What is Netherite Block in Minecraft?
A block of netherite is a solid, dark block made from nine netherite ingots. It has a dark, purplish gray color and a metallic, slightly bumpy texture. It is the single most valuable and expensive block in all of Minecraft. Its main purpose is to be a compact way to store netherite ingots, the material used to make the best gear in the game. Crafting a block of netherite is the ultimate display of wealth and power. It is also a key material for building a fully powered beacon, representing the highest tier of pyramid material. For builders, it is the ultimate decorative block for showing off incredible riches and creating an atmosphere of immense power and prestige.
How to get Netherite Block in Minecraft
The only way to get a block of netherite is by crafting it. This is one of the most difficult and time consuming items to craft in the entire game. To craft one, you will first need to gather nine netherite ingots. Each netherite ingot is crafted from four netherite scraps and four gold ingots. You get netherite scraps by smelting ancient debris, an extremely rare ore found in the Nether, most commonly around Y level 15. This means to craft a single block of netherite, you need to find and smelt 36 blocks of ancient debris and gather 36 gold ingots. This is a massive undertaking that requires hours of dangerous mining in the Nether. Once you have finally gathered your nine netherite ingots, open a crafting table. Place the nine ingots in a three by three square, filling the entire grid. This will give you one block of netherite.
How to use Netherite Block in Minecraft
A block of netherite has three main uses. The first is storage. If you are wealthy enough to have more than nine netherite ingots, crafting them into a block is the only way to store them compactly. You can turn a block of netherite back into nine ingots at any time. The second, and most practical, use is for powering a beacon. A block of netherite is the highest tier material you can use to build the pyramid base for a beacon. A full beacon pyramid made of netherite blocks is the biggest flex in the game. The third use is for decoration. A block of netherite is the ultimate status symbol. Placing one in your base is a way of showing everyone how powerful you are. It also has a very high blast resistance, making it a very strong, albeit absurdly expensive, building material.
