Ancient Debris block in Minecraft

Added in 1.16 Mined with: pickaxe Requires at least diamond Stack size: 64 In 2 tutorials ↓

Ancient Debris is the rare ore of the Nether, the only source of netherite.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier diamond).

What it does

It hides deep in the Nether, mostly in the lower layers, and is rarely exposed to air. It needs a diamond pickaxe, resists explosions, so bed or TNT mining is a common way to find it, and as an item it does not burn in lava. Smelt it into Netherite Scrap.

How to craft

This item has no crafting recipe.
