Not only is it a rare drop, but you also have to battle against the Warden and survive. So, what’s the best method to complete this achievement? We have an excellent seed for you to use and also have the locations of each of the armor trims as well.
Getting Started
Now that you’re ready to get started, visit the following seed before collecting some basic equipment such as a pickaxe, sword, and brush: 1029446582854060852. You’ll need to gather a feather, a copper ingot, and a stick to make your brush but luckily enough there is some copper in the mountain just behind spawn.
There you can also pick up some cobblestone to make a quick stone pickaxe and sword. This is all you need for now to get started on your adventure.
This seed is for Bedrock only as seeds on Bedrock and Java do not share the same structure placements, therefore the locations are not guaranteed to be similar on Java.
Time To Mine
Once you have your equipment, it’s time to head toward the first set of coordinates which take you to a Trail Ruin.Located at X: -903, Y: 109, Z: 227, you will want to dig a few blocks away from the exact location so asnot to break the suspicious gravel by accident.
When you have reached the correct spot,use your brush on the suspicious gravel in front of youto gather the Wayfinder armor trim.This trim has a higher drop rate, however, trail ruins aren’t always easy to find and uncover.
Rising Tides
The next armor trim we will make our way to is the Tide trim.Within each Ocean Temple are three Elder Guardians you may battle. The trim has a20 percent drop rate, which gives you a high chance to receive it when going up against one of these enemies.
You will want to make your way to coordinates X: 2760, Z: 1620, where you will finda temple with another temple close by at X: 2869, Z: 1505. This allows you six chances at the trim close to spawn.
Don’t Get Vexed
The Vexarmor trim is obtainable by visiting a spooky Mansion in the woods.This multi-floored mansion can feel like a maze, so we’ve made things easier for you. When you go up the stairs, take a left and follow the hallway until you see a boxing ring on your right close to coordinatesX: -686, Z: 702.
Above the boxing ring you will find a chest that houses the Vex armor trim.Just be wary of the many enemies the mansion brings about!

Deep Dark Delight
The final overworld armor trims are Ward and Silence.Silence has the lowest drop rate of all the trims in the game, therefore making it one of the hardest to obtain.Thankfully, we have located the trim within this seed and we’re bringing you straight to it.
You’ll have to do some digging to get to coordinatesX: -2148, Y: -43, Z: 1683in the Deep Dark, but it’s a worthwhile trip given not only the armor trims but also all the various loot you may find in the Ancient City.
Avoid The Warden
While keeping the Warden in mind, you’ll want toeither sneak or walk on wool to keep yourself safeto bring home the Ward trim from the Ancient City. Otherwise, you’ll be battling the Warden and that’s not what we’re here for.
Make your way to locationX: -2222, Y: -45, Z: 1624, and open the chest to grab yourself the trim before keeping quiet and getting the heck out of there! We hope you made it safely because it’s time to do the real dirty work now.
Trip To The Nether
Once you have activated a Nether Portal (one can easily be found close to spawn at X: -641, Z: 233), you will be making a journey across the Nether to get to the Fortress and obtain your Rib armor trim. Make sure to wear a piece of gold and be ready to battle any enemies you come across because you will be moving to the following coordinates to find the armor trimX: -220, Y: 82, Z: 396.
Once you’ve looted the chests in the Fortress, you’re ready to make your way to the Bastion.While in the Nether you may want to take a moment to battle against the Endermen to obtain twelve Ender Pearls.You’ll need these as well as six Blaze Rods to create the twelve Ender Eyes to activate the End Portal.
There are Withered Forests throughout the Nether where you may easily find the most Endermen. The Blaze Rods come from battling against Blaze who spawn in the Fortress, so don’t leave just yet once you have your armor trim, you still need those rods.
Grab Your Snout
Bastions are Piglin Fortresses located in the Nether. It only makes sense that this is where you will find the Snout armor trim.Even when wearing gold, certain Piglins will make their mark on you if you get too close, so be careful when working your way toward coordinatesX: 321, Y: 38, Z: 715to grab your armor trim.
Be sure to look around and grab some more good loot while you’re there. You can also find the Netherite Upgrade within the Bastion Treasure Room in the center of the bottom, so don’t forget to grab that.

Dealing With The Dragon
The final armor trim we need for the achievement is the Spire trim. You’ll want to start by digging down atX: -509, Y: 27, Z: 176where you’ll find the End Portal room.
Remember to always dig carefully so you don’t hit lava or fall from a great height.
Once you’ve obtained your twelve Eye of Ender and filled the portal, you are ready to battle against the Dragon.Defeating the Dragon results in an End Gateway opening that you can use to further travel into the End where you will find End Cities.
This trim requires a bit of a journey through the End, but if you bring a good pickaxe or enough solid blocks, you can build yourself bridges from one island to the next to safely traverse.You can also wear a pumpkin head to avoid battling with the pesky Endermen who live here.Located atX: -2131, Y: 116, Z: -3344is a chest containing the Spire armor trim which will round out the full collection of eight for the achievement.
Now you just need tofind yourself a Smithing tableand you’re all set.
Sniffing Out More Fun
This seed also has easy access to the other eight armor trims close to spawn as well as multiple important buildings you may want to explore and even a ruined portal.A Sniffer egg can be found at X: -541, Y: 63, Z: 147.It’s located in the suspicious sand in the ruins in front of aDesert Temple.
Bring a piece of dirt to place under the block of suspicious sand to keep it from falling when you’re trying to brush it. Take a moment to look around the area and you’ll find a Jungle Temple, a Pillager Outpost, and multiple Villages all close to spawn as well.
