No Template Netherite Tool Upgrades Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I still need to find netherite upgrade templates?
No. This mod removes the requirement for netherite upgrade templates entirely. You can upgrade diamond tools to netherite using only a diamond tool and a netherite ingot on a smithing table.
How do I upgrade my first diamond tool to netherite?
Place your diamond tool and a netherite ingot on a smithing table. The smithing table will combine them into a netherite tool without requiring an upgrade template.
Can I upgrade multiple tools at once?
You can upgrade tools one at a time using the smithing table, but each upgrade requires a separate netherite ingot and a separate crafting action.
Will my enchantments disappear when I upgrade to netherite?
No. The smithing table preserves all enchantments from your diamond tool when upgrading to netherite, just like the vanilla upgrade process.
What tools can be upgraded with this mod?
Any diamond tool that can normally be upgraded to netherite on a smithing table can be upgraded with this mod—pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, and swords.
Do I need netherite ingots for anything else now?
Yes. You still need netherite ingots for crafting netherite blocks and other netherite items; this mod only changes the tool upgrade process.
Does this mod work with other mods that add tools?
This mod only affects diamond-to-netherite upgrades through the smithing table. Compatibility with other mods depends on how they implement their own tools and crafting systems.
Can I still craft netherite tools the old way if I want to?
This mod removes the template requirement, so the traditional crafting recipe is no longer available. You must use the smithing table to upgrade diamond tools.
What if I find an upgrade template in a chest?
Upgrade templates found in the world are no longer needed for this mod's functionality, though you can still keep them or use them in other mods if installed.
Is there a performance impact from using this mod?
No. This mod makes the upgrade process simpler by removing a crafting requirement, which should have no negative performance impact on your game.
