How to Get All 18 Armor Trims in Minecraft — Complete Locations Guide

TL;DR

• There are 18 armor trims in Minecraft, each found in a specific structure or from a specific mob.
• They are purely cosmetic — trims never change armor stats or durability.
• Apply them at a Smithing Table using: Trim Template + Armor Piece + Color Material.
• There are now 11 trim color materials — the original 10 plus Resin Brick (added in 1.21.4), which gives a bright orange color.
• Duplicate any trim with 7 Diamonds + its matching block at a crafting table.
• The rarest trim is Silence (1.2% from Ancient City chests). The easiest is Vex (50% from qualifying Woodland Mansion random loot chests).
• Flow is the only trim that uses a Breeze Rod (not a block) to duplicate.

Armor trims are one of the best additions Minecraft has ever made to personalisation. They let you stamp every piece of gear with a pattern that reflects where you have been — desert temples, Nether fortresses, ancient cities, trial chambers. Wear a Silence trim and everyone on a multiplayer server knows you have been to the Deep Dark. Wear a Spire trim and they know you cleared an End City.

This guide covers every single trim — what it looks like, exactly where to find it, the verified drop rate, and what you need to duplicate it so you can trim a full set of armour without grinding the same structure four times.

How Armor Trims Work

Before hunting them down, understand the basics.

Trims are purely cosmetic. They add a visual pattern to your armour in the colour of whatever material you choose. No stat changes, no extra protection, no durability difference. Gold trim on Netherite armour still burns in lava. Netherite trim on iron armour still has iron’s base stats. For the actual best armour setup, see our best enchantments for armor guide.

Applying a trim consumes the template. One use, one trim. The template is gone. This is why you duplicate them before applying.

You can overwrite a trim anytime. Apply a new trim to an already-trimmed piece and the old pattern is replaced. You cannot have two trims on the same piece at once.

Same-material effect. If your armour material and trim material are the same (for example, diamond trim on diamond armour), the trim shows as a slightly darker version of the same colour rather than a contrasting hue. Use a different material for the most visible contrast.

Piglins are not fooled. Gold-trimmed armour does not pacify Piglins — only actual gold armour pieces do. See our Piglin bartering guide for how Piglin aggression actually works.

---

How to Apply an Armor Trim

You need three things and a Smithing Table.

Open the Smithing Table. You will see three input slots:

• Left slot: The Trim Template (the smithing template you found)
• Middle slot: The Armour Piece (helmet, chestplate, leggings, or boots — any material)
• Right slot: The Trim Material (the colour — see the full list below)

The result appears in the output slot. Take it and the trim is applied. Works on any armour type: leather, iron, gold, chainmail, diamond, netherite, and even the Turtle Shell helmet. The Smithing Table itself is crafted from 4 Wood Planks + 2 Iron Ingots, or found in village toolsmith houses.

---

The 11 Trim Colors — Materials You Can Use

The trim pattern comes from the template. The colour comes from the material. As of 1.21.4, there are now 11 trim color materials — the original 10 plus Resin Brick, which was added with the Pale Garden update and gives a bright orange result:

Material	Colour Result	Where to Get It
Iron Ingot	Silver-grey	Iron ore, smelting
Copper Ingot	Orange-brown	Copper ore, smelting
Gold Ingot	Bright gold	Gold ore, smelting, Nether
Lapis Lazuli	Deep blue	Lapis ore, trading
Emerald	Bright green	Villager trading, emerald ore
Diamond	Light cyan/blue	Diamond ore, Y=-58 strip mining
Netherite Ingot	Dark grey/brown	Ancient Debris, smelted
Redstone Dust	Deep red	Redstone ore
Amethyst Shard	Purple-pink	Amethyst geodes
Quartz	Bright white	Nether Quartz ore
Resin Brick ⭐ New	Bright orange	Craft from Resin Clumps — obtained in the Pale Garden by hitting Creaking mobs or collecting from Pale Oak trees

Mix any trim pattern with any of the 11 colours. That gives you up to 198 unique looks per armour piece. Combined with leather dyes for leather armour, the customisation options run into the billions of combinations. Resin’s bright orange looks especially striking on Netherite armour — many players compare it to lava flowing through the gear. To get Resin Bricks, visit the Pale Garden biome, collect Resin Clumps by hitting Creaking mobs or from Pale Oak trees, then smelt the clumps into Resin Bricks.

