Wayfinder
The Wayfinder smithing template uses a four-directional compass-rose motif that reads cleanly from every angle — possibly the most "logo-shaped" trim of the bunch. It's a favourite among players who roleplay cartographer / scout characters.
Like Raiser and Shaper, brush suspicious gravel in Trail Ruins with about a 2.8% chance per gravel block. Three or four trail-ruin sweeps usually surfaces a copy.
Pairs beautifully with Iron + Copper ("Wayfinder") for that explorer's aesthetic, Diamond + Lapis for a maritime navigator look, or Netherite + Quartz for a clean monochrome compass.
Armor trims are cosmetic only — no change to stats, durability or enchantments.

Duplication
Duplicate the template at a crafting table with 7 diamonds and 1 Terracotta alongside the original — yields 2 copies.
×2How to get the Wayfinder trim
Wayfinder is brushed from suspicious gravel in Trail Ruins, on the same loot table as Raiser and Shaper. There is no separate location and no way to bias a roll toward one of the three.
Trail Ruins arrived in 1.20.3 alongside the archaeology system, and they are the only source — no chest anywhere in the game contains Wayfinder.
Route tip Excavate before you brush. The gravel is layered through the buried structure, not just on the exposed paths, so shovel the whole footprint down first and brush in rows afterwards. Carry spare brushes; a single ruin will get through several.

Apply the Wayfinder template at a smithing table with diamond (or any other material) as the third ingredient.
