NoUpgradeNetherite
by Muiika
NoUpgradeNetherite removes the smithing template step from netherite tool and armor crafting, bringing back the older recipe.
What it does
Netherite items are crafted again with the one netherite ingot recipe used before the smithing template system, so players no longer need a template to upgrade gear. Installed on client and server together, the mod covers six release versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge builds.
Key features
Template-free crafting
Netherite tools and armor are made without a smithing template, matching the older mechanic used before version 1.20.
One netherite ingot
The upgrade recipe uses a single netherite ingot in place of the template and extra materials.
Printed recipe output
Upgraded netherite gear is produced directly from the recipe, without the separate template item being consumed.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
