What is Netherite Scrap in Minecraft?

A netherite scrap is a dark, rough piece of refined material that you get from ancient debris. On its own, it has no use at all. You cannot build with it or use it as a tool. Its only purpose is to be the first and most important ingredient for crafting a netherite ingot, which is the key to making the best gear in the game. Think of netherite scrap as the raw, unrefined potential of netherite, waiting to be combined with gold to unlock its true power.

How to get Netherite Scrap in Minecraft

There is only one way to get netherite scrap in survival mode: you must smelt ancient debris in a furnace or blast furnace. To do this, you first need to find ancient debris. This is a very rare, blast resistant block that is only found deep underground in the Nether, with the best place to look being around Y level 15. You will need at least a diamond pickaxe to mine it. A popular way to find it is by using beds or TNT to create large explosions, which will clear out the weaker netherrack but leave the ancient debris behind. Once you have some ancient debris, just cook it in a furnace, and it will turn into one netherite scrap.

How to use Netherite Scrap in Minecraft

The one and only use for a netherite scrap is to craft a netherite ingot. To do this, you will need four netherite scraps and four gold ingots. Go to a crafting table and place these eight items anywhere in the crafting grid. The recipe is shapeless, so their position does not matter. This will create one single netherite ingot. You will need to repeat this process for every netherite ingot you want to make, so be prepared to do a lot of mining for ancient debris.
