🛡️ Armor Trims

#Armor Trims

Armor Trims let a player decorate the armor they fight in without changing anything about how it performs. A trim is purely cosmetic, it is remembered per player, and it is reapplied automatically every time that player is handed the matching piece of armor in a match.

#The Trims Menu

/dueltrims opens a grid with one row per armor slot and one column per armor material, so a player chooses a trim for, say, Netherite Boots independently of their Iron Boots. Each tile previews the trim currently applied to that exact piece.

Picking a tile asks for a pattern and then a material; the two together make the trim. Right-clicking a tile that already has one clears it, after a confirmation.

Because trims are stored per slot and per material, a player only ever sees their own choice on the pieces they actually get handed. A mode whose kit gives out Diamond Chestplates ignores whatever they picked for Leather.

#Kit Layouts

Players who arrange their own premade kit layouts can also apply a trim from the armor slots of the layout editor, so the trim travels with that layout rather than being a global choice. This entry point is gated separately from the menu.

#Permissions

Trims are locked down at three levels: getting into the menu at all, and then each individual pattern and material. A pattern or material the player has no permission for still appears in the picker, shown as locked and naming the permission it needs, so players can see what is available to unlock.

The pattern and material nodes use the vanilla registry key, so the Sentry pattern is phoenixplugins.trim.pattern.sentry and the Redstone material is phoenixplugins.trim.material.redstone. These two are shared with the other Phoenix plugins rather than being specific to Duels, so a player granted them once has them everywhere.
