Emissive Trims is a lightweight core-shader tweak that adds a soft glow to armour trims, giving your gear a subtle enchanted shimmer. Barely any performance impact.

How to install Emissive Trims

1. 1No shader loader needed — Emissive Trims uses Minecraft’s own core shaders, so it installs like a resource pack on Minecraft 26.1 – 26.2.
2. 2Download the Emissive Trims .zip from the button above — keep it zipped. It is mirrored on MineSpecs, so there is no ad-gate or redirect.
3. 3Drop the .zip into your .minecraft/resourcepacks folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\resourcepacks on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/resourcepacks on macOS).
4. 4Launch the game, open Options → Resource Packs, move Emissive Trims to the right-hand column and click Done.
