Netherite Ingot

Netherite ingots are crafting materials used to make the strongest-tier tools, weapons, and armor. Unlike other items, they are not destroyed when thrown into fire or lava.

Obtaining
Netherite ingots are obtained by crafting four netherite scraps and four gold ingots. It is a shapeless recipe, therefore the placement of the netherite scraps and gold ingots does not matter when crafting it.

Usage
Netherite ingots do not burn.

Smithing ingredient
Netherite ingots can be used on a smithing table to upgrade diamond items to netherite items. Data such as durability, enchantments, and custom name are preserved.

Repairing
Netherite ingots are the repair items for the netherite tier and armor material, and thus can be used to repair the following items in an anvil:

Beacons
Netherite ingots can be used to select powers from a beacon. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot.

A netherite ingot can be substituted for an emerald, a gold ingot, iron ingot, or a diamond. The gold option would consume 3 less gold and no netherite material.
