How to Find and Duplicate Tool Trim Templates

Before you can customize your gear, you need to acquire the four specialized smithing templates added by the pack: Linear, Tracks, Charge, and Frost.

Finding Templates in Survival

You cannot craft a brand-new template from scratch. Instead, you must explore specific vanilla structures and loot their chests to find your first copies. Check the following locations while exploring:

  • Trail Ruins
  • Pillager Outposts
  • Ancient Cities
  • Igloos

Once you obtain at least one template, you can complete the two custom advancements—Shiny Tools and Tools of All Styles—by collecting the remaining patterns and applying them to your equipment.

Duplicating Your Templates

Applying a trim consumes the smithing template in the process. To avoid hunting down a new structure every time you want to decorate a tool, always duplicate your templates before using them.

1. Gather your chosen tool trim smithing template and plenty of diamonds.

2. Open a standard Crafting Table (or use the custom Toolsmithing Table if your pack setup includes it).

3. Place the original template in the crafting grid along with diamonds and the required base block to craft two copies from one original.

4. Store the spare copy safely in a chest so you never run out of that pattern.
