Rib

The Rib smithing template uses a clear ribcage motif on the chestplate, with bony curves wrapping the shoulders. It's one of the most overtly menacing trims — feels at home on Wither-skull builds and skeleton-themed PvP fits.

Drops from Nether Fortress chests at 6.7% per chest. Each fortress has a handful of corridor and barracks chests — scout through with a Fire Resistance potion and check them all. Two or three fortresses' worth of looting usually surfaces a copy.

Best on Netherite + Diamond for the iconic blue-on-black skeletal look, Iron + Quartz for bone-white contrast, or Diamond + Redstone if you want a "bleeding rib" effect.
