No Template Netherite Armor Upgrades Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I still need netherite upgrade templates with this mod?
No, this mod removes the requirement for Netherite Upgrade templates entirely. You can now upgrade diamond armor directly to netherite using only a diamond armor piece and a netherite ingot in a smithing table.
How do I upgrade my diamond armor to netherite now?
Place your diamond armor piece and a netherite ingot in a smithing table, just as you would in vanilla Minecraft, but without needing a Netherite Upgrade template. The smithing table will combine them into netherite armor.
Can I upgrade enchanted diamond armor to netherite with this mod?
Yes, enchantments on your diamond armor are preserved when you upgrade to netherite, just like in vanilla Minecraft. The smithing table will transfer all enchantments to the new netherite piece.
Does this mod work with other armor mods?
This mod only affects the vanilla diamond-to-netherite upgrade path and does not modify other mods' armor systems. Compatibility depends on whether other mods override smithing table recipes.
What if I want to keep using templates?
You can still use Netherite Upgrade templates if you find them—this mod simply makes them optional rather than required.
Do I need to craft anything new or use a special crafting station?
No, you use the standard smithing table that already exists in vanilla Minecraft. There are no new blocks or crafting recipes to learn.
Can I bulk upgrade multiple armor pieces at once?
You upgrade armor pieces one at a time in the smithing table, but since you no longer need to find or duplicate templates, the process is much faster overall.
Does this mod affect netherite tools or weapons?
This mod only changes the diamond armor to netherite upgrade recipe. Tools and weapons are not affected.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
This mod makes a simple recipe change and should have no noticeable impact on performance or server load.
What's the main difference between this mod and vanilla Minecraft?
In vanilla, upgrading diamond armor requires finding Netherite Upgrade templates in loot chests and duplicating them with diamonds. This mod removes that requirement entirely, letting you upgrade directly with just a netherite ingot.
