Making Diamond Armor

The journey to crafting Netherite armor begins with creating a set of Diamond armor. To make a helmet, you'll need 5 Diamonds, while a chestplate requires 8 Diamonds, leggings need 7 Diamonds, and boots require 4 Diamonds.

Finding Ancient Debris

Ancient Debris, an ore found in the Nether, is a crucial component in the process. It must be mined with a Diamond Pickaxe or a Netherite Pickaxe.

Smelting Ancient Debris

One Ancient Debris is smelted into one Netherite Scrap when placed into a smelter with fuel.

Gathering Netherite Scraps

The process of gathering Netherite Scraps may require some perseverance, as they can only be found in the Nether dimension in Minecraft, where players can find Bastion Remnants. In these remnants, players can find Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates, which are used to upgrade Diamond armor into Netherite armor at a Smithing Table.

Crafting Netherite Ingots

To craft 4 Netherite Ingots, you need to combine 4 Netherite Scraps and 4 Gold Ingots.

Finding a Smithing Table

A Smithing Table is needed to upgrade Diamond armor into Netherite armor. It can be crafted with 2 Iron Ingots and any 4 Planks, or found in Toolsmith houses in Villages or in Trail Ruins.

Upgrading Diamond Armor

To upgrade each piece of Diamond armor into Netherite armor, place a Netherite Ingot, a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template, and a piece of Diamond armor in the Smithing Table.

Duplicating Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates

If you run out of Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates, you can duplicate them with 7 Diamonds and 1 Netherrack.

Crafting Netherite Armor

To make a set of Netherite armor, you'll need 4 Netherite Ingots, 4 Upgrade Smithing Templates, Diamond Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots, a Smithing Table, and optionally 3 Netherrack and 21 Diamonds.

This guide provides a clear and straightforward path to crafting Netherite armor in Minecraft. With perseverance and the right resources, players can now forge their own Netherite armor and stand strong against the dangers of the Nether.
