Smithing guide

The smithing table, end to end

The smithing table does two jobs: it turns diamond gear into netherite, and it stamps decorative trims onto armor. Both use the same three slots — a template, the item you're changing, and a material.

Every recipe on this page comes straight from the game data, so the combinations stay accurate — only the write-up around them is ours.

How the smithing table works

  1. Open a smithing table to reveal three input slots and one output slot.
  2. Slot one takes the template — it decides what the table does. A netherite upgrade template upgrades gear; any of the 18 trim templates applies that pattern instead.
  3. Slot two takes the item you're changing: a diamond tool, weapon, or armor piece.
  4. Slot three takes the material — Netherite Ingot for an upgrade, or one of 11 materials to pick a trim colour.
  5. Drag the finished item out of the output slot. Upgrades keep the original item's enchantments and damage.

Netherite upgrades (9)

Each upgrade needs the same three ingredients: a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template, the diamond version of the item, and one Netherite Ingot. There is no way to craft netherite gear directly — upgrading is the only route.

Armor trim patterns (18)

A trim changes how armor looks and nothing else — no stats, no durability. Each pattern has its own template item, and the material you pair it with sets the colour. Every template can be duplicated at a crafting table, so one find lasts forever.

Trim materials (11)

Any of these can go in the material slot alongside a trim template. The pattern stays the same — the material only changes the colour it's drawn in.
