All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft

2025-04-06

Introduced in the 1.20 update, Armor Trims are a great way to spice up the look of your usually basic-looking armor. With over a dozen templates to choose from essentially giving over 100K customization options, you can make your armor set unique from others.

These are based on templates that are scattered all over your world and finding them can be a bit challenging. To help you out, I'll show you where to find every Armor Trim in Minecraft.

How to get Armor Trims in Minecraft - All Smithing Template Locations

Armor Trims are made from Smithing Template found within chests at specified, dangerous locations in Minecraft. These templates are then used in a Smithing Table along with another item to give it a different accent. Some Armor Trims will take multiple steps to find, while others will only require you to find the structure they reside in.

In this guide, I'll let you know where to find all 18 Armor Trim Smithing Templates, including those found in the Tricky Trials update, and how you can get them for yourself.

How to Duplicate Smithing Template in Minecraft

To duplicate a Smithing Template you need seven Diamonds, an original Smithing Template, and a block that is related to the smithing template you are duplicating. Given how rare it is to obtain a template, duplicating can come in handy especially if you want to apply the same trim to your other armor.

Here's a list of related blocks you need to duplicate a specific Smithing Template:

Coast Armor Trim Template Cobblestone
Dune Armor Trim Template Sandstone
