About this Mod

About
Aesthetic Weapon Trims adds a trim feature to weapons, similar to the one used on armors, however the trims are based on specific aesthetic themes instead of simple patterns.

The trims can only be used on diamond swords and act both a trim and as a netherite upgrade at the same time, tho the weapons crafted at a smithing table have a slightly higher DPS than regular Netherite weapons. The type of trim does not determine the stats of the weapon but only it's design.
The weapon stats are determined by the new Weapon Patterns, that are used in combination with an aesthetic trim to make one of 3 weapon types:
Daggers
- Attack Damage: 6
- Attack Speed: 2.2
- DPS: 13.2
- Attack Range: 2 Blocks
Swords
- Attack Damage: 8.5
- Attack Speed: 1.6
- DPS: 13.6
- Attack Range: 3 Blocks
Glaives
- Attack Damage: 10
- Attack Speed: 1.38
- DPS: 13.8
- Attack Range: 4.5 Blocks
Recipes
Here's an example on how the smithing recipes look:
Any Aesthetic Trim + Diamond Sword + Any Weapon Pattern

Some swords have 2 variants, the second one can be optained by just placing the first one in a crafting table.
Example:
Bronze Trim + Diamond Sword + Sword Weapon Pattern = Bronze Xiphos
Bronze Xiphos in crafting table = Bronze Khopesh
The Aesthetic Trims and the Weapon Patterns can be crafted as depicted here:
