Netherite

Netherite is a rare material from the Nether, used primarily to upgrade diamond gear. Netherite items are more powerful and durable than diamond, can float in lava, and cannot burn. All of the blocks are also unbreakable with explosion values of even 7/8, the highest in the game.

Blocks and items

 * − a rare block found in the Nether, and the item obtained by mining it. It is most frequently found at y-level 15 and it is blast resistant. It also can be moved with pistons. Like most netherite-related items, a diamond or netherite pickaxe is needed to mine it.
 * − an item obtained by smelting ancient debris in a furnace or blast furnace with fuel.
 * − an item created by combining 4 netherite scraps and 4 gold ingots, used for crafting and smithing.

Tools, weapons, and armor
The items listed above can be obtained only through upgrading with a smithing table and are made with one netherite ingot combined with that item in the diamond form. Upgrading also preserves existing enchantments and custom names.

Trivia

 * Although lodestones are made with netherite ingots, it does not possess any qualites of netherite.
 * Netherite items may still be destroyed by cacti or explosions.
 * With the exception of a newly dropped nether star, they are the only items that can withstand fire and lava.
