How to get Armor Trims in Minecraft - All Armor Trim Locations

Armor Trims are found within chests at specified, dangerous locations in Minecraft. The chests will contain something called a Smithing Template, which is used to apply a specific armor trim. 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.

Bolt Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (1)

The Bolt Armor Trim is the first of the two new Armor Trims in the Tricky Trials update. Its Armor Trim Template is found deep underground in the new Trial Chambers. The first way to get it is by encountering it in one of the many reward chests scattered around the Trial Chamber. The second way to obtain it is by taking on a Trial Spawner, beating it, and using the Trial Key to open a Vault containing the Bolt Armor Trim Smithing Template.

Coast Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (2)

As the name implies, the Coast Armor Trim can be found in Shipwrecks. They are one of the most common ocean structures in Minecraft, giving players plenty of opportunities to get their first Armor Trim. The Coast Armor Trim can be found in any of the potential three chests that Shipwrecks can generate with.

Dune Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (3)

Like with the Coast Armor Trim, the name of this template gives away where it is found. Dune Armor Trim Templates can only be found in the chests at the bottom of Desert Temples. If you've not explored one of these temples before, you must dig through the floor carefully to get to the chests. Players who aren't cautious enough will fall through the floor and set off the TNT trap near the treasure.

Eye Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (4)

The Eye Armor Trim is one of our favorites, but if you’re playing Minecraft the conventional way, you have a while to go until you find this one. This Smithing Template is found in Strongholds, likely in the Library or the Altar chests. I recommend using Eyes of Ender to find a Stronghold, then looking for the End Portal and this template at the same time.

Flow Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (5)

The Flow Armor Trim is the second Armor Trim added to Minecraft 1.21. It's much harder to get than the Bolt Armor Trim because it requires players to get the Bad Omen effect and take on an Ominous Trial. After getting an Ominous Trial Key, players can get the Flow Armor Trim in the next Ominous Vault they open. It is not guaranteed, but as you keep doing more Ominous Trials, you'll eventually find this template.

Host Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (6)

The Host Armor Trim Template is one of several only found in Trail Ruins structures. Players must brush the suspicious gravel uncovered in these ruins to unearth this Smithing Template. It has about an 8% chance of being found in a suspicious gravel block.

Raiser Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (7)

The Raiser Armor Trim is another archaeology-based Armor Trim only found in Trail Ruins. It has an 8.3% chance of appearing after brushing Suspicious Gravel. If you're looking to gather a set of Armor Trims quickly, getting the Raiser and other Trail Ruins Armor Trims is a great route to take.

Rib Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (8)

In the Nether, Nether Fortresses are one of the most dangerous places. Unfortunately, these Fortresses are also home to the elusive Rib Armor Trim Smithing Template. It is one of the most perilous locations Armor Trims can be found in, so you’ll need to be extra careful. Search a Nether Fortress chest carefully for the template and make a hasty retreat once you've found it.

Sentry Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (9)

The Sentry Armor Trim Smithing Template can be found at Pillager Outposts. You'll need to fight your way through waves of Pillagers to check the chest at the top of the outpost for this Smithing Template. Since there is only one chest in each Pillager Outpost, this is one of the harder templates to find.

Silence Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (10)

The Silence Armor Trim Smithing Template is one of the many treasures found within Ancient Cities. They can be found in any of the chests scattered across the city. Just be careful not to wake the Warden as you are sneaking around.

Shaper Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (11)

The Shaper Armor Trim is the third of the four major archaeology-based Armor Trims. It is only found within Trails Ruins structures. Like the other trims, it has an 8.3% chance of being brushed out of Suspicious Gravel.

Snout Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (12)

Generating in perhaps the single most dangerous Nether location, Snout Armor Trim Smithing Templates appear in Bastion Remnants. They’re more common in the Hoglin Stable variant of the Bastion Remnant chests. While searching for this one, stop by a Nether Fortress for the Rib Armor Trim Smithing Template.

Spire Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (13)

Perhaps one of the last Armor Trims you’ll find is the Spire Armor Trim, which is located in the chests in End Cities. Some claim they’re more likely to generate aboard ships (and near Elytras), but we can’t confirm this. Decorate your armor with it to celebrate your victory against the Ender Dragon!

Tide Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (14)

The Tide Armor Trim is a rare drop from Elder Guardians. They only have a 20% chance of dropping this Smithing Template, so you'll potentially need to take down at least 5 to get it. To do so, you'll need to continuously fight these strong mobs or work hard to build a Guardian Farm. While this may be difficult to accomplish, the beauty of this Armor Trim is worth the time!

Vex Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (15)

The Vex Armor Trim is incredibly rare because it is found in one of the rarest Overworld structures. To get it, you'll need to find a Woodland Mansion. Take out the monsters residing in the Mansion while opening all its chests in hopes of finding this rare reward.

Ward Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (16)

The Ward Armor is another hard-to-obtain Armor Trim only found in chests in the Ancient City. You’ll have to dodge the Warden to find this Ward Armor Trim Smithing Template in one of the many chests. If luck is on your side, you'll find it, and the Silence Armor Trim will be in the same city.

Wayfinder Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (17)

The Wayfinder Armor Trim is the final Armor Trim that can only be found using Archeology. You’ll need to brush Suspicious Gravel in Trail Ruin structures to uncover it. It’s a rare drop, so stay vigilant!

Wild Armor Trim

All Armor Trim Locations in Minecraft (18)

The Wild Armor Trim is the last on our list and one that can be found in Jungle Temples. It's a harder Armor Trim to find due to the rarity of Jungle Temples. When you manage to find one, make sure to watch out for its traps while you search the chests for this template.
