Netherite Ingot

"With the Nether update, we felt that we wanted to create a long-term goal for the players, and reward them for spending time in the Nether. We also felt that this was a chance to introduce a brand new material to work with – and that it was the perfect time to do so."

- Jeb about Netherite

Netherite ingots are rare items obtained from crafting netherite scraps and gold ingots together, as well as loot from bastion remnant loot chests. Unlike other items, they are not destroyed by fire damage, and are immune to 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 are crafting materials used to make netherite tools, weapons, and armor.

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.
