Items Required To Make Full Set Netherite Armor

To make a full set of Netherite armor in Minecraft, you need 4 Netherite Ingots. However, you also need other materials to craft the equipment.

Here is the complete list:

  • 4 Netherite Ingots
  • 4 Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates
  • Smithing Table
  • Diamond Armor Set (Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots)

Detailed information about each material can be found below.

To craft one Netherite Ingot, you need 4 Netherite Scraps. You can find them in the Nether as ancient debris. Simply dig down to Y=15 and start digging or blasting your way through Netherrack blocks to find these rare resources. Be careful when you are blast mining, as there are pockets of lava underground.

You need to combine 4 Netherite Scraps with 4 Gold Ingots to craft one Netherite Ingot. This means you need a total of 16 Netherite Scraps and 16 Gold Ingots to gather enough materials for a full set of armor.

The Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates are a bit trickier to get. You need to get lucky and acquire one of them first before you can start crafting more. They can be found in various game-generated structures or by defeating the Elder Guardian.

Once you acquire one, you can duplicate it using 7 Diamonds and 1 Netherrack. If you did a bit of farming for Ancient Debris, then you will have a ton of surplus Netherrack.

To convert Diamond Armor to Netherite, you need a special crafting table for smithing. You can craft one with 2 Iron Ingots and 4 Wooden Planks. The smithing table is also used as a job block for villagers, so you might find one by visiting villages in your world. However, keep in mind that the villager who claimed it might lose their profession. This means you won’t be able to trade with them, or they will find another job block to claim.

The smithing table is not that hard to craft considering it is a requirement to get one of the most valuable armor sets in the game.

You cannot get Netherite armor without crafting a full diamond set first. You can find diamonds underground or by exploring large cave systems. There are multiple ways to find diamonds in Minecraft as long as you are well-equipped enough to do some adventure. 

How To Craft Netherite Armor?

Once you have all the necessary materials, you can start crafting your full set of Netherite armor. To do that, follow these instructions:

  • Right-click your smithing table.
  • Place the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates on the first slot.
  • Put a diamond armor piece on the second slot.
  • Place Netherite Ingots on the third and final slot.

A piece of Netherite armor should pop up in the right empty slot. Do this for the rest of the diamond armor set. Once you have your full Netherite armor set in Minecraft, try using it for your tools as well. If you want, you can even make a Netherite beacon.

Netherite Armor Durability

The Netherite armor set boasts the highest durability of all the equipment in the game. Here are their durability values:

  • Helmet: 407
  • Chestplate: 592
  • Leggings: 555
  • Boots: 481

Applying the Unbreaking enchantment to each piece of your gear increases its durability, reducing the likelihood of it wearing out quickly. However, if you’re looking for near-infinite durability, the Mending enchantment is the ultimate choice. With Mending, your tools and equipment can continuously repair themselves as you gain EXP in the game, ensuring they never break. While incredibly useful, Mending is a rare enchantment, so it may take some time and effort to acquire enough for all your gear. Patience and persistence will pay off as you gradually upgrade your equipment with this game-changing enchantment.
