How to Craft Netherite Armor & Tools in Minecraft 1.20 Update?
Usually, players who decide to upgrade their Diamond gear into a Netherite one can start by going into the Nether and locating Ancient Debris. With the help of the Diamond Pickaxe, players were able to mine Ancient Debris and later smelt it using a normal or blast Furnace to obtain netherite scraps from the process. But after the 1.20 update, there is an added step to this whole process. Let us now look at the updated method of crafting Netherite gear:
Venture into the Nether
The player must own a Diamond gear as the initial step of the process. Possession of Gold ingots is a necessity to craft Netherite ingots. The following step is to start venturing into the Nether. After entering the Nether, your next job is to locate a Bastion Remnant; however, the chances of their spawning are quite high (more than 50%). For those who have their cheats on, type in “/locate structure minecraft:bastion_remnant” after pressing ‘T’ on your keyboard or the Right D-Pad button on your controller. This gives the exact location of the nearest Bastion Remnant. Click on the coordinates, and you will be teleported directly to the place.
After locating the Bastion Remnant, work your way to locate the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template in Chests. For those with the cheats on, you can turn on the spectator mode by typing “/gamemode spectator” and moving around to locate chests. These chests have nearly a 10% chance of containing the Smithing Template.
Ancient Debris
After getting your hands on the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template, work on locating Ancient Debris present in the same region or from any other Nether region by mining. You can also use TNT to clear more areas. Moreover, TNT does not have the power to destroy Ancient Debris, making your work of locating them even easier. After finding them, you can mine the Ancient Debris with your Diamond Axe. Make sure to get at least 20+ Ancient Debris.
Smelting time
Now, head back to your house located outside the Nether. It is time to use your Furnace and crafting table. Put the Ancient Debris from your inventory into the Furnace and smelt it into Netherite Scrap. Next up, use your crafting table to combine your gold ingots with the Netherite scraps in the following order, as shown in the image. If placed correctly, you will be able to craft Netherite ingots.
Note: It can be difficult to visit the Nether every time to obtain a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template. So, to ease the process of getting one, use your crafting table to duplicate the existing Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template. All you need to do is combine the template with Netherrack and Diamonds. Do this until you have enough duplicates. This might be useful for future upgrades.
Smithing table
After you have enough Netherite ingots, use the Smithing table to craft your very own Netherite gear by combining your existing Diamond gear (Armor/ Tools) with the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template and the Netherite Ingots crafted before. And now you own a cool collection of Netherite tools and gear to make your Minecraft experience quite enjoyable.
Although the process of obtaining Netherite gear is a bit complicated, it is still exciting. Anyway, we hope this detailed guide has given you some insights about how to craft your very own Netherite gear without any hassle.
