Armor Trims are a relatively new item in Minecraft, added in the 1.20 update. These let you kit out your armor in unique fashion, adding colored patterns of your choosing. To apply them though, you’ll need a Smithing Template, which are semi-rare items that only appear in specific locations and structures throughout Minecraft’s world.
Moreover, each template only has a small chance of appearing in its respective structures, so you may have to spend a while hunting for each one. We’ll explain how to find each template and their chances of spawning so you can fill out your collection. If you need to know how to use these templates, or how to copy them to make more, check out our guide on how to apply Armor Trims in Minecraft.
While this template doesn’t give you an Armor Trim, it is the most important template in the whole game, as it’s required to upgrade Diamond equipment into Netherite. The template spawns in Bastion Remnants, with a 100% chance to spawn in the treasure chest at the center of the structure, and a 10% chance to spawn in the other random chests scattered throughout.
