Armor Trim
Armor Trim is a newer feature that came out in the update in 1.20. It is a welcome change to the world of Minecraft allowing us that extra customization that we have been looking for with our armor. Now we have the opportunity to change the standard Armor look into many different variations wether it be a full set of the same Armor trim or a Mix of different armor trims. Just a quick note, the Armor Trims do not add any hit point value it is just for looks.
Below I have put together a guide of the armor trims to help guide you adventures and so you know what is needed to use them.
* 1st tip, I recommend that make a copy of any trim before you use it, unlike the banner templates it is a one use item then disappears, if you want to be able to use it over and over again you will need to copy the template and keep one safe so you can always do it again if you wanted to.*
