Why this combo works
The Vex template has a restless, spectral shape. Redstone makes the strokes feel aggressive, while netherite keeps the whole set dark enough for the red to punch through.
Use it for redstone labs, raid farms, mansion builds, or skins with black, crimson, and dark purple details.
How to build Crimson Vex
The full Crimson Vex set needs one trimmed helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. In survival, each smithing operation consumes one Vex template and one redstone trim material.
- 4 armor piecesNetherite helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.
- 4 Vex templatesFind one at Woodland Mansion chests, then duplicate it for the full set.
- 4 Redstone materialsUse minecraft:redstone once per armor piece.
- If starting from 1 templateDuplicate 3 times: 21 diamonds + 3 Cobblestone.
- Find the Vex smithing template from Woodland Mansion chests.
- Duplicate the template until you have 4 copies for the complete armor set.
- At a smithing table, combine each netherite armor piece with the Vex template and
minecraft:redstone. - Repeat for helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots to complete the full Crimson Vex set.

Bedrock notes
Bedrock Edition still expects you to apply trims at a smithing table. Give yourself the netherite armor pieces, then combine each piece with the Vex template and redstone material.
