Minecraft Ward Armor Trim
Ward gives the chest a rib-like center and frames it with strong bands around the waist and limbs. It joined Minecraft in Java Edition 1.20 and Bedrock Edition 1.20.0.

Look for Ward in normal ancient city loot chests. Each has a 5% chance to contain one template in Java 1.21 and Bedrock 1.21.0; the separate ice box chests are excluded.
Guide scope: Minecraft 1.21. Chances refer to the container, archaeology roll, or mob drop described above.
How to Duplicate the Ward Armor Trim
Keep a spare before you start smithing. Combine one Ward armor trim smithing template, one Cobbled deepslate, and seven diamonds at a crafting table to make two templates.
Place the template in the top-middle slot and the duplication material in the center. Fill the remaining seven slots with diamonds. Applying a trim at a smithing table consumes one template; the pattern changes appearance, not armor protection.
Try the Ward Trim on Your Skin
Take Ward from a template in your inventory to a look you can actually see. Test the pattern on different armor bases and compare all ten trim materials.
