How to Use Smithing Templates in Minecraft
Considering the two types of Smithing Templates, there are two main methods of using them:
- Netherite: You can use the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template by combining it with a diamond gear and a Netherite ingot in the Smithing Table.
- Armor Customization: You can combine the Armor Trim Smithing Templates with a piece of your armor and a colored material to customize your armor.
The latter is a bit complicated, so we have created a guide that covers how to customize armor in Minecraft. You can refer to the same to learn everything you need to know about armor trims.
Just like that, you’re now ready to make copies of Smithing Templates in Minecraft. But, make sure you know all about the ore distribution of Minecraft to easily find all the diamonds you need for the purpose. With that said, which is your favorite Smithing Template? Tell us in the comments below!
No, in versions after the 1.20 update, you cannot make netherite gear without the netherite upgrade smithing template.
Armor trims provide a cool look for your in-game character and that’s pretty much it. They don’t grant any abilities or powers.
