Netherite Without Templates
Removes the need for an upgrade template to transform Diamond gear into Netherite at the Smithing Table, mimicking 1.19 behavior.
⬇ Download on CurseForge
If you wish that smithing Netherite gear didn't require an upgrade template like it did before 1.20, this datapack solves that issue. It provides the following benefits:
- Netherite smithing only requires the Diamond gear and a Netherite Ingot.
- Existing upgrades can be crafted into a single diamond.
- Check below the video for mod support.
The single data pack supports everything from 1.20 to 26.2.
Due to how empty arrays are handled, this data pack does NOT support NeoForge 1.20.4 or lower! You won't be able to upgrade your tools unless you disable this data pack. Please use Forge or Fabric for those game versions.
