Harry's Armor and Tools

Higher-tier armor and tools are acquired through new smithing templates, in a path similar to how vanilla Netherite is obtained. A new progression path begins with Copper, which has its own unique template, and runs through Iron, Aurium, Diamond and Netherite, five tiers in total. Each step is meant to slow the pace of progression so that a new set feels rewarding to obtain. Upgrading a tool or armor piece needs the smithing template for the next tier plus a material component of that tier.

The templates are found in vanilla structures: Iron upgrade templates appear in village houses and pillager outposts, Aurium templates in buried treasure and desert pyramids, and Diamond templates in woodland mansions and ancient cities. Crafting uses simple recipes, such as a diamond upgrade that takes diamonds and iron ingots, and Aurium is a new alloy of gold and iron that fits in the gap between diamond and copper.
