A smithing table is a utility block used to upgrade diamond gear into netherite gear, a process that keeps all enchantments. It also serves as a toolsmith's job site block.

Obtaining

Smithing tables can be obtained from a village or crafting.

Natural generation

Smithing tables can spawn naturally inside toolsmith houses in villages.

Breaking

Smithing tables can be broken by hand, but using an axe speeds up the process.

Usage

Upgrading diamond gear to netherite gear

Smithing Table GUI

The GUI for the smithing table.

While upgrading, the newly crafted netherite gear retains the enchantments, prior work penalty and number of durability points lost (instead of the remaining durability) from the diamond gear.

Upgrading gear does not remove incompatible enchantments, such as multiple different Protection enchantments.

Unlike anvils, using a smithing table to upgrade diamond gear to netherite gear costs no experience and does not increase the prior work penalty.

Smithing table recipes use the data pack system.

Changing profession

If a village contains a smithing table that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager who hasn't already chosen a job site block has a chance to change their profession to toolsmith. If a villager with this profession has already been traded with, it cannot change jobs.

Fuel

Smithing tables can be used as fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Note Blocks

Smithing tables can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sound.
