Understand the Difference Between Old and New Netherite Crafting

Why This Mod Changes Your Workflow

Vanilla Minecraft requires a smithing table to upgrade diamond tools and armor to netherite. This mod reverts to older crafting mechanics where netherite items are crafted directly.

Old Method (This Mod)

• Craft netherite tools and armor at a regular crafting table
• Use the same recipes as iron or diamond items
• Ingredients: netherite ingots + sticks (for tools) or just ingots (for armor)
• Faster progression with fewer steps

Vanilla Method (Without Mod)

• Craft diamond tools/armor first
• Use a smithing table to upgrade them with netherite ingots
• Requires two separate processes
• Takes longer but preserves your diamond items

When to Use This Mod

Choose this mod if you prefer streamlined crafting and don't mind skipping the intermediate diamond step. It's ideal for players who want faster netherite access or prefer classic crafting mechanics.
