Enabling Glowing Armor Trims Without Extra Mods

Activating the Core Shader

Emissive Trims Shaders operates as a core shader within the game's default rendering engine. You do not need third-party shader loaders such as OptiFine or Iris to make your trims shine.

1. Open the pause menu by pressing Esc and select Options.

2. Click on Resource Packs.

3. Locate Emissive Trims Shaders in the available packs list on the left side.

4. Click the arrow icon on the pack icon to transfer it to the Selected list on the right.

5. Click Done to let the game reload its rendering pipeline with the core shader applied.

Testing the Visual Effect

Once the pack is active, equip any piece of armor that has an armor trim applied to it. You should immediately see the patterned trim lines emitting bright light across your armor while the untrimmed base material retains its standard shading.
