Issues

Issues relating to "Smithing Template" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • Some of the armor trims feature patterns based on a mob or block that is found in the same structure as the corresponding smithing template.[1]
  • Netherite upgrade smithing template (35 character with "_" and 32 character without "_") and sentry armor trim smithing template (35 character with "_" and 31 character without "_") are the current longest name for item ID, while polished blackstone pressure plate and cracked polished blackstone bricks only have 34 character with "_" and 31 character without "_".