---

How to Duplicate Armor Trims

Every trim can be duplicated so you only need to find it once to trim a full set.

Duplication recipe (Crafting Table): Place the existing trim template in the centre of the top row. Place the matching material block directly below it. Fill all remaining 7 slots with Diamonds.

Result: You get 2 copies of the trim template. This means one template + 7 diamonds + the matching block = one extra copy. Repeat to make as many as you need for a full four-piece armour set.

The matching block varies per trim and is listed with each trim below. Most use common blocks. A few require materials you need to specifically gather. The one exception is Flow, which uniquely uses a Breeze Rod instead of a block — the only trim in the game that does not use a block for duplication.

Bedrock Edition bonus: On Bedrock, three trims accept additional block variants for duplication. Spire can also use Purpur Pillar. Tide can also use Prismarine Bricks or Dark Prismarine. Dune can also use Smooth Sandstone, Cut Sandstone, or Chiseled Sandstone. Java Edition only accepts the base block listed for each.

All 18 Armor Trims — Complete Location Guide

Trims are organised by difficulty from easiest to hardest to obtain. Use this as your hunt order.

---

1. Vex Trim

Structure: Woodland Mansion | Drop Rate: 50% from qualifying random loot chests | Duplicate Material: Cobblestone

Design: Angular, jagged pattern inspired by the Vex mob — looks like vex wings spread across the armour. Bold geometric lines.

Notes: Despite being in one of the rarer Overworld structures, the 50% drop rate makes this one of the most reliable trims once you find a Mansion. Buy an Explorer Map from a Cartographer Villager to locate the nearest Woodland Mansion. Important: only random loot chests inside the Mansion can contain the Vex trim — the specific room chests (Allium room, Sapling farm room, Tree-chopping room, Fake End Portal room) have fixed loot that does not include it. Check every non-room-specific chest.

---

2. Wild Trim

Structure: Jungle Temple | Drop Rate: 33.3% from treasure chests | Duplicate Material: Mossy Cobblestone

Design: Organic, flowing curves with moss-like edges. Looks earthy and natural — fits green and brown colour materials perfectly.

Notes: Jungle Temples have two chests. The main treasure chest has the best loot and the only chance at the Wild trim. Watch out for the tripwire traps and hidden lever puzzles inside. Disarm the dart traps before looting to avoid taking damage. Jungle Temples generate in Jungle biomes at ground level — not rare if you find the right biome.

---

3. Sentry Trim

Structure: Pillager Outpost | Drop Rate: 25% from the chest at the top (yields 2 templates on success) | Duplicate Material: Cobblestone

Design: Clean, structured pattern with a target-like circle on the chestplate and striped shoulders. Looks military and sharp.

Notes: Each Pillager Outpost has one chest at the top of the wooden tower. You need to fight through Pillagers to reach it. When the 25% roll succeeds, you receive 2 copies of the Sentry trim, giving you an immediate head start on your set. If you trigger a raid by entering a village afterward, completing it earns you the Hero of the Village discount effect — excellent for trading halls. Different Outposts are independent loot chances.

---

4. Coast Trim

Structure: Shipwreck | Drop Rate: 16.7% per chest (yields 2 templates on success) | Duplicate Material: Cobblestone

Design: Nautical pattern with barnacle-like textures. Waves and curved shapes across the armour. Looks great with blue materials like Lapis or Diamond.

Notes: Shipwrecks generate underwater throughout ocean biomes, occasionally on beaches. Each has up to three chests — a supply chest, a treasure chest, and a map chest — and all three roll independently for the Coast trim at 16.7% each. When the roll succeeds, you receive 2 copies. Bring Water Breathing potions for deeper wreck dives. A map is useful for tracking explored ocean areas when hunting multiple shipwrecks.

---

5. Dune Trim

Structure: Desert Temple | Drop Rate: 14.3% per chest (yields 2 templates on success) | Duplicate Material: Sandstone (Java); Sandstone, Smooth Sandstone, Cut Sandstone, or Chiseled Sandstone (Bedrock)

Design: Smooth curved lines reminiscent of desert sand dunes. The chestplate has a central square with an oval outline. Clean and architectural.

