And in this guide, we will show you how to find the Netherite Upgrade template and use it.
What is a Netherite Upgrade in Minecraft 1.20
Netherite Upgrade smithing template in Minecraft is an item found in the Bastion Remnants. It can be used toupgrade your diamond armor, tools, and weapons to netherite. These upgrades are extremely valuable and rare.
Unlike any other netherite item, including scraps, ingots, blocks, gear, ancient debris, the netherite upgrade template burns in lava, so be careful while carrying it around in the Nether. You will just need to find one of them, because they can be duplicated with a crafting recipe, although, it’s quite expensive. More on the duplication process below.
Where to Find the Netherite Upgrade in Minecraft
You can find the netherite upgrade smithing template in the chests generated in theBastion Remnants. They are grand structures made up of various blackstone blocks and are homes to Piglins and Piglin Brutes. If you want to learn about these mobs, check out our guide onall the mobs in Minecraft. There are four types of bastions in Minecraft:
All of these structures have their own layouts, looks, and dangers that challenge the player in different ways. Chests in all of these bastions have a chance to generate the netherite upgrade smithing template. However, thatchance is about 10%for each one of them, except theTreasure Roombastion.
Larger part of this bastion type has a center platform at the bottom that is surrounded by lava. This platform is usually covered with plenty of gold blocks and one or more chests. Every chest generated on this platform isguaranteed to include a netherite upgrade. Other chests in the Treasure Room bastions have the same odds as the other bastion types.
How to Raid a Bastion to Get Netherite Upgrade
Raiding a bastion can be a rather difficult task. These structures are populated by Piglins, Piglin Brutes, and Hoglins (in case of Hoglin Stable bastions). Regular piglins are usually not a huge threat if you are wearing at least one piece of gold armor. However, piglin brutes surely are not to be messed with. They are one of the strongest mobs in the game and pack a hefty punch. Since they use an axe as their primary weapon, shields are not effective against them. You also cannot distract them with gold ingots, they don’t fall for that.
Moreover, piglins are collective mobs, which means if one is attacked, other nearby piglins will become agro and attack you. This implies you cannot just take care of the piglin brutes by attacking them directly and have no problems with other piglins. So, the main goal is to defeat piglin brutes and get out of there alive, and there are a few ways in which you can do this more easily.
Using Lava Buckets
This is probably thebest way to raid a bastionand find the netherite upgrade in Minecraft. Unlike zombified piglins, piglins and piglin brutes take damage in lava. This means you can bring one or more lava buckets and every time you encounter a piglin brute, get to a safe location, usually above them, and pour lava on their head.
Piglin brutes will quickly die and other piglins won’t get aggressive towards you. You can repeat this until you get rid of them all. You could also eliminate all the regular piglins as well.
Using Boats
Boats in Minecrafthave one undoubtedly useful feature, they cantrap mobs in them. Not all mobs can be trapped in them, but piglin brutes sure can. Bring a few boats and place them once you have agreed a brute. They will run after you and get stuck in the boat, after which they won’t be an issue.
Sometimes, however, their hitbox doesn’t collide with the boat’s hitbox, so they just walk over the boat, leaving you running for your life. Moreover, it’s kind of annoying to place the boat occasionally, they need a lot of space and don’t fit where you want them to.
Defeating All the Piglins in the Bastion
This may quite possibly be very obvious, but you can also just kill all the piglins in the bastion. If you are not patient and would rather rush this whole process, well, you can, but it’s not going to be easy.
Keep in mind that once you start shooting them with your bow or crossbow, every piglin in range will get agroed. Furthermore, piglins can have crossbows too, so even if you’re away from them, you can still take damage. Not to mention that they can be everywhere around you, so watch your back. Although, this is quite challenging it could also be a pretty fun experience.
Looting the Chests in the Bastion
So, you managed to reach a chest in the bastion and are ready to open it and find the netherite upgrade smithing template in Minecraft. Don’t do it just yet, you have to prepare first. As you may know already, piglins get agroed on you when you open achest,ender chestorshulker boxnear them, even though you’re wearing a piece of gold armor.
Before right clicking on that chest, surround yourself in a box. Block off all the possible paths to you, and you should be safe. After you open the chest, piglins will get agroed on you no matter what, but you will be safe inside your cubby. Give the piglins a couple minutes and leave the box and loot other chests once you stop hearing their agro noises.
