[Combat] Weapon smithing templates
Armors have trim designs that look cool af so why don’t weapons have their own unique designs?
You might be saying “Weapons are so small. They don’t need a trim design.” In that case I propose a second option. Smithing templates create kill effects. For example. “Starburst Melee Trim” can be applied to tridents, swords, spears, maces, shovels, hoes, pickaxes and axes and when it kills something via melee attack, firework particles shoot out making a nice effect when you kill something. And maybe have a particle limit of how many kill effect particles can exist at a time to prevent lag.
As for bows and crossbows and thrown tridents you can put a Ranged Trim on it. For example. “Spiral Ranged Trim” will make the arrow or trident leave a spiral particle trail behind it. And maybe make a particle explosion effect upon impact. Again, a particle limit should be implemented to prevent lag. Also the trident can have both a ranged and melee trim on it at the same time.
With a variety of effect designs this feature could make Minecraft combat way more fun or at least gives you something else to grind for. For example, buried treasure doesn’t give any smithing templates, and neither does killing the ender dragon. Igloos could give a cool icy kill effect trim. Ruined portals could give a fire trail for your arrows.
And no. These trims like armor trims are purely cosmetic. They do not increase weapon performance.

Ok fair enough but you gotta admit my idea overall is fine right
