Troubleshoot Trim and Dye Application Issues

Smithing Table Not Accepting Items

Ensure you're placing items in the correct slots: armor/tool first, trim pattern second, dye third. The smithing table will only produce output when all three slots are properly filled with compatible items.

Dye Not Showing on Armor

Some armor materials may display dyes more subtly than others. Leather armor shows colors most vividly, while metal armor displays dyes as tints. Try different dye colors to find one that shows clearly on your chosen armor type.

Trim Pattern Compatibility

All trim patterns work with this data pack, but ensure you're using actual trim patterns (obtained from trim smithing or loot). Regular decorative items won't function as trims.

Reapplying Colors

If you want to change a dye color, simply use the already-dyed armor as input and apply a new dye. The previous color will be replaced with your new selection. There's no penalty for changing your mind.
