How To Get Full Netherite Armor In Minecraft 1.20!
Netherite is the pinnacle of Minecraft gear—unbreakable, lava-proof, and intimidating. But getting a full set isn’t easy. This guide breaks down the fastest ways to mine Ancient Debris, craft Netherite ingots, and upgrade your diamond gear into unstoppable armor. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Preparing for the Nether
Essential Gear
Before heading to the Nether, pack:
- Diamond pickaxe (Netherite requires diamond tools to mine).
- Fire Resistance potions (lava is everywhere).
- Golden apples (emergency healing).
- Solid armor (even diamond works—you’ll upgrade it later).
Biome Selection
Not all Nether biomes are equal:
- Best: Warped Forest and Nether Wastes (safe, easy to dig).
- Worst: Basalt Deltas (hard to mine) and Soul Sand Valleys (hostile mobs).
Step 2: Mining Ancient Debris
Optimal Y-Levels
Ancient Debris spawns most frequently at Y=15. Dig down to this level and start tunneling.
Chunk Border Mining (Java Edition)
- Press F3 + G to reveal chunk borders (yellow/blue lines).
- Dig 2×2 tunnels along these borders—Ancient Debris often spawns near them.
- Repair your pickaxe with Mending and mined gold/quartz.
Coordinate Math (Bedrock Edition)
No chunk borders? Use math:
- Divide your X or Z coordinate by 16 (e.g., 24 ÷ 16 = 1.5 → round to 2).
- Multiply by 16 to find the nearest border (2 × 16 = 32).
- Mark the border and dig 16-block spaced tunnels.
TNT Mining Method
- Dig a 100+ block tunnel at Y=13.
- Place TNT every 3-4 blocks, then ignite.
- Collect exposed Ancient Debris—1.6 per minute on average!
Step 3: Smelting and Crafting Netherite
- Smelt Ancient Debris in a furnace → Netherite Scrap.
- Craft Netherite Ingots: 4 gold + 4 scrap in a crafting table.
Step 4: Upgrading Diamond Gear
- Use a Smithing Table.
- Combine diamond armor/tools + Netherite ingot → Netherite version.
- Prioritize armor (chestplate first) for survival.
Step 5: Additional Tips and Tricks
- Repairing: Merge two damaged Netherite items or use Mending.
- Safety: Patch lava pools, avoid piglins, and always check your back.
- Efficiency: Combine TNT and chunk mining for maximum yield.
Conclusion
Netherite transforms you into a near-invincible force. Whether you prefer chunk mining or TNT chaos, the grind pays off. Now go flex that armor in the End!
