Netherite Ingot

Usage

Blocks of netherite can be used to store netherite ingots in a compact fashion.

A single block of netherite is enough to upgrade a full set of diamond armor and five diamond weapons or tools.

Blocks of netherite have a blast resistance of 1,200, the same as obsidian, crying obsidian, ancient debris, respawn anchor, and enchanting tables. Unlike obsidian, blocks of netherite (and ancient debris) can be moved with pistons, which makes it useful in redstone builds. However, these blocks can be destroyed by explosions while being pushed or pulled by pistons‌^{[Java Edition only]}.

It can be destroyed by a wither's blue skulls and on contact with a wither.

Beacons

Blocks of netherite can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of netherite blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely netherite blocks, as any combination of iron blocks, gold blocks, diamond blocks, emerald blocks, or netherite blocks can power a beacon.
