How many smithing templates are in Minecraft 1.20 Trails and Tales update

Mojang will be adding a bunch of new features, blocks, and items to the Minecraft 1.20 Trails and Tales update. One of these features includes brand new items called smithing templates. The smithing table and its usage are getting a complete overhaul with these new items.

As of now, the smithing table is only used to upgrade diamond gear to netherite. However, it will be able to customize armor designs as well. Moreover, the netherite upgrade process has also slightly changed due to a particular new smithing template.

There will be loads of them scattered all around the Minecraft 1.20 Trails and Tales update world; hence, players must know how many of them there are and where they will be found.
