[b]Experimental Features[/b]

Armor Trims

• You can now visually customize your armor with a variety of unique trims at the Smithing Table
  
  
• Armor Trims are purely visual with no gameplay benefits, and can only be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots
  • All trim patterns are visually the same on an armor’s item icon, but the color will still change based on the trim material
    
    
  • To check which trim pattern a piece of armor has, you can hover over it in the inventory
    
  
  
• Armor Trim Smithing Templates can be found all throughout the world, and each of the following structures contains its own unique Smithing Template:
  • Pillager Outpost
    • Sentry Armor Trim
      
    
    
  • Desert Pyramid
    • Dune Armor Trim
      
    
    
  • Shipwreck
    • Coast Armor Trim
      
    
    
  • Jungle Temple
    • Wild Armor Trim
      
    
    
  • Ocean Monument
    • Tide Armor Trim
      
    
    
  • Ancient City
    • Ward Armor Trim

  • Stronghold
    • Eye Armor Trim
      
    
    
  • End City
    • Spire Armor Trim
      
    
    
  • Smithing Templates are found in Chests in their respective structure, except for the Ocean Monument. Instead of finding it in Chests, Elder Guardians sometimes drop a Smithing Template when defeated
    
    
  • Some Armor Trim Smithing Templates are rarer than others, so be on the lookout for them to impress your friends!
    
    
  • An Armor Trim has two properties: a pattern and a material
    • The pattern is defined by the Smithing Template used to apply the trim and represents the visual pattern of the trim
      
      
    • The material is defined by what ingredient you used to apply the trim and represents the color of the trim
      
    
    
  • The viable ingredients you can use to define the color of your Armor Trim are the following:
    • Iron
      
      
    • Copper
      
      
    • Gold
      
      
    • Lapis
      
      
    • Emerald
      
      
    • Diamond
      
      
    • Netherite
      
      
    • Redstone
      
      
    • Amethyst
      
      
    • Quartz
      

Blocks

• The Piglin Head Block’s ears now flap when the wearer is Riding a vehicle
  
  
• Cherry Stripped Wood can now be crafted from Cherry Stripped Log (MCPE-168053)
  
  
• Updated Cherry Leaves & Cherry Sign textures (MCPE-168059)
  

Archaeology feature set:

• Added the Suspicious Gravel block
  

Mobs

• Frogs born in the Cherry Grove biome are now the temperate variant instead of the cold variant (MCPE-168083)
  

Netherite Equipment

• Netherite equipment crafting now also requires a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template
  
  
• Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found randomly in all Bastion Remnant chests, and there is a guarantee of 2 in every Treasure Room Bastion Remnant
  
  
• This change was made for a variety of reasons:
  • Increases the time players utilize Diamond equipment before Netherite
    
    
  • Make Netherite equipment a more significant achievement in the game’s progression
    
    
  • Adapts Netherite more naturally into the new Smithing Table crafting system
    

Smithing Templates

• Smithing Tables have been redesigned into a workstation for physical equipment upgrades and modifications
  
  
• Alongside slots for combining a piece of equipment and materials, there is now a required slot for an item type called Smithing Templates
  
  
• Smithing Templates define what type of upgrade you will be making to the equipment
  • It specifies both what type of items you can upgrade, and which ingredients are valid to customize the upgrade
    
    
  • There are currently two categories of Smithing Templates: Armor Trim and Netherite Upgrade
    
  
  
• Smithing Templates are consumed when used to upgrade an item in the Smithing Table
  
  
• You can craft a copy of a Smithing Template in the Crafting Table with 7 Diamonds + 1 block of material that the template is made out of + 1 Smithing Template, which will output 2 of the same Smithing Template
