How to make Smithing Templates in Minecraft
You’ll need plenty of Diamonds to craft more Smithing Templates.
Interestingly, you can actually craft Smithing Templates in Minecraft, but you’ll need to have already found one before you can make more. This will allow you to place the same Smithing Template on all of your armor, even if you only find one.
To craft Smithing Templates you’ll need seven diamonds, one Smithing Template, and one corresponding block. Then simply follow these steps:
- Locate your chosen Smithing Template.
- Head to a crafting table.
- Place the seven diamonds in the left, right, and bottom three slots (as seen in the image above).
- Put your Smithing Template in the top middle slot.
- Place the corresponding block in the middle slot.
- Craft!
With that, you’ll have made two Smithing Templates out of one. Simply repeat this as many times as you need.

How to use Smithing Templates on Armor in Minecraft
You can choose what color you want your armor to be.
Once you have your chosen Smithing Template you’ll need to apply it to Armor. Thankfully, it’s much easier to do than crafting such a template. All you’ll need is a certain ingot or mining material and the new fancy armor will be yours.
- Craft a Smithing Table.
- Place the template in the left slot in the table.
- Place your armor in the middle slot.
- Add your chosen material to the right slot.
- Collect your new armor.
There are tons of ingots you can use with each corresponding to a certain color for your armor. We recommend trying out different materials and seeing what you like – but it’s never a bad idea to try mixing your armor with a little green from the Emerald, blue from Lapis, or red from Redstone Dust.
