Building with it

The sentry trim comes from pillager outposts, and its blocky pattern is one of the boldest in the set. Duplicating a template takes seven diamonds and the block the structure is built from, which for the sentry means cobblestone.

In practice

The sentry trim comes from pillager outposts, which are among the easiest structures to raid early in a world. That makes it one of the first patterns most players ever apply, and its blocky shoulders suit iron armour better than most of the finer trims. Pillager outposts are among the easiest structures to raid, which is why sentry is often a player's first trim. The catch is the pillagers themselves: killing a captain gives bad omen, so leaving the outpost means walking into a raid unless you drink milk first.
