This guide will show you the procedure you need to take a new tool and make it able to upgrade into another tool using a smithing table that keeps the enchantments on them.
Steps:
-Create the tool you want to level up from or level up to, or both.
-Create item (this will work as a smithing template, like the diamond to netherite upgrade)
-Create crafting recipe and put it to smithing style.
-Create the smithing table procedure that allows you to craft an item into another one keeping the enchantments (https://imgur.com/a/GOOXHdD)
-Create procedure that calls the smithing table procedure (https://imgur.com/Fdh35js)
What I did:
-Create an obsidian pickaxe
-Create an item (obsidian smithing template)
-Create a smithing table recipe (obsidian smithing template + tool + netherite ingot)
-Create procedure (https://imgur.com/a/GOOXHdD)
-Create 2nd procedure (https://imgur.com/a/GOOXHdD)
Done.
I hope this is useful, I'm not really handy with Forums so feedback is appreciated. Also, I did this on Mcreator 2024.1 for Forge 1.20.4
