The Sentry Armor Trim smithing template is a rare item used at a smithing table to apply the Sentry Armor Trim design to armor or to upgrade gear. It can be duplicated with diamonds once obtained, though the original must be found first.
Rows appear only when the underlying value is verified: the Java 1.8–1.12.2 row requires a reviewed historical numerical ID, and the Bedrock row appears only when this exact namespaced ID exists in the Bedrock registry.

Sentry Armor Trim in Minecraft: Pillager Outpost Smithing Template
Quick answer: Use minecraft:sentry_armor_trim_smithing_template in Java Edition commands. The sentry trim is looted from pillager outpost chests, applied to armor at a smithing table, and duplicated with diamonds and cobblestone so one find trims a whole set.
Finding and duplicating the sentry trim
Pillager outposts spawn in most Overworld biomes, and their top-floor chest has a chance to hold the sentry armor trim. Outposts are common enough that a short exploration trip usually lands one, though the chest is guarded by crossbow pillagers.
Once you have a single template, never use it up: duplicate it first at a crafting table with seven diamonds and one cobblestone around the template. The original is returned alongside a copy, so every trim after the first costs only diamonds.
Always duplicate before applying; the smithing table consumes the template.
Applying armor trims
At a smithing table, combine any armor piece, the sentry template, and a trim material such as iron, gold, emerald, diamond, redstone, lapis, amethyst, quartz, netherite, copper, or resin. The material sets the pattern color.
Trims are purely cosmetic and work on every armor tier from leather to netherite, so you can restyle an old set before upgrading it. Mixing trim patterns across helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots is where the visual builds get interesting.
