Jan. 27, 2023If you want to wear armor and still look different from other players, armor trims are for you. They are items that allow you to customize your armor by applying cool designs to it. There areover 100 designsand almost limitless combinations for you to choose from. This guide will teach you how to find all the armor trims in Minecraft in no time. So, let’s get started!
Location of All Armor Trims in Minecraft
Finding most armor trims comes down to exploring their dedicated structures and looting the chests in these locations or brushingsuspicious gravelin thetrail ruins. But some of them are rarer than others and one even requires you to kill a powerful mob. So, let’s go over each armor trim location to figure out how to obtain them properly.
The Flow armor trim can only be found in the newly addedtrial chambersin the latestMinecraft 1.21 update. It is one of the many loot items you get from theominous vault.
In order to get this armor trim, you first need to get theominous trial key, which requires you to trigger and complete ominous trials. We have all the guides you’ll need for the job, so get theBad Omen effectand get started with this adventure.
There is a 22.5% chance of the Flow Armor Trim appearing. This armor design is my new personal favorite. The pattern is full of spirals and twisting lines that immediately remind you of theBreezeand its wind powers.
The Bolt armor trim is obtainable through thevault block. You will need to obtain thetrial keyfirst and then you can unlock the vault to possibly get the Bolt trim. There is a5.4% chanceof it being dropped.
It is different from most other trims because some of its design’s parts only include one standalone pixel. The rest of the pattern includes straight lines and geometrical shapes.
To find the Sentry armor trim, you have to loot the chest at the top of the pillager outposts in the Overworld dimension. It adds asimple stripe to your helmet.
The chestplate has a pattern almost representing a target or even a flower in the center with four squares and also stripes on the shoulders. The leggings get a similar four-square pattern and the boots get a stripe.
The location of the Dune armor trim is the chest of the hidden underground room ofdesert temples. If you are not careful enough, you might have to dodgeTNTwhile collecting them. However, since the temple has 4 chests, you can get multiple templates in one go.
Talking about the design, chestplate with this trim has a square in the center and an outline around it in front, and on the back, there is a circle around a short horizontal line. The rest of the armor has curvy lines as a trim.
Coast armor trims spawn inside the chest ofshipwrecksin the Overworld, which are not that hard to find. Unfortunately, the problem with shipwrecks is that you get anywhere between 0 to 3 chests in each of them.
As you might expect, the higher the number of chests, the rarer is shipwreck’s spawning. Moreover, as per our testing, all three chests have similar chances of spawning the armor trim. So, you might have to grind extra hard before encountering the right shipwreck.
Though, looking at the design, this armor trim is worth more than the effort to find it. You’ll get a sleek strip design on the armor with a downward curve in the middle of every other stripe.
Hidden behind boobie traps and darkness, Wild armor trim spawns inside thechests of jungle templesin the Overworld. It adds spikes on the chestplate and straight ones on the leggings.
Tide armor trim is the only smithing template thatrequires you to kill a mobto get it. You have to find and kill an Elder Guardian to make them drop it, which happens half of the time. Moreover, since this mob exclusively spawns insideocean monuments in Minecraft, you have to be prepared while hunting for this armor trim.
As for the pattern, you get an expressive design with a face-like helmet, two lines joining into an emblem in the chest plate, and a joint curve in the leggings. The emblem design also shows up on the back of your helmet.
As the name suggests, the location of the Ward armor trim is the chests at the home of theWarden, theancient city. This makes it one of the riskiest smithing templates to get. Though, thanks to the huge amount of chests in the structure, you can expect to find them relatively quickly.
Vex armor trim spawns inside the chests ofwoodland mansion, which are home to various powerful illagers. However, keep in mind that this structure is fairly rare so make sure to check every single chest to find all Vex armor trims in Minecraft. Thankfully, they are pretty common.
As for the design, you get angry vex eyebrows on top of helmets and a long horizontal line on the chest plate, which is identical to the Evoker’s rob.
To get the Rib armor trim, you need tomake a Nether portal in Minecraftand travel to the Nether dimension. There, explore the halls ofNether fortressto find the chest with a smithing template.
