Where to find Sentry Armor Trim in Creative Mode

How to get Sentry Armor Trim in Survival Mode

You can add Sentry Armor Trim to your inventory in Survival mode from a Pillager Outpost. So, let's get started!

1. Find a Pillager Outpost

First, you need to find a Pillager Outpost in Minecraft. A Pillager Outpost is a structure that spawns naturally in the game near a village. Because the Pillager Outpost generates near a village, it can appear in any biome that a village can.

Here is a picture of what a Pillager Outpost in the Taiga biome looks like:
