What it does

Upgrading Templates adds an Upgrading Template item, which is made from a Diamond and used as an input in the Smithing Table. Recipes are included for Iron and Golden tools and armor, so a player places the item with the piece to upgrade and the result appears in the output slot. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Builds cover Minecraft 1.20 – 1.20.6 on Fabric, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, released under the MIT License and not open source.
