Today the spotlight falls on one of the most popular sandbox games, Minecraft. The guide explains how to obtain Netherite quickly. Netherite is a rare material that is stronger than diamond, resistant to fire and lava, and highly valued for equipment durability.
Let’s begin by launching Minecraft. If solo play feels limiting, consider joining a Minecraft server that supports versions from 1.16 onward, since Netherite was introduced in that era. A practical recommendation is to explore servers listed on mineserv.top, which offers reliable monitoring. Now, what does the mining process look like?
Mining Process
Mining starts with ancient debris, the ore from which Netherite is obtained. To mine it effectively, players need a diamond or Netherite pickaxe. Using any other tool will not yield results and the pickaxe can break.
Craft a proper pickaxe first, then locate a portal to the Nether.
Ancient debris typically generates around height Y = 15 blocks. Players can view their coordinates by pressing F3. A descent to this depth begins the digging operation.
Safety is essential, as lava lakes are a common hazard in the Nether.
The task can feel lengthy and slow at times.
After collecting at least four ancient debris fragments, players can advance to the next stage, which is melting the blocks.
How to speed up the retrieval of ancient debris?
It becomes clear that searching for ancient debris can take time. Several extraction methods exist, and the main ones are reviewed here.
Classic method
The traditional approach is to ascend to the target height and dig straight ahead. It is steady and dependable, though not exciting. If the mood is light, play some music to keep spirits up.
Use dynamite
If the classic method feels dull, another option is to bring plenty of dynamite, fill the mine and detonate it. It is effective but requires caution to avoid damaging oneself or the tunnel.
Fun fact: beds explode in the Nether. A bed can be used instead of dynamite in certain situations, though it is risky and is not a standard technique.
Using cheats
Cheating is not endorsed here, yet some players experiment with X-Ray tools to peek through blocks and locate valuable ores. Even so, this practice is controversial and typically discouraged on honest servers.
Melting blocks
After obtaining the debris, the next step is to melt it in a furnace to yield Netherite Scraps.
Netherite scraps can also be found in bastion remnants chests, adding another source besides mining.
To convert Netherite Scrap into a Netherite Ingot, the required ingredients are four Netherite Scraps and four gold ingots.
- 4 Netherite Scraps
- 4 Gold Ingots
Using a crafting table, players combine these into a Netherite Ingot.
With Netherite Ingot in hand, players can upgrade their diamond gear at a smithing table. Netherite equipment offers greater durability, remains intact in fire or lava, and provides recoil resistance.
