Tutorials/Ancient Debris

Ancient debris came to Minecraft in the 1.16 Nether Update.

It can be obtained by using beds to blow up the surroundings and locate it easier. The best way to find it is by going to y = 16 as that is where it is concentrated the most.

Manster-Mining
Using a diamond pickaxe with Efficiency V, Mending, Unbreaking III and Fortune III, the player can instamine the netherrack going in one direction until they hit lava and turning. It is highly recommended to have extended potions of fire resistance because it is easy to find yourself engulfed in lava, especially since lava flows a lot faster in the nether than in the overworld and you may not have time to block it off before it makes a mess. The mending and unbreaking III is important because it helps with the durability. No beds or TNT are needed for this method, which makes the only resource needed other than tools to be food. This method allows you to go about 60 blocks per second. The best-known usage of this method retrieved the player 70 ancient debris in one hour. The player can mend their pickaxe by mining the quartz found along the way (Fortune may help if you want to get more quartz). This allows for the player to mine for ancient debris for as long as they have food. Also, the player should mark the coordinates of where they started mining so they can easily find their way back.

The Bed Method
This is a really easy method, as you don't need to mine a lot. However, you will need to use many and many beds, so we recommend to have a wool farm and wood planks. Also, do not use beds until Step 2

Basics
Mine all the way to Y 15, as there will be most of ancient debris.
 * Step 1 - Mining

Put down crafting table and craft beds. If you have a full inventory, craft chest, where you will put wool and planks, you don't need now
 * Step 2 - Crafting


 * Step 3

Start mining a tunnel. On every 16th block, mine tunnels at size 2x2x5 (2 block wide, 2 block high and 5 blocks long) perpendicular to your main tunnel.


 * Step 4

Place a bed in the side tunnel with the head of the bed facing the main tunnel.

Step 5
Place a solid block(you can use the netherack you got mining the tunnels) in front of the head of the bed.


 * Step 6

Standing behind the solid block, click on the bed. You should take almost no damage. After bed exploding, you will probably find 0 up to 3 Ancient Debris in the explosion.

Video

 * This video will help you to understand the process of exploding. However, it contains also the second explosion. You don't need to do this thing, it is not necessary, but you can have a higher chance of getting Ancient debris.

Repeat these steps on the other side and repeat it, until you have no beds (or food)
