If you've purchased a world template from the Minecraft Marketplace that is set to a version of Minecraft that is anything before 1.19 you cannot create Netherite Gear.
Steps to Reproduce:
Maps Tested:
Skyblock by Nitric Concepts. Version: 1.16
Advanced Weapons RGB by 4KS Studios Version: 1.18
Hacker Labs by Waypoint Studios Version: 1.17
1. Load any World Template that is not in version 1.19 (see examples above)
2. Acquire materials to upgrade a diamond item to netherite
a. I switched to creative, acquired a smithing table, a diamond sword, and a netherite ingot
3. Try to use a Smithing Table to upgrade gear to Netherite
Observed Results:
The Smithing Table does not recognize the proper recipes as valid and you cannot create Netherite Gear
Expected Results:
I should be able to use diamond gear + a netherite ingot in a smithing table to create netherite gear.

[media]Notes:
Affects any .mctemplate with a world version pre 1.19 ... turning a .mctemplate into a .mcworld will resolve the issue as it will load in the client version.
Update:
Content on the Marketplace is version locked. Always has been. However, that doesn't mean my survival spawn I purchased that has no BP/RP modifications to the game AND does have netherite gear in it should not be craftable.
Content by Minecraft/Mojang is more adventure-based maps so that isn't a fair test as I am not playing survival in those maps (also those maps are still made by other partners anyway).
I have attached more screenshots to display what I mean here.
I guess the real issue is not necessarily just Marketplace Maps (although that's the real use case for what's affected) But ANY map created with a .mctemplate version set to anything before 1.19 does not work as it should. Versions with Netherite Gear cannot make Netherite Gear.
Does this issue affect any Marketplace content created by Minecraft/Mojang?
Issues with content from other creators should be taken up with the creator. In this case, they may have intentionally or unintentionally version-locked their content. We do not have an independent way of checking whether that is the case.
