Armor trim command

Updated: 30 October 2026

Trimmed armor (Java 1.20.5+)

/give @p diamond_chestplate[trim={material:"gold",pattern:"sentry"}] 1

pattern is the design and material its color.

Pattern IDs

Materials

quartz, iron, netherite, redstone, copper, gold, emerald, diamond, lapis, amethyst and resin (1.21.4+). A material that matches the armor is shown slightly darker so it still stands out.

Give the templates

/give @p sentry_armor_trim_smithing_template 1
/give @p netherite_upgrade_smithing_template 1

Trim templates are named <pattern>_armor_trim_smithing_template. Give templates instead of finished armor when players should use the smithing table themselves.

Trim and enchantments together

/give @p netherite_helmet[trim={material:"diamond",pattern:"spire"},enchantments={protection:4,unbreaking:3}] 1

This uses the 1.21.5+ enchantment format. For a full set, see the strongest armor guide.

Older Java and Bedrock

Java 1.20.4 and earlier used NBT: {Trim:{material:"gold",pattern:"sentry"}}. Bedrock /give cannot add trims, so give the template and use a smithing table. The trim generator writes all four pieces at once.

Common questions

• The trim does not show. It appears on worn armor and the inventory icon. On leather armor some colors are hard to see.
• Two patterns on one piece? No, one trim per piece, but each piece can differ.
• Copy a template in survival? One template, 7 diamonds and the matching block make two in a crafting table.
