Netherite is a rare material from the Nether, used primarily to upgrade diamond gear. Netherite items are more powerful and durable than diamond, can float in lava, and cannot burn.

Blocks and items

  • Ancient Debris − an ore found in the Nether, and the item obtained by mining it. It is most frequently found at y level 15, is blast resistant, and can be moved with pistons.
  • Netherite Scrap − an item obtained by smelting ancient debris in a furnace or blast furnace with fuel.
  • Netherite Ingot − an item created by combining 4 netherite scraps and 4 gold ingots, used for crafting and smithing.
  • Block of Netherite − a block used for decoration, beacon bases and fuels, and compact Netherite storage. It is blast resistant and can be moved with pistons.
  • Lodestone – a block used in tandem with a compass. When a compass is used on a lodestone, the needle points toward that lodestone.
  • Swaggiest stairs ever (netherite stairs) – a joke version of stairs for the netherite block, only available in snapshot 20w14∞.

Tools, weapons, and armor

The items listed above can be obtained only through upgrading via a smithing table and are made with one netherite ingot combined with that item in the diamond form. Upgrading also preserves existing enchantments and custom names.

Trivia

  • Netherite items are the only items in the game that cannot burn in lava. A possible exception is a newly dropped wither star.
  • Netherite items may still be destroyed by cacti or explosions.
  • Although the lodestone is made with a netherite ingot, it can still be burned by lava.
  • Netherite can be found throughout all altitudes the nether, but is more common between y=12 and y=18
  • Only 2 Ancient Debris ore veins will spawn per chunk in the nether. One at around y=15 and one above, this is why its most common to look for Ancient Debris around y=15. Since you only need to deal with 15 layers of nether.
