Sentry

The Sentry smithing template is an angular guard-style emblem that anchors at the chest and repeats on the helmet. It feels institutional — castle guards, town watch, palace garrison.

Drops from the top-floor chest of pillager outposts at a generous 25% per chest — the highest drop rate of any trim in the game. Locate outposts via exploration, climb the tower, fight off the patrols, and crack the chest. Three or four outposts on average will yield a Sentry template.

Best on Iron + Quartz for that classic palace-guard look, Diamond + Gold for royal ceremonial fits, or Netherite + Emerald for a darker, militarised feel.
