Minecraft: Smithing Table, All Details

In Minecraft, a smithing table serves two purposes: it upgrades gear from diamond to netherite and it serves as a worksite block for the toolsmith.

Toolsmiths come particularly handy because they can turn mined materials into emeralds and supply enchanted diamond axes, pickaxes, and shovels. The smithing table is required in order to upgrade a tool to netherite, the highest tier in the game.

  • Smithing enhances the customization and comfort of your Minecraft game. Similar to the Anvil, it’s how you get better gear for mining resources and fighting hostile creatures.
  • If you put a Smithing Table next to a Villager, they will become a Toolsmith.

Recipe

In order for you to use a Smithing Table, you must first own a Crafting Table, Iron Ingots, and Wood Planks.

  • You’ll need a CRAFTING TABLE before you can create a Minecraft smithing table.
    • It’s made by placing four wood planks in the empty slots of your crafting menu.
    • You can make wood planks from woodblocks using the crafting menu.
      • 4 planks =  1 woodblock.
  • There are a lot of good places to get IRON INGOTS.
    • One specific way is to grab it from mobs. If the mobs are wearing or bringing iron armor, you can beat them to obtain the material.
    • Iron ingots can also be created by melting iron ore in a furnace. Iron ore is typically discovered four to ten blocks underground.
  • Craft four WOOD PLANKS.

How to Craft

  • Open CRAFTING TABLE.
  • Put one Iron Ingot each on the top-left and top-mid of the crafting grid.
  • Afterward, put four of the planks below the Ingots.

How to Use

  • Upgrade Diamonds to Netherites.
    • Mine for ancient rubble, a brown cube ore with white veins, in the Netherworld.
    • Use only a diamond or netherite pickaxe.
  • On the crafting table, place four Netherite scraps and four gold ingots. (no specific order needed)
    • 4 Netherite Scraps + 4 Gold Ingots = 1 Netherite Ingot
