About Ancient Debris

Ancient Debris is Minecraft's rarest ore, found only in the Nether. When smelted, it produces Netherite Scraps, which combine with gold ingots to create Netherite Ingots. Netherite upgrades diamond gear to the game's strongest tier, offering unmatched durability and protection. Resistant to lava and explosions, Ancient Debris requires careful mining strategies and appears in small veins deep in the Nether.

How to Find Ancient Debris In Minecraft

Ancient Debris generates in the Nether between Y-levels 8 and 119, with peak abundance at Y-level 15. It spawns in veins of 1-3 blocks and requires a diamond pickaxe or better. Optimal mining includes TNT or bed explosions at Y-15, as the ore is blast-resistant. Strip mining with fire resistance potions is another effective method. Careful navigation is needed to avoid lava lakes.
