Netherite

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. Like most netherite-related items, a diamond/netherite pickaxe is needed to mine it.
• 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

• Netherite Sword
• Netherite Pickaxe
• Netherite Axe
• Netherite Shovel
• Netherite Hoe
• Netherite Helmet
• Netherite Chestplate
• Netherite Leggings
• Netherite Boots

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.

Other

• Netherite armor material
• Netherite Tier

Trivia

• Although lodestone is made with a netherite ingot, it burns in lava, unlike netherite.
• Netherite items may still be destroyed by cacti or explosions.
• With the exception of a newly dropped nether star, they are the only items that can withstand fire and lava.
  • Netherite Armor also does not take durability damage when in lava.
