How to Craft Netherite Upgrade Template in Minecraft
The Netherite Upgrade Template is used at a smithing table to upgrade diamond equipment to netherite. It can be duplicated with diamonds and netherrack.
Overview
The Netherite Upgrade Template is used at a smithing table to upgrade diamond equipment to netherite. It can be duplicated with diamonds and netherrack. Netherite Upgrade Template uses a shaped recipe, meaning the ingredients must sit in the exact pattern shown in the grid above; placing them in the wrong cells will not produce the item. A Crafting Table gives you the full 3x3 grid, which you need for any recipe larger than 2x2. You can craft one from four planks, and most bases keep one near the furnaces.
The recipe was added in Minecraft 1.20 and still works the same way in version 1.21. Each craft yields 2 Netherite Upgrade Template, so factor that multiplier in when you are batching the recipe for a project.
The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with diamond (mine diamond ore), netherite upgrade template (found in bastion remnants), and netherrack (mine in the Nether). If any of those are not already in your stores, gather them first, because the craft itself takes only a moment once everything is in the grid. With the ingredients on hand and a Crafting Table placed, Netherite Upgrade Template is one of the quicker things to add to your inventory.

Netherite Upgrade Templatex2Materials Needed
To make Netherite Upgrade Template you will gather 7x Diamond (mine diamond ore), Netherite Upgrade Template (found in bastion remnants), and Netherrack (mine in the Nether). Lining these up before you open the Crafting Table saves a trip back to storage, especially if you plan to craft several at once.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Open your Crafting Table to access the 3x3 crafting grid.
- Arrange the ingredients in the crafting grid following the pattern shown above.
- Place Diamond in: row 1, column 1; row 1, column 3; row 2, column 1; row 2, column 3; row 3, column 1; row 3, column 2; row 3, column 3.
- Place Netherite Upgrade Template in: row 1, column 2.
- Place Netherrack in: row 2, column 2.
- Collect your Netherite Upgrade Template (x2) from the output slot.
Tips & Notes
- If the output slot stays empty, double-check the pattern against the grid above; a shaped recipe fails silently when even one ingredient is in the wrong cell.
- Since one craft produces 2 Netherite Upgrade Template, divide the quantity you need by 2 to work out how many times to repeat the recipe.

How Netherite Upgrade Template Fits Your World
Building blocks are the backbone of construction, and the variant you choose changes both the look and the behaviour of a build. Stairs and slabs let you shape rooflines and half-steps, glass and stained glass let light through, and decorative stone and concrete give you a consistent palette for large projects. Many of these blocks are also craftable in bulk, which matters when a single build can swallow thousands of them. For Netherite Upgrade Template specifically, that means it is most valuable for duplicating the netherite upgrade template and required for upgrading diamond to netherite.
