What it does

The mod ships as a data pack that adds one recipe for the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template, using materials that would otherwise go unused. Its author wrote it after the 1.20 change to smithing tables drew a mixed reaction, with some players welcoming it and others unhappy about how much harder Netherite gear had become to obtain. The data pack is meant to make the template available without a long search.

Key features

  1. Lower crafting cost

    A single recipe makes Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates from cheaper materials than the vanilla route.

  2. Greater availability

    Players can reach Netherite upgrades earlier, since the template no longer depends on rare drops or scarce resources.

  3. Uses unused materials

    The new recipe draws on materials that players would otherwise have little use for, adding a purpose to them.
