Host Armor Trim is a rare smithing template item that lets you customize the look of your armor in Minecraft 1.20. If you want to add that distinctive trim design to your gear, here’s everything you need to know about finding and using it.
What Is Host Armor Trim?
Host Armor Trim is a smithing template introduced in Minecraft 1.20. You use it at a Smithing Table to apply a trim pattern to your armor. The pattern gives your armor a unique visual design without changing its stats or durability. It’s one of the rarer trim templates, so finding it takes some work.
How to Get Host Armor Trim in Survival Mode
You can find Host Armor Trim in Suspicious Gravel blocks inside Trail Ruins. You’ll need to brush the Suspicious Gravel with a Brush to extract the item. Trail Ruins generate in warm biomes underground, so look there if you want this trim naturally.
Where to Find It in Creative Mode
In Creative mode, you can find Host Armor Trim in the Ingredients tab of your inventory. Just search for it or scroll through and grab what you need.
Using the Give Command

How to Apply the Trim to Your Armor
Once you have Host Armor Trim, here’s how to use it:
- Open a Smithing Table
- Place your armor piece in the first slot
- Place the Host Armor Trim template in the second slot
- Place your choice of material (copper, gold, iron, etc.) in the third slot
- The trimmed armor appears on the right
The material you choose determines the color of the trim. Different materials create different color schemes on your armor.
