contact_support Tutorial

For creative mode
The new Smithing Templates and the Toolsmithing Table won't appear in the creative menu unless you enable the option "Operator Items Tab" in Controls. Alternatively, you could use the command "/function tooltrims:custom_items". It will place a chest with custom items this data pack offers, the 4 tool trim smithing templates and the Toolsmithing Table.

Toolsmithing Table
A Toolsmithing Table is a block that is used to trim tools and duplicate tool trim smithing templates. It has a similar GUI to the Smithing Table and can be crafted using 2 copper ingots and 4 wood planks.




Tool Trim Smithing Templates
These smithing templates are used in Toolsmithing Tables to trim weapon and tools. Each one can be found on a different structure.

Smithing TemplateStructureChance (per chest)
linear LinearTrail Ruins / Mineshaft
7.6% / 7%
tracks TracksPillager Outpost / Mansion37.5% / 50%
charge ChargeAncient City
5%
frost FrostIgloo40%


They can also be duplicated using a Toolsmithing Table.




Tool Trimming
Tools can be trimmed using a Toolsmithing Table. You can use 10 different materials to trim:
  • amethyst Amethyst Shard
  • copper Copper Ingot
  • diamond Diamond
  • emerald Emerald
  • gold Gold Ingot
  • iron Iron Ingot
  • lapis Lapis Lazuli
  • netherite Netherite Ingot
  • quartz Quartz
  • redstone Redstone Dust

Then, combined with the tool trim smithing templates, you can get over 1200 combinations!




Advancements
This data pack also adds 2 new advancements:
  • Shiny Tools - obtained by getting a trimmed tool.
  • Tools of All Styles - obtained by applying all tool trim smithing templates at least once.






Commands
  • /function tooltrims:custom_items - This command places a chest with all the tool trim smithing templates and the toolsmithing table.
  • /function tooltrims:load - This command lets you reload only the Tool Trims Data Pack, it can be useful if it isn't working as expected.
  • /trigger update_item - If you used an old version of this Data Pack, this command lets you update your old trimmed tool by holding it on your main hand. (removed in v2.3.1, items update automatically after this version)


forum FAQ

I'm having issues in my Paper/Purpur server, what can I do?
For Paper/Purpur servers, it's recommended to use the Tool Trims Alternative plugin.

The new smithing tables don't appear in the creative menu, how can I fix this issue?
See the "For creative mode" section above.

I'm getting the Toolsmithing Table every few seconds, how can I fix this issue?
This bug happens when you're using an "Unlock all recipes" data pack, make sure to disable it.

Can I make a post/video about it on other social medias?

Hello! I have one minor problem. In addition to your datapack, I have the "Blazeandcave's Advancements Pack" and it is almost compatible and the achievements of your datapack are in the "Adventures" tab, but there is one small thing that catches your eye, namely that all the achievements from the "Blazeandcave's Advancements Pack" are visible in the chat when received, but your achievements are invisible, I think what's the matter with Blazeandcave's Advancements Pack. Can you fix this or create an additional datapack for those with Blazeandcave's Advancements Pack? In general, he is quite popular. I understand that this is still a small thing, but it catches my eye:(

BlazeandCave’s Advancements uses custom advancement messages instead of the vanilla ones. To make it compatible with Tool Trims and other data packs with advancements, you have to run the command "/function blazeandcave:config" and click the setting in Advancement Completion Message Settings > Click to view preset options > Turn vanilla messages on.

I couldn't load the image you sent, but if the trims appear as structure blocks the problem has to do with the resource pack. Make sure you installed the correct resource pack version for 1.21.4 and not the latest one. You can also try resending the image using a website like Postimages.

You could try regenerating the data pack by deleting it in world > datapacks and restarting the server. If this does not solve your issue, I can't really help much more as I see you already made a report on https://github.com/Sideways-Sky/Tool-Trims/issues. Maybe you could send the list of mods/datapacks or the modpack you have installed on your server, so we could try to replicate your bug. (If it is too big, send a .txt file through Google Drive/Mediafire)

I found out that the data pack & resource pack 2.3.0 for Minecraft 1.21.4 is missing the assets file so it does not work, I installed another version like 2.3.3 to add in my resource pack file, and yea it have the assets file. Therefore, ur data pack is working fine rn. In my opinion, u should update or edit your data pack & resource pack 2.3.0 cuz the missing file.




Thanks for helping me. Have a nice day.