Notes: Desert Temples have four chests in the underground chamber beneath the blue clay block floor. Disarm or avoid the TNT pressure plate at the centre before dropping in — stepping on it detonates all four TNT blocks. Each of the four chests is an independent 14.3% loot roll, so one temple gives you four separate chances at the Dune trim, and each success yields 2 copies.

---

6. Snout Trim

Structure: Bastion Remnant | Drop Rate: 8.3% per chest (all chest types — Bridge, Treasure, Hoglin Stable, Generic) | Duplicate Material: Blackstone

Design: The trim features two circular dot patterns that directly resemble a Piglin’s flat snout. One of the most recognisable and thematically fitting designs in the game.

Notes: Bastions have four chest types and the Snout trim can appear in any of them at 8.3% each, giving you multiple independent rolls per Bastion. The Treasure Room type always has a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template in its main chest — the most valuable Bastion to find for gear upgrades. Wear gold armour when entering to avoid Piglin aggression. See our Piglin bartering guide for dealing with Piglins and our Netherite armour guide for full Bastion strategy.

---

7. Wayfinder Trim

Structure: Trail Ruins (Rare Suspicious Gravel only) | Drop Rate: 8.3% per rare suspicious gravel block (Java) / 1.8% (Bedrock) | Duplicate Material: Terracotta

Design: Angular, triangular shapes suggesting a compass or navigation marker. Perfect for explorer-themed builds and adventurer aesthetics.

Notes: Trail Ruins are partially buried ancient structures found in Jungles, Snowy Taigas, Taigas, Old Growth Taigas, and Snowy Spruce Taigas. Use a Brush on rare suspicious gravel blocks within Trail Ruins to uncover the trim — only the rare-tier gravel can yield armor trims; common suspicious gravel cannot. Suspicious gravel breaks permanently if mined without a brush — be careful. Bedrock players face a much lower rate (1.8%) so expect significantly more brushing.

---

8. Raiser Trim

Structure: Trail Ruins (Rare Suspicious Gravel only) | Drop Rate: 8.3% (Java) / 1.8% (Bedrock) | Duplicate Material: Terracotta

Design: Upward-pointing geometric shapes with a rising, towering appearance. The name and design reference upward movement and height.

Notes: Same source and method as Wayfinder — rare suspicious gravel only. Since four trims share Trail Ruins as their source (Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, Host), one Trail Ruins site can potentially yield all four if you brush enough rare suspicious gravel. Bring multiple brushes since they have durability, or enchant one with Mending.

---

9. Shaper Trim

Structure: Trail Ruins (Rare Suspicious Gravel only) | Drop Rate: 8.3% (Java) / 1.8% (Bedrock) | Duplicate Material: Terracotta

Design: Structured geometric forms with sharp angles and precise lines. The most architectural-looking of the Trail Ruins group.

Notes: Same source and method as Wayfinder and Raiser. Focus on the rare suspicious gravel blocks — they are the only ones that can drop armor trims in Trail Ruins.

---

10. Host Trim

Structure: Trail Ruins (Rare Suspicious Gravel only) | Drop Rate: 8.3% (Java) / 1.8% (Bedrock) | Duplicate Material: Terracotta

Design: Welcoming, symmetrical design with spread shapes suggesting open arms or hospitality. The most rounded and least aggressive-looking of the four Trail Ruins trims.

Notes: Fourth and final Trail Ruins trim. Since all four share the same loot pool in rare suspicious gravel, you may find multiples of some and none of others in a single session. Bedrock players need to brush significantly more blocks due to the lower per-block rate.

---

11. Rib Trim

Structure: Nether Fortress | Drop Rate: 6.7% per chest | Duplicate Material: Netherrack

Design: Skeleton-like rib cage wrapping around the torso. The design references Wither Skeletons — the Nether Fortress’s signature mob. Looks dramatic and dark.

Notes: Nether Fortresses have multiple chests scattered along their corridors and in specific rooms. With a 6.7% drop rate per chest, you may need several chests across one Fortress or visit multiple Fortresses. Our Nether Fortress location guide covers the best strategies for finding one. Wither Skeletons here drop Skulls — if you are collecting those too, see our Wither guide for the full process. The Nether portal guide covers first-time Nether setup.

---

12. Bolt Trim

Structure: Trial Chambers (Standard Vault / Reward Chests) | Drop Rate: 6.3% from Vaults and reward chests (opened with Trial Keys) | Duplicate Material: Block of Copper (any oxidation stage; Waxed Block of Copper also works)

Design: Sharp, lightning bolt-like geometric patterns with standalone pixel details and straight lines. Clean and angular — one of the most modern-looking trims.

Notes: Open Vaults inside Trial Chambers using Trial Keys earned from clearing Trial Spawners. The Bolt trim appears in the standard Vault and reward chest loot pool. Our Trial Chambers guide covers how to locate and navigate these structures. Any oxidation stage of Block of Copper — or its waxed equivalent — works for duplication. Consider using the Crafter block for automated copper block crafting if you are duplicating in bulk.

---

13. Eye Trim

Structure: Stronghold (Library chests — 100%; Altar chests — 10%) | Drop Rate: 100% from library chests, 10% from altar chests | Duplicate Material: End Stone

Design: Bold eye-shaped pattern at the centre of the chestplate, with additional eye motifs on the helmet. References the Eye of Ender used to find the Stronghold itself.

Notes: Stronghold Libraries have the highest guaranteed drop rate of any trim in the game — every library chest contains an Eye trim. Strongholds have 1–3 libraries each. Finding a Stronghold requires Eyes of Ender thrown into the air — follow their direction until they float downward. Note: the altar chest drop rate is 10%, not 9.1% as previously reported. End Stone for duplication comes from the End dimension, so you need to have entered the End to duplicate this trim freely.

---

14. Spire Trim

Structure: End City | Drop Rate: 6.7% from End City chests | Duplicate Material: Purpur Block (Java); Purpur Block or Purpur Pillar (Bedrock)

Design: Vertical stripe patterns with checkered detail on the boots. Clean, tall, angular lines inspired by the towering architecture of End Cities and the Shulker mobs that guard them.

Notes: End Cities only generate on the outer End islands after defeating the Ender Dragon. Use the End Gateway Portal to reach the outer islands, then explore until you find tall purple Purpur towers. See our Elytra and End City guide for everything on navigating the End dimension. Purpur Blocks for duplication are easy to obtain — they make up the End City structures themselves. Bedrock players can also use Purpur Pillars as the duplication material.

---

15. Flow Trim

Structure: Trial Chambers (Ominous Vault — harder mode) | Drop Rate: 22.5% from Ominous Vaults (opened with Ominous Trial Keys) | Duplicate Material: Breeze Rod (unique — the only trim that uses an item, not a block)

Design: Swirling, spiralling wind patterns that directly reference the Breeze mob. Flowing curls and dynamic lines that look like wind in motion.

Notes: Requires completing Ominous Trials — the harder version of Trial Chambers triggered by entering with the Bad Omen effect from an Ominous Bottle. Ominous Trial Keys are dropped by completing Ominous Trial Spawners and open the red-skull Ominous Vaults. At 22.5%, this is a solid drop rate once you can consistently clear Ominous Trials. The Breeze Rod duplication material means you need to farm the Breeze mob regularly for multiple copies. The Ominous Trial guide explains how to trigger and complete the harder mode.

---

16. Tide Trim

Source: Elder Guardian (mob drop, not chest loot) | Drop Rate: 20% chance on Elder Guardian death (Looting does not increase this) | Duplicate Material: Prismarine (Java); Prismarine, Prismarine Bricks, or Dark Prismarine (Bedrock)

Design: Flowing tidal wave pattern with prismarine-like textures. Aquatic and fluid in appearance, referencing the Ocean Monument’s aesthetic.

Notes: Elder Guardians are the boss-tier mobs guarding Ocean Monuments — three spawn per Monument (one in the top chamber, two in the side wings). Each Monument gives you three 20% chances per run. Looting III does NOT increase the drop rate for this trim — it stays at 20% regardless. The Elder Guardian does not even need to be killed by the player to trigger the drop. Bring Water Breathing potions and Night Vision for Monument exploration. Bedrock players can also use Prismarine Bricks or Dark Prismarine as the duplication material.

---

17. Ward Trim

Structure: Ancient City | Drop Rate: 5% from Ancient City chests | Duplicate Material: Cobbled Deepslate

Design: Intricate pattern referencing the Warden’s chest cavity — detailed, organic, and unmistakable. Looks like the interior structure of the Warden’s chest.

Notes: Ancient Cities generate in the Deep Dark biome at very deep Y levels. Sneak constantly to avoid activating Sculk Shriekers and summoning the Warden. At 5% per chest, you may need to loot multiple chests across one city or find multiple Ancient Cities. Our Ancient City guide covers safe navigation strategies. Cobbled Deepslate for duplication is plentiful below Y=0.

---

18. Silence Trim

Structure: Ancient City | Drop Rate: 1.2% from Ancient City chests (rarest trim in the game) | Duplicate Material: Cobbled Deepslate

Design: The most detailed trim in the game — sculk-like tendrils and infection patterns cover the majority of the armour surface, unlike all other trims which cover smaller portions. Dark, intricate, and immediately distinctive. The only trim that uses this much surface coverage.

Notes: The Silence trim is the rarest obtainable item through normal gameplay in Minecraft — classified as Epic rarity in the game’s internal rarity system. With a 1.2% chance per chest and a limited number of chests per Ancient City, expect to find and loot multiple Ancient Cities before obtaining it. Once you have one, duplicate immediately before ever applying it. Losing your only Silence trim by applying it without duplicating first is an extremely common and painful mistake. Sneak everywhere in Ancient Cities to avoid triggering the Warden — see our Warden guide for exactly how detection works and how to escape. Both Ward and Silence share the same source and duplication material.

Suggested Collection Order

Not every trim requires endgame progression. Here is the most efficient hunt order based on what you can access at each stage of the game.

Early game (no special preparation needed): Start with Wild (Jungle Temple — 33.3%), Sentry (Pillager Outpost — 25%), Coast (Shipwreck — 16.7%), and Dune (Desert Temple — 14.3%). These are all Overworld structures reachable with basic gear. Wild is now actually the second-easiest trim in the game thanks to its 33.3% rate — jungle biomes are worth prioritising early.

Mid-game (iron/diamond gear, basic exploration): Hit Vex (Woodland Mansion — buy a mansion map from a Cartographer), then visit Trail Ruins for the four archaeology trims (Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, Host). Brushing rare suspicious gravel requires no combat and is completely safe. Focus on the rare-tier gravel blocks specifically.

Mid-to-late game (Nether explored): Collect Rib (Nether Fortress) and Snout (Bastion Remnant) during the same Nether trip where you are farming for the Netherite Upgrade Template. You will be there anyway — grab these while you are at it. See our full Ancient Debris guide for Nether mining strategy.

Mid-game (Ocean Monument): Plan a dedicated Elder Guardian run for Tide. Three kills per Monument, 20% each. Looting III will not help here. Bring Water Breathing and Night Vision potions — our potion brewing guide covers the full setup.

Late game (End dimension accessed): After defeating the Ender Dragon, grab Eye (Stronghold libraries — free 100% grab on the way through), then head to End Cities for Spire. These two trips cover two trims in the same dimension. Our Ender Dragon guide covers defeating the Dragon and accessing the End Gateway.

Endgame (Trial Chambers): Farm Trial Chambers for Bolt (standard Vaults — 6.3%) and Flow (Ominous Vaults — 22.5%). Flow requires Ominous Trials, which need solid gear. Having Netherite armour and good enchantments before Ominous Trials is strongly recommended. See our Ominous Trial guide to trigger the harder mode efficiently.

Final boss tier (Ancient Cities): Save Ancient Cities for last. Ward and Silence require Deep Dark navigation, the constant threat of the Warden, and patience. Silence especially may take multiple city visits at 1.2% per chest. Bring great gear, move slowly, and sneak everywhere. Our Ancient City guide has the complete stealth strategy.

Tips for Collecting All 18 Trims

Duplicate before you apply. Every time you find a trim, your first action should be duplicating it. 7 diamonds and the matching block is cheap compared to refinding the trim. Duplicate to at least 4 copies (one per armour piece) before applying any. For Silence especially, duplicate immediately.

