Farm Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates from Piglins

Why Farm Templates

Netherite upgrade smithing templates are essential for upgrading diamond gear to netherite. This data pack makes them obtainable through Piglin bartering, though at a low rate.

Setup Your Farm

Create a Piglin bartering farm in the Nether. You'll need:

• A spawning platform (dark enough for Piglins to spawn)
• Gold blocks or nuggets for trading
• A collection system (hopper setup or manual collection)
• Safety measures (walls, lighting to prevent mob interference)

Optimize Your Trades

Since templates have a 0.8% drop chance, you'll need to perform many trades. Collect large quantities of gold and prepare for extended farming sessions. Each Piglin trade requires one gold ingot or block. The low rate means this is a long-term investment rather than a quick resource run.

Efficiency Tips

• Use gold nuggets (9 per ingot) for more total trades
• Keep your farm loaded while AFK if possible
• Store completed templates safely—they're valuable
• Consider this a supplementary source alongside other netherite acquisition methods
