In simple terms, the Silence Armor Trim is a smithing template that can be used on a smithing table with any piece of armor and an Overworld mineral like iron, diamond, emerald, etc. Once placed on the smithing table, it can apply a special design to the armor piece. It vanishes once it is used, but you can also duplicate it using a cobbled deepslate block and seven diamonds on a crafting table.

Ancient cities are the only place where you can find Silence Armor Trim (Image via Mojang)

The Silence Armor Trim is a rare item with only a 1.2% chance of being found in one of the chests present in an ancient city. This makes it an extremely rare and difficult item to obtain in Minecraft. First, the ancient city itself is a rare structure that generates deep in caves, within the Deep Dark biome. This structure is plagued by sculk blocks, some of which can summon the terrifying Warden mob.

If you want the armor trim, you need to head down to the caves, find an ancient city, and silently remove all sculk shrieking blocks from the area before looting it. Once the task is complete, you need to loot every chest in that structure to find the Silence Armor Trim. You may need to loot multiple ancient cities as well since the chance of finding the armor trim in a chest is so low.

Once the Silence Armor Trim is found, you can use it on an armor piece through the smithing table. However, you should first duplicate armor trim because of its rarity. On the crafting table, place the smithing template at the top, cobbled deepslate block in the middle, and fill the remaining slots with diamonds. This is the only way to duplicate a Silence Armor Trim.

Once this is done, you can apply it to any armor. Simply select an armor piece, the Silence Armor Trim, and an Overworld mineral like iron, netherite, emerald, etc., and place them on the smithing table. You will notice that the design will be applied to the armor, and the color of the design is determined by the mineral used. This is how you can use the Silence Armor Trim in Minecraft.
