Better Smithing Template

# Better Smithing Template Rewrites the smithing mechanism to give you a better smithing experience. ## What does this mod do? In vanilla Minecraft, smithing templates used in the smithing table are consumed in one use. This mod makes templates behave like tools — they can be reused multiple times and only disappear when worn out. ## Main Features - **Reusable templates**: Adds a durability system to templates. Default durability is 3; the template disappears once depleted. - **Auto-detection**: Automatically detects all smithing templates in the game, including those added by other mods. No manual configuration required. - **Flexible configuration**: If a template cannot be auto-detected, you can specify it manually via a list. ## Configuration The config file is located at `config/better_smithing_template.toml` in the game directory. You can edit it with any text editor. | Option | Default | Description | |------|--------|------| | `auto_detect_templates` | `true` | Auto-detect all smithing templates in the game. When disabled, you must specify them in the list below. | | `target_items` | built-in examples | List of templates to manually add durability to, one per line, in `mod_id:item_name` format. | | `max_damage` | `3` | Number of uses per smithing template. Set to `0` to disable the durability feature (restore vanilla behavior). Range 0-5. | ## Compatibility - Currently supports Minecraft 1.21.1 + NeoForge - Theoretically compatible with most mods that add new smithing templates - Does not modify vanilla recipes or affect other mods' functionality ## FAQ **Q: Can templates still stack in the inventory?** A: Yes. Identical templates can stack in the inventory. **Q: Can I set the number of uses higher?** A: Yes. If you need more uses, adjust the `max_damage` value in the config. **Q: How do I manually add a smithing template that wasn't auto-detected?** A: First, find the template's registry name, e.g. `cataclysm:ignitium_upgrade_smithing_template`. Then add it to the `target_items` list in the config file. ## License This project is licensed under the (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html) (GPL-3.0).
