How To Craft Customized Armors in Minecraft [Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners]

 The ability for players to alter their look and overall gameplay experience has long been available in Minecraft. However, Trails & Tales 1.20 added a new feature that enhances your capacity to express yourself even more. You may modify your armor by trimming it and adding a wide range of patterns and colors thanks to the invention of smithing template goods.

How to Create Unique Armor Designs in Minecraft: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

16 distinct armor trim templates may be used at a smithing table in Minecraft to make personalized armor as of the 1.20.4 release. The combination of armor types and trim patterns/colors is nearly unlimited, allowing you to create a unique look. The game's armor customization options are as follows.

Enhance Your Style: Customizing Armor through Trimming in Minecraft

The Overworld, Nether, and End presently have all 16 trimming smithing templates that are currently accessible in Minecraft. Even though these goods aren't always guaranteed to occur and will partly depend on RNG (Random Number Generation), those who are searching for certain patterns to meet their needs will want to know where these templates can be looted or dumped.

Brushing suspicious gravel blocks within the path destroys constructions, yielding four templates in addition to looting containers. Killing elder guardian mobs is also required to get one.

Armor Trim Smithing Templates and Locations in Minecraft for Customization:

• Ancient Cities: Silence Trim
• Bastion Remnants: Snout Trim
• Desert Pyramids: Dune Trim
• End Cities: Spire Trim
• Elder Guardian Drops: Tide Trim
• Jungle Temples: Wild Trim
• Nether Fortresses: Rib Trim
• Pillager Outposts: Sentry Trim
• Shipwrecks: Coast Trim
• Strongholds: Eye Trim
• Trail Ruins Suspicious Gravel: Host, Raiser, Shaper, and Wayfinder Trims
• Woodland Mansions: Vex Trims

Note: These smithing templates can be used to customize armor in Minecraft and offer unique designs at specific locations throughout the game world.

After you've created your armor and trim templates, you'll need the appropriate materials to color the patterns on the armor. Aside from applying multiple colors to an armor set, it is also possible to apply a material that complements the armor (gold trim on gold armor, for example). However, the aesthetic appeal may be inadequate in this scenario.

Armor Trim Materials and Colors in Minecraft 1.20:

• Emeralds - Green
• Amethyst Shards - Purple
• Redstone Dust - Red
• Lapis Lazuli - Blue
• Nether Quartz—White and Grey
• Netherite Ingots—Dark Grey and Black
• Diamonds - Aqua Blue
• Gold Ingots—Yellow and Orange
• Iron Ingots—Silver, Grey, and Dark Grey
• Copper Ingots—Orange and Brown

These materials can be used to customize the colors of armor trims in Minecraft, allowing you to create unique and personalized looks for your character.

All that remains is to mix your templates, armor, and the proper color materials at a smithing table. No matter if the table was made by you or was produced naturally for a villager, any of these tables will work.

Crafting Customized Armor Trims in Minecraft: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Locate a smithing table and interact with it to access its interface.
2. Place the armor piece you wish to customize in the center slot of the smithing table.
3. Insert the desired trimming smithing template into the left slot, and place the material for coloring the trim in the right slot.
4. To preview the combined armor and trim appearance, observe the in-game representation displayed next to the output slot on an armor rack. If the result doesn't meet your expectations, you can make adjustments by swapping templates, armor pieces, or color materials.
5. Once satisfied with the customized armor, retrieve the trimmed armor piece from the output slot.

By following these steps, you can successfully trim and personalize your armor in Minecraft 1.20, creating a unique and customized look for your character.

Remember that the trim will still be visible if a piece of armor composed of one material has that material's trim applied to it. However, the pattern's color will be darker than if it were placed on a different sort of armor.

An Illustrative Example of Armor Trimming in Minecraft:

Let's explore how the choice of materials can impact the appearance of armor trims. When applying iron ingot-based patterns to iron armor, you'll observe that the resulting trim has a subtly darker shade of grey. In contrast, if the same pattern is applied to netherite armor, the trim color appears brighter and more pronounced.

By carefully selecting the materials for your armor trims, you can achieve distinct visual effects that complement the overall aesthetic of your Minecraft character.
