Create: Better Smithing Templates
Adds a way to make netherite upgrade smithing templates using create machines.
About this Mod
This mod is primarily made in order to be used in a multiplayer server with my friend. As such, you're free to use it yourself, but I can't guarantee I'll be constantly updating it to newer versions as soon as the game gets updates.
This lightweight mod adds a few items and recipes that allow you to craft Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates using create recipes, while not allowing it to be infinitely farmed.
The mod includes:
- Polished Diamond (obtained by sanding a Diamond)
- Netherrack Shard (obtained by stonecutting a piece of Netherrack)
- A Sequenced Assembly recipe involving both aforementioned items to make Smithing Templates
I'm well open to feedback, so let me know whether you think there's something I can do better (this is my very first mod).
All 3 new sprites have been made by me.
