About the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template

The Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template is the item that lets you turn diamond gear into netherite gear. You use it at a smithing table with a diamond tool or armour piece and a netherite ingot. The template is consumed in the process, but any enchantments on the diamond item carry over.

Netherite is a durable, knockback-resistant material that does not burn in lava, so this upgrade is usually the final step for endgame equipment.

How to get the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template

You cannot craft this template from scratch. Your first copy must come from a bastion remnant in the Nether, where it appears in treasure room chests. Bastions are full of angry piglins, so go prepared.

After you have one, you can duplicate it at a crafting table. Combine the template with seven diamonds and a block of netherrack to create two copies, which is far easier than raiding another bastion.
