Smithing Template
Flow Armor Trim applies a dynamic swirling pattern to any armor piece, found exclusively in Trial Chambers loot.
Description
To apply Flow Armor Trim, place the template, one armor piece, and one trim material in a smithing table; the template is consumed. Any of the 11 trim materials — amethyst shard, copper ingot, diamond, emerald, gold ingot, iron ingot, lapis lazuli, nether quartz, netherite ingot, redstone dust, or resin brick — sets the pattern color, so one Flow Armor Trim can produce 11 different looks. To make extra copies before applying, combine one Flow Armor Trim template with seven diamonds and one breeze rod on a crafting table to get two templates. Flow Armor Trim and Bolt Armor Trim are the only two trims exclusive to Trial Chambers.
