Natural generation

Smithing tables can spawn naturally within toolsmith houses in villages. Smithing tables can also generate in trail ruins.

Crafting

Ingredients	Crafting recipe
Iron Ingot + Any Planks

Usage

Placement

Regardless of the player's position during placement, the different textures of the block are always facing in the same position (the textures with the hammers are facing west and east, while the dark grey side is always facing up).

Smithing

A smithing table is primarily used for upgrading diamond gear to netherite gear and for trimming armor. The smithing interface is accessed by pressing use on a smithing table.

To work at a smithing table, the player must provide a smithing template in the left-most slot, a tool or piece of armor in the central slot, and an augmenting material in the right-most slot. Applying a smithing template costs no experience, and preserves item data such as durability, enchantments, and custom names.

Upgrading to netherite requires a netherite upgrade smithing template, a diamond tool or a piece of diamond armor, and a netherite ingot.

Ingredients	Smithing recipe
Netherite Upgrade + Any Diamond Gear + Netherite Ingot

Decorative trims can be applied to any piece of armor, including turtle shells, by using an armor trim smithing template and a trim material. After trimming, the armor will show a decorative pattern corresponding to the smithing template with the color determined by the used material. A preview of this pattern can be seen on an armor stand model, located on the right side of smithing table's GUI.

Ingredients	Smithing recipe
Any Armor Trim + Any Armor Piece + Any trim material

Profession

If a smithing table has not been claimed by a villager, any nearby unemployed villager has a chance to change their profession to toolsmith and claim the smithing table as their job site block.

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.
