No Smithing Template

No Smithing Template is a lightweight functional mod designed to streamline the smithing process in Minecraft 1.20+. The primary goal is to simplify equipment upgrades, restoring the more intuitive and cost-effective “classic” crafting experience.

By refactoring the underlying logic of the Smithing Table, this mod completely removes the mandatory requirement for Smithing Templates in all “Transformation” recipes.

Key Features
Streamlined Netherite Upgrades: Upgrading Diamond gear to Netherite no longer consumes the rare “Netherite Upgrade Template.” Simply combine your gear with a Netherite Ingot to proceed.

Broad Mod Compatibility: Utilizing dynamic matching technology, the mod supports not only vanilla recipes but also custom upgrade recipes from other mods (e.g., Enigmatic Legacy, Fantasy’s Ending, etc.).

Smart Recognition: As long as a recipe is categorized as a “Smithing Transform” type, the mod automatically identifies it and allows crafting even when the template slot is empty.

Empty Template Slot: You can leave the first slot (the template slot) empty; the Smithing Table will still correctly display and output the upgraded item.

Vanilla-Friendly: If you prefer to use your existing templates, the mod still supports traditional smithing using templates as usual.

Limitations
Armor Trims:

Note: This mod does not affect the Armor Trim system. Applying cosmetic trims still requires the corresponding trim templates. There are currently no plans to change this logic in future updates.
