Where to Find Smithing Templates in Minecraft

Players can get Smithing Templates by opening chests in various domains, picking them up from fallen Elder Guardians, and brushing Suspicious Sands. Each area includes a specific type of this material, producing a distinct color for your armor.

For an overview of all 17 Smithing Template locations, here’s a breakdown of where to find each one:

Unlike other items, the Tide Armor Trim can be obtained after you defeat an Elder Guardian at an Ocean Monument. The Shaper, Host, Raiser, and Wayfinder can also be found in Suspicious Sand through the new Archeology feature. But, keep in mind that not all areas will include the Smithing Templates in chests since they have a low spawn rate in Minecraft.

Players can duplicate this material with the Crafting Table using seven diamonds, one block of the template material, and one Smithing Template of their choice. If you aren’t sure which template material to use, you can associate it with its location. For example, you can utilize Netherrack for the Netherite Upgrade. You can also easily acquire the Armor Trim in Creative mode and find it under the Ingredients section.
