No Template Netherite (Forge/NeoForge)

by NadienDev

No Template Netherite removes the Netherite Upgrade Template from the Smithing Table, so diamond gear can be upgraded with Netherite ingots alone.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20 – 26.1.2

What it does

The mod targets a change made in later Minecraft updates, where upgrading diamond armor and tools at a Smithing Table requires a Netherite Upgrade Template as an extra item. Removing that requirement restores the simpler upgrade step used in earlier versions, so only Netherite ingots and the diamond equipment are needed. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20 – 26.1.2, under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Template removed from upgrades

    The Smithing Table accepts diamond armor and tools with Netherite ingots, with no template item in the recipe.

  2. Shorter progression path

    Obtaining Netherite gear takes fewer steps, since the template no longer has to be crafted or found first.

  3. Earlier upgrade behavior

    The mechanic follows the simpler method from before the template was introduced, for players who prefer it.
