How to Find Netherite in Minecraft

As you may know, netherite is the strongest material that you can use to make powerful weapons, long-lasting tools, and the strongest armor in Minecraft. It Is much more valuable thandiamonds, even though they are still considered OG precious items. In this guide, we’ll be teaching you where you can find netherite, or more precisely ancient debris in Minecraft. Also, learn how you can turn netherite into an ingot here. So, with that said, let’s jump right in!

Where Does Netherite Generate in Minecraft

Contrary to other armor materials in the game, netherite doesn’t have a direct ore block. Instead, the block you should look for is calledancient debris. It is a material block that only generates rarely in the Nether dimension.

Here are some of the facts to keep in mind while searching for ancient debris:

There are no biomes that have a higher rate of ancient debris (or netherite) spawns. But it is much easier for you to locate it in all but one biome. The biome you should avoid isbasalt delta. This is because the terrain underneath all other biomes is mainly made of netherrack, a block that you can easily instantly mine, even if you don’t have thebest pickaxe enchantments.

However, the terrain below the basalt delta is all made of tough blocks like basalt and blackstone. So, it’s far harder to mine through them than netherrack. However, one more thing to keep in mind is the mobs that spawn in each biome. If you create a large enough area below, the mobs, including a ghast will be able to spawn. So, be careful.

What You Need to Get Netherite in Minecraft

Since netherite or ancient debris generates only in the Nether dimension, you’ll need to first access it. So, gather 10obsidianat least and a flint and steel andmake a Nether portal in Minecraft. Apart from reaching the Nether though, you have to also prepare to find netherite in Minecraft. These are the items we recommend you bring:

Due to netherite generating low in the Nether, you have to first uncover it. So, mining with a pickaxe is the easiest option, but not the fastest. Furthermore, a diamond or netherite pickaxe is required to mine ancient debris. So, if this is your first time obtaining netherite, you need tohave adiamond pickaxe.

TheTNT blocksare completely optional but are better solutions than mining with a pickaxe. You’ll uncover a lot larger area rather quickly and you can even be at a safe distance from the explosions, so lava doesn’t fall on your head.

In case you didn’t know, if you try to sleep in the Nether, the bed will explode. So, the third method for mining is by usingbeds. Though beds are far more dangerous, but also cheaper than TNT. So, in case you’re inexperienced with the bed method, you should stick to using the pickaxe and TNT.

Potion of Fire Resistanceis the item we 100% recommend you bring along, as it will negate all the fire damage from lava or fires. And if you’ve ever been to the Nether, you know that lava and fires are everywhere. Also, single lava sources are generated everywhere in the Nether terrain, so this potion may very well save your life.

Find and Mine Ancient Debris in Minecraft

Now that we know where to look for ancient debris, it’s time to find and mine it. Follow these steps to reach ancient debris and get netherite in the game.

Note:

You need4 blocks of ancient debris to make one Netherite ingot. So, don’t leave the Nether without finding and collecting at least that many blocks.

How to Make Netherite from Ancient Debris

Once you have mined four blocks of ancient debris, the next step is to convert them into netherite. Follow these steps to do so:

Other Ways to Get Netherite in Minecraft

If finding and mining netherite in Minecraft feels like too much work, you can also obtain it fromchestloot in the Nether. Ancient debris, netherite scraps, and whole netherite ingots spawn in thechest loot of bastion remnants. The Netherite scrap has a higher spawn rate than the ancient debris. But, you can only get one scrap in each chest. Meanwhile, you can get up to two blocks of ancient debris in non-generic chests.

But keep in mind that these structures are dangerous. Piglins are pretty easy to deal withMinecraft mobs, but piglin brutes hit very hard and are not distracted by gold. But if you’re a pro, or really do not want to spend time mining, looting piglin bases can prove to be both exciting and rewarding.

With that, you now know how to find and obtain netherite in Minecraft and also have access to the best armor and strongest weapons in the game. As you can see, netherite is pretty difficult to get, especially in large quantities.

Not only that, but it’s useless without anetherite upgrade. This is a smithing template necessary for upgrading your diamond gear to netherite. That said, what is your favorite way of getting netherite? Tell us in the comments below!

In most cases, probably no. Diamond equipment is pretty decent and can easily be repaired with mending and XP. But, netherite gear does have a lot more durability. So, if you’re working on massive projects, then having netherite tools is definitely better than diamond.Moreover, all the netherite-related items don’t burn in lava, so are great for projects in the Nether dimension. Besides all of that, netherite is still pretty cool, so flexing to your server mates is one of the reasons it’s worth it.

Netherite weapons, tools, and armor have a greater chance of getting better enchantments in theenchanting table. So, if you can help it, enchanting netherite is better than diamond.
