Spire Armor Trim Smithing Template
End City loot template that engraves tall spire-like lines onto armor at a smithing table.
Description
To apply the trim, place one armor piece, one trim material (iron, gold, diamond, netherite, emerald, redstone, lapis, copper, amethyst or quartz) and the template into a smithing table; it is consumed in the process. Because the original is lost on use, players duplicate copies by combining one existing template with seven diamonds and one purpur block in the smithing table, yielding two templates. The visual effect is purely decorative and does not alter armor stats.

How to use the Spire Armor Trim in Minecraft
-
1
Find the template
Travel to the End and locate an End City on the outer islands, then loot its chests; each chest has about a 16% chance to hold the Spire Armor Trim.
-
2
Duplicate it first
Applying the trim consumes the template, so combine the Spire template with 7 diamonds and 1 purpur block in a smithing table to get 2 copies before you use one.
-
3
Apply the trim
Open a smithing table and place one armor piece, one trim material (iron, gold, diamond, netherite, emerald, redstone, lapis, copper, amethyst or quartz) and the Spire template together.
-
4
Equip and repeat
Take the trimmed armor and wear it; repeat for each of the four armor slots to give a full set the matching spire pattern.
The trim is purely cosmetic and never changes armor or protection values. The pattern color comes from the trim material you choose, not from the template itself.
