Level up your Minecraft journey with Armor Trims, a key feature that received some new additions with the 1.21 Tricky Trials update. Here are all the Armor Trims and recipes you can currently get in the game.

Despite some captivating content being added with the previous Trails & Tales update – along with unique mobs and archaeological elements – the new 1.21 version is setting the bar even higher with more quality goods for the sandbox fans.

The Tricky Trials update is out and it includes the Mace as the new craftable tool, Copper and Tuff blocks, 20 painting designs, and many more interesting objects, including two new Armor Trims that will increase your defense while making you look cool.

So, here’s everything you need to know about Armor Trims in Minecraft, including every recipe and how to make them.

What are Armor Trims in Minecraft?

Armor Trims are ways to visually customize your armor in the open-world game. They allow you to change the color and design through Armor Trims adding flair and showing off the locations you’ve traveled.

Each has its own design and adds a different color allowing for full customizability and a beautiful look each time.

Additionally, these enhancements not only add flair to your character but also provide a boost to your defense, so you should definitely spend time crafting some.

How to make customizable armor in Minecraft

To customize your armor, you will need to get hold of three things:

  1. An Armor Trim.
  2. An Ore.
  3. A piece of armor to customize.

The armor itself can be crafted normally, while the Armor Trim must be found in the game. It is typically found in notable places, so we’ve gathered all the locations and recipes below.

As for the ores, they will set the color of your armor. Altogether, there are ten ores, making ten possible colors. They are:

  • Iron
  • Copper
  • Gold
  • Lapis
  • Emerald
  • Diamond
  • Netherite
  • Redstone
  • Amethyst
  • Quartz

Once you have an ore, an Armor Trim, and a piece of armor, head over to a Smithing Table and combine the three ingredients. Then, your personalized armor will be made.
