How to Recycle Smithing Templates into Diamonds

What Templates Can Be Recycled

Smithing templates—such as those used for netherite upgrades, armor trims, and other customizations—are recyclable through this data pack. Excess or duplicate templates are perfect candidates for conversion back into diamonds.

The Recycling Process

Gather four smithing templates. Open your crafting table and arrange them according to the Diamond Recycling recipe pattern. The recipe will output a single diamond when completed correctly.

Managing Template Overflow

Templates accumulate quickly when exploring loot structures. Rather than letting them clutter your storage, recycle duplicates you won't use. This is especially helpful if you've already applied the template effects you wanted and have extras taking up space. Four templates equals one diamond—a fair trade for clearing inventory space.
