- Armour trims are cosmetic patterns. They don't change protection or stats.
- You need a
trim template, an armour piece and a material (like gold or amethyst) in a smithing table. - Copy a template with 7 diamonds plus a matching block.
Trims are how you make your armour look like nobody else's. Here's where every template is found and how to put them on.
How to apply a trim
- Open a
smithing table. - Put in the
trim template, then the armour piece, then the material. - Take the trimmed armour. The template is used up.
The material sets the trim's colour: iron, copper, gold, lapis, emerald, diamond, netherite, redstone, amethyst, quartz or resin.

Copying templates
Craft a template with 7 diamonds and its matching block to get 2 templates. For example, Sentry uses cobblestone and Wild uses mossy cobblestone. The recipe book shows the block for each one.
Copy before you use itApplying a trim uses up the template. Duplicate it first if you want a full matching set.
Silence is the flexAt a 1.2% chance in ancient cities, Silence is the hardest trim to get. Ancient cities are also full of wardens, so be careful in Hardcore.
