Netherite is a material from the Nether, used primarily to upgrade diamond gear. Netherite items are more powerful and durable than diamond, and in dropped-item form are resistant to burning by fire and lava. Netherite blocks are also unbreakable by the strongest explosions from normal gameplay, with the exception of blue wither skulls.
Blocks and items[]
Many blocks and items make netherite, are made with netherite, are used to upgrade gear to netherite, or are directly stated to be netherite. They are:
- Ancient Debris: the blast-resistant ore form rarely found at low depths in the Nether or as loot in bastion remnants, which may also contain netherite scraps and ingots.
- Netherite Scrap: an item obtained by smelting ancient debris, used to craft netherite ingots.
- Netherite Ingot: an item obtained by crafting 4 netherite scraps with 4 gold ingots, used for crafting and upgrading diamond gear to netherite.
- Netherite Upgrade: one of the 19 smithing templates, found as loot in bastion remnants, that is used for upgrading diamond gear to netherite.
- Block of Netherite: the block form of netherite, crafted with 9 netherite ingots.
