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. All of the blocks are also unbreakable with explosion values of even 7/8, the highest in the game, although in item form they are destroyed upon contact with a cactus like any other item. Like obsidian, it can still be broken by blue wither skulls, which always drops the item.

Blocks and items

Many blocks and items make netherite, are made with netherite, or are directly stated to be netherite. They are:

  • Ancient Debris − a rare blast-resistant block found in the Nether that can be smelted into Netherite Scraps. Ancient debris are most frequently found at y-level 15-21. Like most netherite-related items, a diamond or netherite pickaxe is needed for the item to drop.
  • Netherite Scrap − an item obtained by smelting ancient debris in a furnace or blast furnace with fuel. Netherite Scraps can also be found as loot inside a Bastion Remnant − Ancient Debris, Netherite Scrap or Netherite Ingots can be found in this structure.
  • 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 compact netherite ingot storage. It is blast resistant and can be moved with pistons.
Joke feature

Other

The netherite armor material and tier consists of the netherite helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. The tier also consists of the netherite sword, axe, pickaxe, shovel, and hoe.
