About this Mod

Create: Backtank Trims

Create: Backtank Trims

Smithing-table/render armor trims and dyeable visors for Create's diving gear.


Create's diving helmets, diving boots and backtanks are armor, but the Create devs never implemented trimming properly and disabled it as a bandaid fix. This mod properly integrates them and adds a little visual flair on top.

✨ Features

Trim every piece

All six of Create's diving items are now valid smithing-table inputs. Trims are now rendered using minecraft's trim renderer (which may make some trims silly)

Trimmed backtanks

Dyeable visors

Visors! Colour em'! Drop a helmet into a crafting grid with any dye - combine several dyes for blended hues, just like leather armor, and clean it off with a cauldron.

Pulsating visors

Craft a dyed helmet together with an amethyst shard and the visor slowly breathes and pulses!

Plays nice with Create: Jetpack

The netherite jetpack from Create: Jetpack uses Create's same custom render path as the netherite backtank, so its trim used to be invisible. This mod renders trims correctly on both jetpack variants too.
