Smithing Template

Smithing templates are items used in smithing tables to alter tools or armor, a process which keeps all enchantments. Smithing templates are consumed when used, but can be duplicated in a crafting table using an existing smithing template, the material it is made out of and diamonds.

Netherite upgrade smithing templates are found only in bastion remnants and are required to upgrade diamond tools and armor to their netherite equivalents.

Armor trim smithing templates are a set of eleven items found in various structures, and are used to apply decorative trims to armor.

Smithing templates can be found in various structures and can be duplicated using seven diamonds and an item based on the template.

The netherite upgrade and the rib armor trim are crafted from netherrack; the coast, sentry, and vex armor trims are crafted from cobblestone; the dune armor trim is crafted from sandstone; the eye armor trim is crafted from end stone; the snout armor trim is crafted from blackstone; the spire armor trim is crafted from purpur block; the tide armor trim is crafted from prismarine; the ward armor trim is crafted from cobbled deepslate; and the wild armor trim is crafted from mossy cobblestone.
