking with the echo shard material bonus
  • Wayfinder — any mount you're riding gets a small speed boost, stacking with potion effects
  • Wild — immune to poison
• Added a Preserving enchantment for shears (applied via anvil, since shears can't be enchanted at a table). Leaves mined with Preserving-enchanted shears keep their original color forever, even when placed somewhere with a very different biome color — handy for building with a consistent leaf color regardless of where you place it. Works on Oak, Jungle, Acacia, Dark Oak, and Mangrove leaves (the only leaves whose color actually changes by biome). Crafting a preserved leaf block by itself turns it back into an ordinary one.
• Added an advancement, Colors that Pop, earned the first time you break a leaf block with shears enchanted with Preserving.

Changes

• Rebalanced sonic boom resistance: the full echo shard material bonus alone is now a 25% reduction (down from 75%), and the full Ward pattern bonus alone is a 50% reduction. Wearing both stacks to the same 75% reduction echo shard used to grant by itself.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the new trim materials not showing up on armor icons in the inventory on Fabric — they still showed correctly on the worn armor itself.