While relatively calm in most biomes, this structure is home to wither skeletons, which are also the inspiration for this trim. Once used, you get skeleton-like ribs throughout the armor in a wrapped form. This design is unique in comparison to other armor trims.
If the term “snout” reminds you of pigs and their noses, then you can already guess where to find this armor trim. Itspawns in the house of piglins – the bastion remnantin various chests across the structure. Staying true to its name, you get a template with two nostrils on top of it.
However, the design of the trim doesn’t reflect a pig head. Instead, you get a clean pattern with a small box in the middle with a straight line on its top and a curved one beneath it.
With aneye of endershape on the chest plate, eyebrows on the helmet, and cool geometric patterns on the rest of the armor, the Eye armor trim is one of the most well-designed smithing templates.
You can find it within the chests of thestrongholdin the Overworld dimension. This turns it into a late-game item, though you might get it earlier by exploring thesespeedrun seeds of Minecraft.
The true end-game template is the Spire armor trim, whichspawns inside theend citiesin the Minecraft world. It adds a clean stripe to your helmet while giving your feet and arms a checkered pattern.
Meanwhile, your chest plate gets a curved line, the reflection of which appears in your leggings.
TheSilence armor trimlooks far more different than any other smithing template. Its appearance is extremely detailed, thanks to the size and depth of the lines on the armor and different shades of the colors.
Since this armor trim is so stylish it is heavily protected. You canfind it only in the chests in the ancient city, though the chance of you finding it is quite low.
You can obtain the Wayfinder armor trims only in thetrail ruins structure in Minecraft. It is one of the treasures that have been left by ancient civilizations and can be dug out of the suspicious gravel blocks using thebrush.
The player with this trim looks as if they have goggles on to help them find the way in a sand storm perhaps (pun intended). The rest of the armor pieces are covered with zig-zag stripes.
This particular armor trim is another one from the set found only by brushing suspicious gravel blocks in the trail ruins in Minecraft. While wearing armor with this template you can look really grumpy with those raised eyebrows, but also rather fancy with the one-pixel diagonal lines across the chest piece and boots.
As the name implies, the Shaper armor trim includes the lines that kind of follow the shape of the armor piece. That is best noticeable on the sleeves of the chestplate, where the lines go against the edges of the armor. You may find this smithing template by excavating the suspicious gravel blocks in the trail ruins structures.
The Host armor trim is possibly one of the plainest armor trim designs. However, that doesn’t mean it’s bad or ugly, it only shows that even though it’s fairly simple, perhaps in combination with other armor trims, it can be a perfect match. You can also find this armor trim by brushing the suspicious gravel in the trail ruins.
Now that you know how to find armor trims, let’s learn how to use them. You will need asmithing table, a piece of armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings, or boots), armor trim, and a coloring material of your choice. The coloring material changes the color of the patterns that appear on your armor and is consumed in the process. The coloring materials include:
You can even use the material the armor is made of, but the result might be a bit different than your expectations. For example, trimming a gold armor with gold as material results in a darker shade of gold in the trimmed areas.
Before you apply an armor trim, keep in mind that they will be consumed and are one-use. So, if it was difficult to secure it, like the Silence trim, you should first duplicate it. Our guide abouthow tomake smithing templateswill teach you how to duplicate them, so you don’t have to find them all over again.
After you duplicate the trim, follow the steps below to customize your armor with armor trims:
Now, click on the armor on the right to craft it and bring it to your inventory. This will consume the armor trim and the coloring material. Moreover, you cannot remove nor replace the armor trim so choose wisely before regretting your decision.
If you wish for a truly custom armor, you can use the armor trims with leather armor, which can be colored usingdyes in Minecraft. That’s all for this guide. Now you know where to find and use all 18 armor trims in Minecraft. So, which of these is your favorite? Tell us in the comments below!
Silence armor trim is the rarest because it spawns only in ancient cities but also because the chances of you finding it are far lower than all other trims.
Once you use an armor trim to apply a design to your armor, it is used up, so it’s not reusable. But if you duplicated the armor before trimming, you can infinitely use it as long as you keep duplicating it.
