*: There is no planned port being made. However, they should still work as long as NeoForge and Quilt support Forge and Fabric mods respectively.

About

Cheaper Smithing Templates is a Minecraft mod that makes it so that Smithing Templates are less Diamond intensive in their recipes. This is done by swapping the Diamonds with the Template material and vice versa. For example, the Wild Armor trim will now use 7 Mossy Cobblestone on the outside and a Diamond at the center.

This also tweaks a couple of the Templates by changing their material or adding materials wherever suitable in order to better match the Template look. This includes:

  • Rib Armor Trim: Uses Nether Bricks instead of Netherrack
  • Spire Armor Trim: Can use Purpur Pillars, a parity change from Bedrock Edition
  • Tide Armor Trim: Uses Prismarine Bricks instead of Prismarine

I made this because I wanted to make the Smithing Template recipes more accessible early on while also making them make more sense instead of just being one giant Diamond sink. Is this really the best way of doing this? No, but it feels nicer than having to mine a ton of Diamonds just to apply an Armor Trim.

In the future, I might consider balancing a couple of the recipes in order to make the rarer ones (mostly the Netherite Upgrade and the Silence Armor Trim) harder to craft

About

Sensible Smithing Templates is a Minecraft mod/data pack that makes Smithing Templates cost less Diamonds in their recipes. This is done by swapping the Diamonds with the material in each recipe, meaning it only costs one Diamond to duplicate a Template instead of 7. For example, the Wild Armor trim will now cost 7 Mossy Cobblestone and one Diamond to duplicate.

Some of the Template recipes have been tweaked as well in order to better match the Template's look or include parity changes that don't already exist. This includes:

  • Rib Armor Trim: Uses Nether Bricks (instead of Netherrack)
  • Spire Armor Trim: Can use Purpur Pillars (parity change from Bedrock Edition)
  • Tide Armor Trim: Uses Prismarine Bricks (instead of Prismarine)

I made this because I find the idea of a cosmetic item being super expensive to get more of for the sake of a Diamond sink to be quite ridiculous and counter-productive. Is this really the best way of doing this? No, but it feels nicer than having to mine a ton of Diamonds just to get more markings on my armor.

In the future, I might consider balancing a couple of the recipes in order to make the rarer ones (mostly the Netherite Upgrade and the Silence Armor Trim) harder to craft
