First and foremost, you must find trail ruins to acquire the Host armor trim. It's not found anywhere else in the game apart from the buried ancient structure. You must gather a few items, blocks, and mobs to explore the world and find the armor trim.

You also must craft the new brush tool since the armor trim will only be found inside the new suspicious gravel block in the trail ruins. Next, you must get a horse to navigate through the in-game world because trail ruins are primarily concealed underground, with a few blocks of terracotta and gravel sticking out on the surface. So, to easily identify them, you must travel low to the ground.

Biomes like taiga, snowy taiga, old-growth birch forest, old-growth taiga, and jungles are typically where trail ruins are generated. They can also be situated close to rivers, aquifers, or oceans. Therefore, you must be alert for any odd-looking terracotta or gravel block that sticks out in any area.

Digging through the new structure will reveal gravel blocks that are slightly different in texture; these will be the new suspicious gravel blocks. Keep an eye out for these and gently brush them to reveal any loot concealed within them.

Host armor trim has only a meager 8.3% chance of being inside these blocks. Thus, you might need to locate and excavate several trail ruins before finding the exact armor trim. Once you obtain it, it's easy to reproduce the armor trim using one terracotta block and seven diamonds on a crafting table.
