No Netherite Upgrade? Not today
No Netherite Upgrade? Not today keeps diamond tools and armour in place of the netherite upgrade, using a datapack and the smithing template.
What it does
Diamond tools and armour are converted into netherite equivalents through a datapack, so the smithing upgrade item is not needed to reach the netherite tier. The smithing template still exists and can be used as usual. Players who want a recipe overview can open the recipe gallery that the mod includes.
The mod is a server datapack that changes how netherite progression is reached. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, across 24 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.3. Snapshot builds are published as well. The server needs it, while players may add it; joining without it is possible. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

How it compares
No Template Netherite Armor Upgrades [PurpurPack] is open source under the MIT License, covers 1.20 – 26.2 and needs the server, while a client may leave it out. No Netherite Armour also needs the server with an optional client and uses the MIT License, but it is not open source and targets 1.21.2 – 26.3. EasyUpgradeNetherite is the one option that requires both client and server, and it is released under All rights reserved for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2.
