Armor trim guide

Coast Armor Trim

The Coast armor trim is a nautical smithing template found around shipwreck loot. Its flowing shape wraps armor with a light, travel-ready pattern.

Look for Coast smithing templates in shipwreck treasure chests. Coast is one of the more accessible trims because shipwrecks are common and treasure chests are easy to check once found.

Coast pairs naturally with blue, white, and copper-toned materials. It is a good pick for ocean bases, explorer skins, and sailor-style armor. Diamond and lapis emphasize the ocean theme, while copper gives the set a weathered ship hardware look.

Added in Minecraft 1.20 for Java and Bedrock gameplay.

Step 1

Find the Coast Template

Shipwreck treasure chests are the main source for the Coast smithing template. The listed drop chance is 16.7%, so the practical search time depends on how quickly you can reach the structure and check its loot source.

Step 2

Duplicate the Template

Duplicate the template at a crafting table with 7 diamonds, 1 Cobblestone, and the original Coast smithing template. The recipe returns 2 templates, which is the normal way to build a full armor set after finding one copy.

Step 4

Java /give Example

This command gives a netherite chestplate with Coast trim using Diamond as the trim material.

/give @p minecraft:netherite_chestplate[minecraft:trim={pattern:"minecraft:coast",material:"minecraft:diamond"}] 1

Bedrock Edition

On Bedrock, create the trim at a smithing table. Give yourself the armor piece first, then combine the armor, the Coast smithing template, and a Diamond trim material in the smithing table UI.

/give @s netherite_chestplate

Bedrock commands cannot fully encode every trimmed armor combination the same way modern Java item components can, so the smithing table step is the reliable method.
