A smithing table is a utility block used to alter tools and armor at the cost of a smithing template and the appropriate material, a process that keeps all enchantments. This is the only way to obtain trimmed armor or upgrade diamond equipment with netherite. It also serves as a toolsmith's job site block.

Obtaining[]

Smithing tables can be obtained from a village or crafting.

Natural generation[]

Smithing tables can spawn naturally inside toolsmith houses in villages. They can also spawn in trail ruins.

Breaking[]

Smithing tables can be broken using any tool or by hand, but an axe is fastest.

Block	Smithing Table
Hardness	2.5
Tool
Breaking time[A]
Default	3.75
Wooden	1.9
Stone	0.95
Iron	0.65
Diamond	0.5
Netherite	0.45
Golden	0.35

1. ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

Crafting[]

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Iron Ingot +Any Planks

Usage[]

Upgrading diamond gear to netherite gear[]

While upgrading, the newly crafted netherite gear retains the enchantments, prior work penalty and number of durability points lost (instead of the remaining durability) from the diamond gear.

Upgrading gear does not remove incompatible enchantments, such as multiple different Protection enchantments.

Unlike anvils, using a smithing table to upgrade diamond gear to netherite gear costs no experience and does not increase the prior work penalty.

Smithing table recipes use the data pack system.

Ingredients	Smithing recipe
Netherite Upgrade +Any diamond gear +Netherite Ingot	Upgrade Gear

Changing profession[]

If a village contains a smithing table that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager who hasn't already chosen a job site block has a chance to change their profession to toolsmith. If a villager with this profession has already been traded with, it cannot change jobs.

Armor trimming[]

Trimming requires an armor piece, a smithing template and the mineral/crystal for the color the player desires (listed below).

• Amethyst Shard
• Copper Ingot
• Diamond
• Emerald
• Gold Ingot
• Iron Ingot
• Lapis Lazuli
• Nether Quartz
• Netherite Ingot
• Redstone Dust
• Resin Brick

After trimming, the armor will have the pattern according to the smithing templates. The color of the pattern is determined by the materials color.

Fuel[]

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

Note Blocks[]

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