Changes The Smithing Table Needs

We've been seeing a good flow of new nether features lately, including new smithing table functionality! But is this the right way to do it, is there a better way and what other improvements could be made with the new features?

crafting the invisible frames doesn't have to be that weird. you can just use phantom mambranes instead of leather

Makes sense since Phanthom membrane and leather were both used to repair the Elytra. So we can imagine that phantom membrane is "leathery". Nice suggestion.

The mod Quark has Invisible item frames, but they're much simpler than invisibility potions: you combine an item frame with a glass pane, and you get a glass item frame. When you place it, it looks a bit like a glass pane on the wall, but once you put an item in it, only the item is visible. Also the items inside it render slightly larger than in normal item frames. Fantastic mod.

[@notagenestealer]

I have another suggestion for the crying obsidian portal. The idea is that the crying portal is unstable. Depending on the nether biome your unstable portal is in, the nether will leak out onto the overworld. This is kinda like the crimson/corruption in Terraria. In the soul sand valley, grass and dirt blocks randomly turn into soul sand or soul soil, and trees turn to basalt. Sand blocks become soul soil and cacti are broken. For crimson, leaves become nether wart or shroomlight, wood becomes crimson stem, plants become crimson fungi, and sand becomes netherrack as well as dirt which becomes netherrack. For warped, leaves become warped wart or shroomlight, wood becomes warped stem, plants become warped fungi, and sand becomes netherrack as well as dirt which becomes netherrack. These biomes spread into the overworld. If nether blocks are placed in the overworld, it does not spread. Nether mobs do spawn, and blocks placed by the player do not change. It could be useful for a zoo build, or for mob farms.

[@CaspianT]

As someone who really, really, really loves all things metalworking, I was hoping that the smithing table would have more functionality, like for example: It could be an "arms and armour customization station", where you could customize tools, weapons, and armour to your liking, much like from a mod called "Tetra" (fantastic mod, here's a link: www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/tetra ). Or it could be a crafting station for all metal equipment. It just seems wasteful to add a block called a "Smithing Table" and make it only craft one tier of equipment.

[@0bread286]

They will probably add new tiers of gear. The netherite has the boost of not burning in lava, and less knockback, maybe enderite could have the function of teleporting you back to land if you fall into the void.

That is true; I made a mistake in my comment and my thinking. I misunderstood Mojang's intent for the Smithing table. However, it's great that Mojang is adding more materials, but the Anvil seems better suited for upgrading equipment to those materials, although anvils are already quite powerful.

[@absolutepotato9557]

The idea of an emerald pickaxe made me think more about using the smithing table for upgrading diamond. Just like how you can use a netherite ingot to upgrade diamond, you should be able to upgrade diamond with other materials. When you do this, the tool/armor gets a special benefit based on what you add to it. Emerald could mean that you get more experience drops from the things that you kill/mine, Gold could increase drop rates for rare items, etc. It means that you actually have to make choices and can't just make one god tool of the top tier.

[@Cloneman-ic9rx]

That sounds like enchantments with extra steps

[@jbritain]

Gold should make it faster like it does normally

[@FlatlandsSurvivor]

maybe as an alternative to enchanting, you can place it in with certain items to enchant the item at a base level. Smith with a piston to get a knockback level. Smith with an empty glass bottle for respiration, a cobweb (spider silk) for silk touch etc. You can only add enchantments this way to an unenchanted item, but then they can be combined in an anvil to get better gear. Perhaps an (undamaged) shield to get a level of protection.

I think that "invisible item frames" should be implemented differently. It just does not feel "vanilla" combining item frames with potions, it does not fit into the vanilla game. In my opinion, a better solution would be (maybe?) combining any item with an iron nugget, making it an item that can be "nailed" to a block face. This would not leave any empty, invisible frames. Breaking the nailed item would just drop the item (and the nugget).

