netherite

Netherite is a rare and valuable material found in the Nether dimension of the game Minecraft. It is the strongest and most durable material available in the game, offering superior performance over diamond.

Netherite can only be obtained by smelting Ancient Debris in a furnace. Ancient Debris is a block that generates exclusively in the Nether, typically at lower Y-levels. It is resistant to explosions, making it difficult to mine without protection. Once smelted, Ancient Debris yields Netherite Scrap.

Four Netherite Scraps can be combined with four gold ingots in a crafting table to create a single Netherite Ingot. This ingot is then used to upgrade existing diamond gear, such as armor, tools, and weapons, into their Netherite equivalents. Netherite items have increased durability, higher attack damage for weapons, and better mining speed for tools compared to their diamond counterparts.

A key property of Netherite is its fire resistance; Netherite items do not burn in lava or fire, unlike items made from other materials. This makes them invaluable for exploration and combat in the Nether. Netherite gear also has a slight knockback resistance, further enhancing its survivability. Due to its rarity and superior properties, Netherite is considered the endgame material in Minecraft.
