Apply Your First Sword Trim

Setting Up the Smithing Table

Locate or craft a standard Smithing Table and place it in your world. This is your only crafting station for sword trims—no special blocks are needed.

Gathering Your Materials

You'll need three items:

• A sword of any tier (wood, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, etc.)
• An armor trim template (any of the 16 vanilla trim patterns)
• A trimming mineral (ingot, crystal, or mineral that matches your desired trim color—iron, gold, copper, diamond, emerald, redstone, amethyst, lapis, quartz, or netherite)

Applying the Trim

1. Open the Smithing Table interface

2. Place your armor trim template in the left slot

3. Place your sword in the middle slot

4. Place your chosen mineral in the right slot

5. Collect your trimmed sword from the output

Your sword keeps all original damage values, enchantments, and durability. The trim is purely cosmetic, so experiment freely with different color combinations to match your playstyle.
