Netherite Plus: No Template
Netherite Plus: No Template removes the Smithing Template step from Netherite upgrades, so players can craft Netherite gear without first finding a template.
What it does
In vanilla, a Netherite upgrade needs a Smithing Template, which means searching for specific structures before progression continues. Netherite Plus: No Template drops that requirement, letting players craft Netherite armor and tools directly once they have the materials. Ancient Debris still has to be gathered and Netherite Scrap still has to be smelted, so the mining steps stay in place.
The mod is aimed at survival play, modpacks and servers where players want the Netherite stage without the structure hunt. Balance is kept close to vanilla: stats are unchanged and the mod only removes the template gate. It runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it.
Installation needs Fabric, Forge or NeoForge for 1.17.1 – 26.2. Netherite Plus: No Template is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, and its files target 16 release versions in that range. Its latest Fabric and NeoForge files are 1.0.2 for 26.2, and its latest Forge file is 0.0.2 for 1.20.1.
