Ancient debris is a rare ore found in the Nether, and is the only source of netherite scrap. It floats on lava in item form and it cannot be burned. It also has an extremely high blast resistance, meaning it cannot be blown up.

Natural generation

Mineral veins

Ancient Debris Spawn Rate Per Layer

Ancient debris spawn rate per layer.

Ancient debris generate in the Nether in the form of mineral veins. Two veins generate per chunk: one vein of 1–3 ancient debris generates with a periodic Gaussian distribution (similarly to lapis lazuli ore) between levels 8–22, and an additional vein of 1–2 ancient debris generates randomly between levels 8–119. There are up to 5 ancient debris blocks per chunk. Ancient debris will never generate exposed to air.

Obtaining

Ancient debris drops as an item if mined by a diamond pickaxe or better. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing.

{{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Tool|Tool]]<br/>{{About|the in-game items|program enhancing software|Programs and Editors}}

A '''tool''' is an [[item]] used by the [[player]] while held to perform actions faster and more efficiently, to gather materials not obtainable by hand, to gain information, or to perform completely new actions. With the exception of the [[clock]], [[compass]], empty [[bucket]], and [[lead]], tools do not stack in the inventory. Tools can be repaired; see [[Item repair]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
{{main|Drops#Mob drops|title1=Drops}}
Some tools can be obtained by killing mobs that carry the equipment.

=== Crafting ===
Most tools can be obtained through crafting.
{{:Crafting/Tools}}

=== Upgrading ===
[[Netherite]] tools can be obtained only through upgrading.

== Usage ==
=== Best tools ===
{{main|Breaking#Best tools|title1=Breaking}}

Many blocks have a preferred tool to break them. Some blocks can be broken only with certain tools. The tool's material also affects how fast a block is mined. Materials from worst to best in terms of mining speed are wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, gold.

=== Item durability ===
{{main|Durability}}

Different tools have different amounts of durability. Some uses require more durability to be used than others. A tool's durability is also affected by its material. Materials from worst to best in terms of durability are gold, wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite.

Some tools are not block-breaking tools: This includes bows, fishing rods, carrots on sticks, flint & steel, and buckets. Such tools are no better than bare fists at breaking blocks, but they do not take damage from doing so—they take damage from being used in their own intended manners.

=== Item enchantability ===
Materials from worst to best in terms of [[enchantability]] are stone, diamond, iron, wooden/netherite, gold.

=== Smelting ===
{{main|Smelting}}

Iron or golden tools can be smelted into [[nugget]]s.

; Fuel

== Trivia ==
* Gold tools are actually ranked as superior to diamond tools on the [[Legacy Console Edition]]'s crafting screen.
* Wooden tools can be burned in a furnace regardless of its durability; this means the player can burn a wooden tool that has only 1 use left.

'''Drinks''' are a narrow class of consumable [[item]]s that can be ingested by the player in an extremely similar manner to [[food]]. However, drinks are not encountered quite as commonly as food is, and they are not nearly as integral to survival gameplay. Drinks can generally be distinguished from food from the sounds they make upon consumption, the lack of particles emitted by them, and the fact that they leave behind an empty container after consumption. They also do not require the hunger bar to be depleted, and do not affect hunger or saturation values upon use (with the exception of [[honey bottle]]s).

Drinks are drunk by holding {{control|use item}} while having the drink [[item]] selected in the hotbar or in the off hand.
