Minecraft offers many ways to customize the game, from changing your character’s skin to using texture packs. The addition of armor trims gives us even more ways to make our characters look good in any situation. Here is our list of all 11 Minecraft armor trims.
Minecraft Armor Trim Materials
To customize your armor with trims in Minecraft you will need to get hold of three things:
- An Armor Trim.
- An Ore.
- A piece of armor to customize.
As of now, there are 11 armor trims in Minecraft that you can customize with ten different resources. This gives us over 100 combinations, ranging from quartz-colored trims to diamond and Netherite. All 11 armor trims use the following materials to change their color:
- Iron.
- Redstone.
- Copper.
- Gold.
- Quartz.
- Amethyst.
- Emerald.
- Lapis.
- Diamond.
- Netherite.
