Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template
The Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template upgrades a Diamond-Tipped Electric Drill to the Netherite-Tipped tier at a smithing table and is never consumed.
Description
The Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template is found in bastion remnant chests in the Nether — the same four loot tables that hide the vanilla Netherite Upgrade template, with a 20 % chance per chest. The template never has to be found twice: on a Crafting Table, 7 diamonds and 1 netherrack arranged around one template craft two. Before the smithing step, build the Netherite Drill Head at a workbench from 3 netherite scrap, 2 Netherite Alloy Ingots and 1 Electrum Gear. The finished drill keeps its charge, enchantments and Silk Touch mode. Ala Industrial ships the Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template for Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition only, on both Fabric and NeoForge.

Guide
How to use the Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template
-
1
Loot a bastion remnant
Search the chests of a bastion remnant in the Nether; each chest holds the Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template with a 20 % chance.
-

Arrange 1 template, 1 netherrack and 7 diamonds on a Crafting Table following the recipe pattern to craft two Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Templates.
-
3
Craft the Netherite Drill Head
Combine 3 netherite scrap, 2 Netherite Alloy Ingots and 1 Electrum Gear at a workbench into one Netherite Drill Head.
-
4
Apply the upgrade at a smithing table
Put the template, the Diamond-Tipped Electric Drill and the Netherite Drill Head into the three slots of a Smithing Table and take the Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill.
-
5
Keep the template for later
The Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template is not consumed by the smithing craft; the spare copy serves another drill or another player.
The Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill inherits the EU charge, the enchantments and the Silk Touch mode of the drill that went in — a charged, enchanted drill can be upgraded as is.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template consumed when upgrading the drill?
No. The smithing-table craft leaves the Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template in its slot, exactly like the vanilla Netherite Upgrade template, so one template serves any number of drills.
How do I get the template without a bastion?
The template cannot be crafted from scratch. It only appears in bastion remnant chests in the Nether at a 20 % chance per chest; once you own one, 7 diamonds and 1 netherrack around it on a Crafting Table produce two.
What does the netherite upgrade change on the drill?
The Netherite-Tipped Electric Drill mines at speed 12.0 instead of 10.0, deals 7 damage instead of 6 and holds 15 000 EU instead of 10 000 — roughly 300 blocks per charge at 50 EU per block. The mining level stays diamond.
Which items does the template work with?
Only the Diamond-Tipped Electric Drill combined with a Netherite Drill Head. The base Electric Drill and other tools do not fit the smithing-table recipe.
Is the template part of vanilla Minecraft?
No. The Netherite Drill Upgrade Smithing Template is an item of the Ala Industrial mod for Minecraft 26.2 Java Edition, available on Fabric and NeoForge.
