Armor trims are among the best features Minecraft has received in recent years. For a long time, armor offered the same old designs with a shiny glint for players who chose to enchant their equipment. Armor trims breathed new life into armor and allowed players to don new looks by trimming and adding colors to them.
There are many types of armor trims in the game. Some, like Coast and Wayfinder, are quite easy to find as they generate inside common structures like shipwrecks and ocean ruins. On the other hand, trims like Silence have an extremely low chance of appearing in rare ancient cities.
Finding these structures can be a hassle, and players who want an easier way can use Creative mode or commands to obtain armor trims. The Creative mode inventory is the simplest way to get any armor trim, but if you want a more challenging method, follow this guide to learn the command for trimmed armor in Minecraft.

Can you get trimmed armor using commands in Minecraft Bedrock?

Unfortunately, the trimmed armor command does not work in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, as it lacks support for NBT tags. If you want trimmed armor in Bedrock Edition without exploring, you can search for armor trims in the Creative mode inventory or use the following command:
- /give @p name_armor_trim_smithing_template
In this command, replace name with one of the following smithing template names:
- bolt
- coast
- dune
- eye
- flow
- host
- raiser
- rib
- sentry
- shaper
- silence
- snout
- spire
- tide
- vex
- ward
- wayfinder
- wild
Executing this command will give you an armor trim in Bedrock Edition. Place the armor trim on a smithing table along with an armor piece and a smithing material to apply the trim.
Please keep in mind here that using cheats in Bedrock Edition disables achievements. You cannot re-enable achievements by turning off cheats.