Often times to suggestions that actually do have more than their fair share of reasons as to why not The blue lava, for example - You compared it to different water colors but the water doesn't turn into different colors, just different shades of blue. The hoe idea of it breaking down all leaves at once - Nothing else in the game works like that, the scaffolding breaks down all at once but not because you used a specific tool

[@INCAnitysy]

It could be an enchantment.

[@kaanuysal579]

But still I think those 2 suggestions are pretty good, especially lava turning blue on soulsand valley. They can make it if they want.

[@hindigente]

Fire turns blue because it is hotter, but lava remains bright orange/red at the same temperature (and it doesn't change temperature because it's a solid-liquid transition).

To craft an invisible item frame you could take the bedrock feature of having potions in cauldrons and then drip a regular item frame into the caludren to make it invisible (maybe this could also be how to make potion tipped arrows)

Personally my idea for the smithing table is that it works as a way to upgrade diamond gear into special use items. For example, netherite is great for durability and for protection but there could be other equally rare ores in the overworld or the end that give you abilities such as increased mining speed, faster movement higher reach etc.. basically have a branching upgrade tree post-diamond of specialist tools and armour made through the smithing table with these rare ores

[@torickjdavis]

I think the smithing table should have a 3x3 grid, alike the crafting table. This leads to it being used as a way to create more intricate recipes for "upgrading" items. The use of precious materials, like emerald, lapis, and netherite could be core components to these new recipes.

[@lamegamertime]

Perhaps if you create a small portal out of crying obsidian and some End-related blocks, it brings you to an "End Room." The End Room is a fairly small room (possibly only a single chunk) that only you can get to. If someone else tries to go through the same portal, they'll end up in their own End Room. Kind of like an ender chest, but as a room. -When you're done interacting with the room, you leave through the portal at the top of the room (and be sure to break the overworld portal so you can take it with you). -When something leaves the room, it gets launched upward and forward in the direction it is facing so it can clear the edge of the portal. -Portals can only be one size, which is 4x4 (a 2x2 hole in the center). Otherwise, you would get stuck in the room because the portal was too big. -The End Room will keep whatever you left in it, even mobs if you create them inside the room. -Mobs outside the room can't enter through the portal, because how can you tell which person's room they go in? Are they tagged by being pushed? Do they have their own room, and disappear forever? So mobs cannot enter the portal. However, if you create a mob inside the room, it can exit through the portal. (Maybe it's also bound to that End Room, and can re-enter the portal? Undecided.) -If someone breaks the portal while you're inside, you instantly leave the room. Otherwise it would allow players to harvest infinite End Room portals, because there would need to be a new portal if you were to leave. It would also allow players to hide in the End Room if they could stay permanently. If they're gonna make the smithing table a sort of gear upgrader, it needs to be able to do more than just diamond to netherite. The simple one is to allow it to upgrade other tools: wood tools to stone to iron to diamond to netherite. I don't know where else it could go, though.

[@bcon58]

I think a cool way to implement the invisible item frame is to make a new item entirely called a tack. It could be crafted with a stick(or maybe a fence) and a cobblestone slab on top. This could be placed on any surface of a block and work fine. When no item is being hung up, the tack would stick out of the block making it obvious it's there, but it would disappear whenever you placed an item on it.

[@Dying_Yearn]

I think we should use the machanic of the barrier block where we can see the barreir block when we are holding the barrier block. So when we want to see the invisible item frame, we just have to hold a item frame. The way we should make item frames invisible should be the same way as we attach droppers to chests. Hopefully this is correct but you have to crouch left click the item or block. Though I haven't decided the way to undo the invisibility on the item frames. I was thinking the player has to hold the item frame in their hand and do the attach hopper to the chest mechanic or they can simply just use their hand and do the same mechanic also.

[@MasterOfPeeing]

1:28 Just make them how quark does them. They are made out of glass, and when an item is placed inside it becomes invisible, but when the item is taken out, it appears again.

