Finding items in Minecraft can be a gift and a curse. However, the moment of happiness after finding the rarest items in the game can never feel dull, even if it becomes repetitive.

If you have a knack for finding the rarest of items, Netherite is something you should look out for. Like other ingots in Minecraft, it is a hard material that you can use to craft weapons and armor, which are nearly unbreakable. Want to know how to get Netherite? Here’s how to do it.

Finding Netherite in Minecraft can be challenging; it is as complicated as finding diamond in the Overworld. Considering how the entirety of the Nether is covered with lava, finding the right digging spot to reach the lower areas is a problem.

Once you reach around Y = 12, you can start digging around your environment to find Ancient Debris. If you’re unfamiliar, Ancient Debris is the initial stage of Netherite, which can later be smelted into Netherite by mixing with another item. Additionally, you can find these items in the Nether fortresses, making your search more convenient, but you must stock up on armor and food to keep yourself safe.

After gathering a handful of Ancient Debris, you can return to the Overworld and find your base.

How To Make Netherite in Minecraft?

With the Ancient Debris now in your inventory, you can craft Netherite. However, you need to first craft Netherite Scrap by baking the debris with coal inside the furnace; the blast furnace is faster.

Finally, with Netherite Scraps and Gold Ingots, you can use the crafting table and craft Netherite Ingots. Place the Netherite Scraps and Gold Ingots in this formation:

Once the Netherite Ingot appears in the output box, you can put it in your inventory.
