Smithing: Iron Path
Smithing: Iron Path lets players upgrade iron tools, weapons and armor into diamond-equivalent pieces at a smithing station, following the same route netherite uses.
What it does
An armorer villager at rank 5 sells the new Diamond Upgrade Template for 5 emeralds, and it can be duplicated like a normal netherite template. Iron boots are replaced with whichever iron tool, weapon or armor a player wants to upgrade. Smithing: Iron Path is for Forge 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Diamond upgrade template
A new smithing template carries iron gear through the same upgrade step netherite uses, starting from diamond equipment.
Armorer villager trade
An armorer apprentice at rank 5 sells the template for 5 emeralds, so the upgrade needs no loot.
Chosen iron piece
Iron boots are swapped for whichever iron tool, weapon or armor the player wants to upgrade.
