There are plenty of ways to customize your look in Minecraft. From shields to banners, you can apply patterns and dyes to make yourself stand out. Now with armor trims, you can truly decorate yourself in a near-infinite amount of ways to stand out. Since armor trims are the hot new item to the game, many players are at a loss when it comes to finding them. Let’s go over how you can get all of the different armor trims in Minecraft.
Where to Find Armor Trims in Minecraft
Like most other high-end items in Minecraft, you can find all the different armor trims in various structures across your world. The full list is as follows:
| Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template | Bastion remnant |
| Sentry Armor Trim Smithing Template | Pillager Outpost |
| Vex Armor Trim Smithing Template | Woodland mansion |
| Wild Armor Trim Smithing Template | Jungle temple |
| Coast Armor Trim Smithing Template | Shipwreck |
| Dune Armor Trim Smithing Template | Desert temple |
| Ward Armor Trim Smithing Template | Ancient City |
| Silence Armor Trim Smithing Template | Ancient City |
| Snout Armor Trim Smithing Template | Bastion remnant |
| Rib Armor Trim Smithing Template | Nether fortress |
| Eye Armor Trim Smithing Template | Stronghold |
| Spire Armor Trim Smithing Template | End city |
You will want to loot the chests in each of these structures to find your armor trim. Since some structures, like strongholds, have multiple armor trim spawns. You will need to check a specific room’s chest in order to find the trim you are looking for. The Tide armor trim is the only one that you have to kill a mob to get. Elder Guardians are the only mob that has a chance to drop the Tide armor trim.
Once you have an armor trim template you can apply it to any piece of armor in a smithing table. Just place in the armor trim, the piece of armor you want to apply it to, and whatever color item you want the trim to be. Unlike regular dyes, you will have to use ores and dust to change the color of the armor trim. So if you want red trim, you need to use redstone dust in the smithing table with the armor. The more times you apply a single item, the darker the color gets.
How to Craft All The Armor Trims in Minecraft
In order to craft an armor trim, you first need to have an armor trim. Instead of crafting to obtain the armor trim, you craft with the armor trim to double the amount of them you have. Each recipe will require you to use an armor trim in a ring of diamond and specific block in the middle that varies based on what armor trim you are trying to duplicate. The block you use is as follows:
| Netherite Upgrade | Netherrack |
| Sentry Armor Trim | Cobblestone |
| Vex Armor Trim | Cobblestone |
| Wild Armor Trim | Mossy Cobblestone |
| Coast Armor Trim | Cobblestone |
| Dune Armor Trim | Sandstone |
| Wayfinder Armor Trim | Terracotta |
| Raiser Armor Trim | Terracotta |
| Shaper Armor Trim | Terracotta |
| Host Armor Trim | Terracotta |
| Ward Armor Trim | Cobbled Deepslate |
| Silence Armor Trim | Cobbled Deepslate |
| Tide Armor Trim | Prismarine |
| Snout Armor Trim | Blackstone |
| Rib Armor Trim | Netherrack |
| Eye Armor Trim | End Stone |
| Spire Armor Trim | Purpur Block |
This recipe will give you two of whatever armor trim you are trying to craft. That way, you have one to apply on your armor and another to craft with again should you want to put more trim on your armor. While the recipe is quite expensive, it beats the alternative of trying to find at least four of whatever armor trim you like the most in your world.
Armor trim spawns are finite outside of the Tide armor trim, so even if you looted all the chests in your world you could only find a single armor trim of each type. But with this recipe and the location of all trims in the game, you are well on your way to imperviousness.
