Minecraft: All 16 Armor Trim Smithing Template Locations, Explained
Minecraft 1.20 Trails & Tails introduced Armor Trim Smithing Templates. Armor trim can be applied to Helmets, Chestplates, Leggings, and Boots, and they have no gameplay advantage — armor trims are purely cosmetic.
To unlock the 16 new patterns that Armor Trim Smithing Templates each hold, you need to find the templates in the Overworld. Each Armor Trim Smithing Template is found in its respective area’s chest.
Here is where and how to find all Armor Trim Smithing Templates in Minecraft:
- Trail Ruins: Wayfinder, Raiser, Shaper, and Host Armor Trims
- Since Trail Ruins don’t have chests, templates are found by brushing Suspicious Gravel.
- Pillager Outpost: Sentry Armor Trim
- Desert Pyramid: Dune Armor Trim
- Shipwreck: Coast Armor Trim
- Jungle Temple: Wild Armor Trim
- Ocean Monument: Tide Armor Trim
- Since Ocean Monuments don’t have chests, the Tide Armor Trim Template can drop from defeated Elder Guardians.

- Nether Fortress: Rib Armor Trim
- Bastion Remnant: Snout Armor Trim
- Stronghold: Eye Armor Trim
- End City: Spire Armor Trim
