Throwing Disc Crafting
Quick answer
- Four tiers are crafted: copper, iron, gold, diamond — at a crafting table.
- Netherite is smithed: diamond disc + netherite ingot + netherite upgrade template.
- Material count: not announced. Bring a stack; the safe assumption is a small grid pattern.
The crafting recipe
Mojang's post confirms you craft the disc with an ingot or diamond, and the Minecraft Wiki lists the ingredient as a single ingot type per recipe. The exact arrangement inside the grid has not been published, so the pattern below is a placeholder:
Ingredients (confirmed):
- Copper ingot or
- Iron ingot or
- Gold ingot or
- Diamond
One ingredient type per recipe — not a mix.
What this placeholder means
We could draw a convincing-looking 3×3 with two ingots in it. It would be a guess, and it would be wrong the moment the snapshot lands. Instead this page ships the grid structure and fills it when Mojang publishes or a snapshot leaks it — with the snapshot number attached.
The netherite upgrade
Netherite discs follow the same path as every other netherite tool in the game:
| Step | What you need | Station |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A diamond throwing disc | Crafting table |
| 2 | + Netherite upgrade smithing template | Smithing table |
| 3 | + Netherite ingot |
The diamond disc is consumed in the upgrade. Whether durability carries over is unannounced.
Upgrade planner
Tell it what you have. It tells you how many netherite discs you can actually make, and what is missing for the next one. It does not assume any material count except the one Mojang confirmed: 1 diamond disc + 1 netherite ingot + 1 template = 1 netherite disc.
Crafting checklist for update day
| Item | Why | How much |
|---|---|---|
| Stack of iron | Cheapest disc to test the mechanic | 64 |
| 1 diamond | If iron feels good, upgrade path starts here | 1+ |
| Netherite ingot | Only for the endgame tier | 1 per disc |
| Upgrade template | Required by the smithing table | 1 per disc |
| Crafting table | Obviously | 1 |