Use a Smithing Table in your base. Set up a permanent Smithing Table near your storage. Applying trims mid-adventure in a random crafting spot wastes time and risks mistakes. Consider using the Crafter block to automate trim duplication if you are working through large quantities.

Use seeds with known structures. Our best Minecraft seeds guide lists seeds with multiple structures close to spawn, which dramatically cuts travel time when collecting trims across multiple structure types.

Try Resin Brick for the new orange colour. Since 1.21.4, Resin Brick gives a bright orange trim colour that looks especially striking on Netherite armour. Collect Resin Clumps from Creaking mobs or Pale Oak trees in the Pale Garden, then smelt them into Resin Bricks before using at the Smithing Table.

Flow trim needs Breeze Rods for duplication. Unlike every other trim, Flow uses a Breeze Rod not a block. Farm Breezes with Looting III to stock up on rods before duplicating. Consider building a mob farm near a Trial Chamber if you need to farm Breezes efficiently.

The Eye trim is the easiest guaranteed trim. Stronghold libraries always have one. If you are on your way to the End Portal anyway, swing through the libraries — it is a free trim with zero RNG involved.

Silence trim: duplicate immediately, apply carefully. If you find a Silence trim, stop what you are doing and duplicate it before anything else. At 1.2% drop rate, losing your only copy by applying it without duplicating is a real and common mistake. The Silence trim has Epic rarity — the only trim in the game at that tier.

Trail Ruins on Bedrock need more brushing. Bedrock Edition has a much lower per-block rate (1.8% vs 8.3% on Java) for all four Trail Ruins trims. Remember that only rare suspicious gravel can drop armor trims — common suspicious gravel cannot. Expect to spend significantly more time brushing on Bedrock and bring extra brushes with durability or a Mending-enchanted one.

Wild trim is more common than the original article suggested. The 33.3% rate (confirmed by the Minecraft Wiki) makes Wild one of the easier early-game trims — easier than Coast, Dune, and Sentry. Jungle Temples are worth hitting early.

Armor trims on Armor Stands make great displays. Once you collect all 18, placing full sets on Armor Stands — one per trim, each with a different material colour — makes a spectacular museum room in your base. Use all 11 colour options including the new Resin Brick orange for the most visually diverse display.

Coordinate hunts on multiplayer. On a Realm or server, splitting up the structure hunt saves enormous time. One player tackles Ocean Monuments while another raids Bastions. Our Minecraft Realms setup guide covers the best way to set up a multiplayer trim-hunting session.

Design Notes — The Lore Behind the Trims

Mojang designed most trims to visually reference their source structure or its inhabitants. A few highlights:

• Snout — Two dots directly mirroring Piglin nostrils. Found in Bastions.
• Rib — Wrapping skeletal ribs. Found in Nether Fortresses where Wither Skeletons roam.
• Ward — Looks like the pattern inside a Warden’s chest cavity. Found in Ancient Cities where the Warden lives.
• Silence — Sculk tendrils spreading across the armour, covering far more surface area than any other trim. From Ancient Cities — the sculk-infested Deep Dark. Epic rarity — the only trim at this tier.
• Spire — Vertical tower lines referencing the tall Purpur pillars of End Cities. Found there.
• Vex — Angular wings referencing the Vex mob. Found in Woodland Mansions where Evokers (who summon Vexes) live.
• Eye — An Eye of Ender pattern. Found in Strongholds — where you throw Eyes of Ender to locate it.
• Flow — Swirling wind spirals. Found in Trial Chambers where the Breeze creates wind.
• Tide — Wave patterns with prismarine texture. Dropped by Elder Guardians in Ocean Monuments.

This design philosophy means collecting all 18 trims doubles as a record of everywhere significant you have been in Minecraft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Collecting all 18 armor trims is essentially a complete tour of Minecraft’s structures across all three dimensions. By the time you have every trim, you will have explored Overworld temples and mansions, Nether fortresses and bastions, the ocean depths, Trail Ruins, the End, and both variants of Trial Chambers. That is the point — wear your trims and let your armour tell the story of where you have been.
