A smithing table is a utility block used to upgrade diamond gear into netherite gear using netherite ingot[until JE 1.20], or using both netherite ingot and upgrade templates[upcoming: JE 1.20]. It can also trim armours using Smithing Templates and trimming materials[upcoming: JE 1.20]. Both process keep 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
The GUI for the smithing table.
[until Lua error in Module:Version_link at line 112: attempt to concatenate local 'text' (a nil value).]
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.
Diamond gear +
Netherite Ingot
[until JE 1.20]
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.
Armour Trimming[upcoming: JE 1.20]
The smithing table can also used to trim armour. It requires an armour, a smithing template and the following seven materials. However, you can’t use the same material as your armour.
- Iron
- Copper
- Gold
- Lapis
- Emerald
- Diamond
- Netherite
- Redstone
- Amethyst
- Quartz
After trimming, the armour will have the pattern according to the smithing templates. The color of the pattern is determined by the materials color.
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.

Trivia

- Smithing tables are the only crafting station in the game that can craft only one specific type of item.