[@thanosattorneyatlaw4062]

I think you should be able to make invisible item frames with phantom membranes and an item frame. Cuz ya know, phantoms can be invisible, which makes sense if it's going to be translucent when no items are in it

[@aldri346]

dont worry none of his suggestions have ever ben implemented

[@Stray0]

good, had me worried for a sec that Mojang is gonna confuse stonecutters and smithing tables

[@SpecterMinecraft]

one of the rules in Minecrafts design is that tools should never be able to break multiple blocks at a time as it just moves away from the design of Minecraft, that's why you can't do that with any other tool, so adding that to a hoe will not make it overpowered and will also feel too modded

[@hyprlynk374]

My idea for the invisible item frame is adhesive tape, which you'd craft with a slimeball and a piece of paper. You can put it on a block and it shows up as a little white square and you can stick items onto it, covering up the tape.

[@PopLopChop]

I actually disagree with the last idea. The blue lava itself sounds really cool, but it would look too much like water. Mojang usually tries to avoid these accidental similarities, kinda like when they added ruby, but then decided to change it to emerald since it looked too much like redstone. Plus, how will this blue lava react with regular lava? Is it going to make a new block? New effect? And how would you implement the generation of blue lava so that it doesn’t intersect with regular lava? Interesting suggestion nonetheless.

[@michaelibrahim9275]

PopLopChop It will literally just be lava with a different texture like how water turns green in the swamp

[@debornmc]

1. It's not translucent 2. It's a different shade 3. It's a different texture 4. It's a different animation 5. It has different sounds Don't think you can be mistaken that quickly Also, he said it would work like water in the overworld, so I think the lava should turn blue when you enter and turn back orange when you leave the biome. Like how the fog in the different biomes changes colour

[@Stray0]

would be really cool if you could use the smithing table to "smith" a stone pickaxe by using a wooden pickaxe as a base (like diamond to netherite)

[@spanishSpaniard]

Two-three years later 23w04a. You can trim armor with the smithing table.

[@Lynixai]

I'd love it if they made the smithing table something you'd use to upgrade all types of armor. Right now I get that the path from No Armor -> Iron Armor -> Diamond Armor isn't a super long one, but you rarely ever see use of Leather, Gold, and to an extent Chainmail. What if you could upgrade the different armors for a reduced price at the smithing table. Say Leather chest upgrades to Iron (or chainmail) for 4 Iron instead of the usual 8 to make a new one, and it keeps the enchantments, making enchanting at levels below 30 a little more appealing. With the grindstone, even if you do upgrade all the way to Diamond, you won't be stuck with low level enchants, you can just disenchant and then put level 30 enchants on the diamond armor. Then maybe also have an "outfitting table" where you could do what you suggested, making cosmetic changes to armor and tools.

[@lyamedia3095]

You know how gold tools are faster? What about an upgrade to gold that would make it have more durability while having the same mining speed? Specialized tools and armor would be very cool and you can customize it all according to your play style. Live in the nether? Slap some netherite on your gear. Like mining in the caves? How about an upgrading that pickaxe to mine a lot faster. Living in the end? Boom, now you're elytra auto deploys incase you fall into the void. Etc Etc. Possibilities are endless really. (Oh and specialized armor for fighting bosses/certain mobs. Personally really hate skeletons)

[@thebiggest_lad5430]

I think a simple item frame & glass recipe would be fine, potions sound too expensive and hastle-ey.

[@Shadow-ol2db]

[@roe_bro]

Also I love the idea of going on hunts with the Piglins. It fits well as a counterpart to the raids; with the raids being a quest to defend in order to lower prices and get some items, the hunts would be an active quest to attack and get the same types of rewards. Only issue I would find is a way to start the quest. Raids have it easy as you're not the one initiating it, but to start a hunt it would be tough to do it without direct communication, cause dialogue would be super out of place in minecraft.
