How to Upgrade Your Diamond Gear to Netherite Using Smithing Templates

Netherite is the strongest and most durable material in Minecraft. It can resist lava, fire, and explosions, and it gives you more damage and speed than diamond. If you want to upgrade your diamond gear to netherite, you will need a special item called a netherite upgrade smithing template. This item is rare and can only be found in bastion remnants, the huge structures made of blackstone that are home to piglins and piglin brutes in the Nether. In this article, we will show you how to find, craft, and use netherite upgrade smithing templates to make your gear even better.

How to Find Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates

Netherite upgrade smithing templates are found in chests inside bastion remnants. There are four types of bastion remnants: bridge, hoglin stables, housing units, and treasure room. Each type has a different layout, look, and danger level. You can find chests in all of them, but the best place to look for netherite upgrade smithing templates is the treasure room bastion.

(bridge)

(hoglin stables)

(housing units)

(treasure room)

The treasure room bastion has a large platform at the bottom that is surrounded by lava. This platform is usually covered with gold blocks and one or more chests. Every chest on this platform is guaranteed to have a netherite upgrade smithing template. Other chests in the treasure room bastion have a 10% chance of having one. The same chance applies to chests in other types of bastion remnants.

However, finding and looting these chests is not easy. Bastion remnants are guarded by piglins and piglin brutes, who will attack you on sight unless you wear at least one piece of gold armor. Piglin brutes are especially dangerous, as they wield golden axes that deal a lot of damage and they cannot be distracted by gold or bartering. You will also have to deal with other hazards in the Nether, such as lava, magma cubes, ghasts, and hoglins.

Therefore, you should be well-prepared before venturing into a bastion remnant. Here are some tips to help you survive and get the netherite upgrade smithing templates:

1. Wear at least one piece of gold armor to avoid angering piglins.
2. Bring a shield to block attacks from piglin brutes and ghasts.
3. Bring a bow or a crossbow with arrows or fireworks to deal with ranged enemies.
4. Bring potions of fire resistance to protect yourself from lava and fire.
5. Bring food and healing items to restore your health and hunger.
6. Bring blocks to build bridges or walls if needed.
7. Bring a bed or a respawn anchor to set your spawn point near the bastion remnant.
8. Be careful not to open or break any chests or gold blocks in front of piglins, as they will become hostile.
9. Be stealthy and avoid unnecessary fights if possible.

How to Craft Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates

If you manage to find one netherite upgrade smithing template, you can use it to craft more using diamonds and netherrack. You will need seven diamonds and one netherrack for each template you want to make. To craft them, place the netherrack in the center of the crafting grid, then place the diamonds around it in a plus shape. Place the netherite upgrade smithing template above the netherrack. You will get two netherite upgrade smithing templates as a result.

You can also use other blocks instead of netherrack, such as cobblestone, sandstone, end stone, terracotta, cobbled deepslate, blackstone, purpur, prismarine, mossy cobblestone. However, netherrack is the easiest to obtain in the Nether.

Conclusion

Netherite upgrade smithing templates are rare and valuable items that allow you to upgrade your diamond gear to netherite, the best material in Minecraft. You can find them in bastion remnants, craft them with diamonds and netherrack, and use them with netherite ingots and a smithing table. By doing so, you will make your gear stronger, faster, more durable, and more resistant to lava and fire. You will also make your gear look more awesome and impressive.
