Mojang announced Minecraft Dungeons 2 during Minecraft Live 2026, confirming its release in Fall 2026.

How to get Silence Armor Trim in Minecraft

Players can obtain the Silence Armor Trim in Minecraft by exploring Ancient City chests, which have a spawn rate of approximately 1%. These cities are located in fully eroded canyons, primarily in the snow mountains biome. In Creative Mode, players can access an unlimited supply of Silence Armor Trims by entering the command /gamemode creative. To craft or duplicate the trim, players need to combine it with seven Diamonds and one Coobled Deepslate at a crafting table. Diamonds can be obtained by smelting Diamond Ores or breaking down a Block of Diamond, while Coobled Deepslate can be mined from Deepslate blocks found in Ancient Cities. To personalize armor with the Silence Armor Trim, players must use a Smithing Table, combining the trim with an armor piece and a crafting material, which affects the color of the final product.
