Netherite

Netherite is rare material from the Nether. Netherite items are more powerful and durable than diamond, can float in lava, and cannot burn. They are harvested by combining gold with smelted Ancient Debris. This will create a Netherite ingot which players can use to upgrade their diamond tools with.
