Tutorials/Ancient Debris

Ancient debris will be coming in the new 1.16 Nether Update to Minecraft.

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. 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. Potions of Fire Resistance are recommended, but not required. 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, don not make beds before Step2

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

Start mining a tunnel. On every 16th block, mine tunnels at size 1x1x5 (1 block wide, 1 block high and 5 blocks long), which will be one block higher than the Y position where you are now standing.
 * Step 3

Put beds farthest as you can place in tunnels. Click on the bed. After bed exploding, you will probably find 0 up to 3 Ancient Debris in the explosion.
 * Step 4
 * Step 5

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)
