Armor trim guide

Snout Armor Trim

The Snout armor trim is a Bastion Remnant pattern with a Piglin-inspired identity. It is one of the strongest Nether-themed trims.

Find Snout smithing templates in Bastion Remnant chests. Snout is fairly accessible once you can safely loot bastions, but Piglins and brutes make the trip risky.

Snout looks natural with gold, netherite, and redstone. It fits Piglin trading halls, bastion builds, and Nether survival sets. Gold is the classic Piglin material, netherite keeps it dark, and redstone gives it a dangerous edge.

Added in Minecraft 1.20 for Java and Bedrock gameplay.

Step 1

Find the Snout Template

Bastion Remnant chests are the main source for the Snout 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 Blackstone, and the original Snout smithing template. The recipe returns 2 templates, which is the normal way to build a full armor set after finding one copy.

Step 3

Choose Materials for Snout

Gold is the classic Piglin material, netherite keeps it dark, and redstone gives it a dangerous edge.

Step 4

Java /give Example

This command gives a netherite chestplate with Snout trim using Gold as the trim material.

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

Bedrock Edition

On Bedrock, create the trim at a smithing table. Give yourself the armor piece first, then combine the armor, the Snout smithing template, and a Gold 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.
