Minecraft:Smithing Table

Template:Infobox block A smithing table is a utility Minecraft:block used to apply Minecraft:smithing templates to Minecraft:tools, Minecraft:weapons, and Minecraft:armor. It also serves as a Minecraft:toolsmith's Minecraft:job site block.

Obtaining

Breaking

Smithing tables can be broken by hand, but using an Minecraft:axe is faster. Template:Breaking row Smithing tables drop themselves when destroyed.

Natural generation

Smithing tables can spawn naturally within toolsmith houses in Minecraft:villages. Smithing tables can also generate in Minecraft:trail ruins.

Usage

Placement

Regardless of the Minecraft:player's position during placement, the different textures of the block are always facing in the same position (the textures with the hammers are facing west and east, while the dark grey side is always facing up).

The GUI for the smithing table.

A smithing table is primarily used for upgrading Minecraft:diamond gear to netherite gear and for trimming armor. The smithing interface is accessed by pressing Template:Control on a smithing table.

To work at a smithing table, the player must provide a smithing template in the left-most slot, a Minecraft:tool or piece of Minecraft:armor in the central slot, and an augmenting material in the right-most slot. Applying a smithing template costs no Minecraft:experience, and preserves item data such as Minecraft:durability consumption, Minecraft:enchantments, and custom names.

Upgrading to netherite requires a Minecraft:netherite upgrade smithing template, a diamond tool or a piece of diamond armor, and a Minecraft:netherite ingot.

Decorative trims can be applied to any piece of armor, including Minecraft:turtle shells, by using an Minecraft:armor trim smithing template and a Minecraft:trim material. After trimming, the armor will show a decorative pattern corresponding to the smithing template with the color determined by the used material. A preview of this pattern can be seen on an Minecraft:armor stand model, located on the right side of smithing table's GUI.

Profession

Template:Main If a smithing table has not been claimed by a Minecraft:villager, any nearby unemployed villager has a chance to change their profession to Minecraft:toolsmith and claim the smithing table as their Minecraft:job site block.

Fuel

Smithing tables can be used as Minecraft:fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Note blocks

Smithing tables can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass" Minecraft:sounds.
