Smithing templates are items used in smithing tables to alter tools or armor, a process that keeps all enchantments. Smithing templates are consumed when used, but can be duplicated using an existing smithing template, its material, and diamonds.

The sixteen armor trim smithing templates are found in a variety of structures, and are used in conjunction with ingots and crystals to apply decorative trims to armor.

Netherite upgrade smithing templates are found only in bastion remnants (guaranteed in treasure bastions), and are required to upgrade diamond tools and armor with netherite.

Obtaining

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

Smithing ingredient

Smithing templates are used at a smithing table. Netherite upgrade smithing templates are used to upgrade diamond gear into netherite gear by using a netherite upgrade, a piece of diamond gear, and a netherite ingot.

Iron Armor with Iron Shaper TrimGolden Armor with Golden Shaper TrimDiamond Armor with Diamond Shaper TrimNetherite Armor with Netherite Shaper Trim
If the armor material and the trimming material are the same, the color palette used for the armor trim is darker.

Armor trim smithing templates are used to customize an armor piece's appearance by using a smithing template, an armor piece, and an ingot or crystal (emerald, redstone dust, lapis lazuli, amethyst shard, nether quartz, netherite ingot, diamond, gold ingot, iron ingot, or copper ingot). Including all dyed leather armor colors and regular armor there are 698,347,532,032,232,100,325,479,748,730,880,000[verify] (almost 700 decillion) different combinations of trimmed armor that can be worn.

All of the trims are purely decorative, and don't impact gameplay or strength of the armor it is applied to whatsoever. Piglins do not pick up any gold-trimmed armor pieces, and they are not pacified by players wearing even a full set of gold-trimmed armor (unless of course, the armor pieces in question are themselves golden), and netherite-trimmed armor pieces can stil be burned by fire.

  • 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]
    • The eye armor trim resembles an eye of ender. There are also two eyes on the head part of the armor trim that resemble those of an enderman.
    • The rib armor trim resembles a wither skeleton.
    • The snout armor trim resembles a piglin[1].
    • The spire armor trim resembles a shulker.
    • The tide armor trim resembles prismarine bricks.
    • The vex armor trim resembles an evoker. As an item in the inventory, it resembles the wing or the vein texture of a vex.
    • The ward armor trim, as an item in the inventory, resembles the faces inside a warden's chest.
    • The coast armour trim appears to have barnacles attached onto it.
    • The silence armour trim appears to have sculk creeping / infecting onto it.

  • Smithing template was named as "Smithing Blueprint" in the prototype but was changed because the word "blueprint" sounded modern and technical.[2]
