1. 1

   Get a set of Diamond armor. You'll need a Diamond Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, and Boots. If you don't already have a set of Diamond armor, you'll need 24 Diamonds to craft it.^[1]

   • You'll need 5 Diamonds for the helmet, 8 Diamonds for the chestplate, 7 Diamonds for the leggings, and 4 Diamonds for the boots.
   • Diamond armor can be crafted in the 3x3 crafting grid.
   • You don't have to do this step first, but you will need to get a full set of Diamond armor before you can make Netherite armor.

2. 2

   Go to the Nether. You must get Netherite Scraps to create Netherite armor, which can only be found in the Nether. To access the Nether, you must go through a Nether Portal.

   • You can build a Nether Portal with 14 Obsidian configured in a 4x5 rectangle (though you can leave out the corners and create a portal with just 10 Obsidian). Once the structure is built, light it on fire to activate the Nether Portal.^[2]
   • You can also access the Nether by fixing a Ruined Portal, if you've found one.

3. 3

   Mine 16 Ancient Debris with a Diamond Pickaxe. Ancient Debris is an ore found in the Nether. It's a scatter ore, which means it is generated in dispersed clusters.^[3]

   • You can also use a Netherite Pickaxe to mine Ancient Debris, if you have one.
   • If you use any other type of pickaxe, the mined Ancient Debris will drop nothing.^[4]

4. 4

   Smelt the Ancient Debris into Netherite Scraps. One Ancient Debris will be smelted into one Netherite Scrap when placed into a smelter with fuel.^[5]

   • You can smelt in a furnace, blast furnace, smoker, or campfire.

5. 5

   Craft 4 Netherite Ingots. Combine 4 Netherite Scraps and 4 Gold Ingots in the 3x3 crafting grid to make 1 Netherite Ingot. This recipe is shapeless, which means you don't need to put the materials in any particular configuration to craft the resulting item.

   • 1 Gold Ingot can be crafted with 9 Gold Nuggets, or by smelting 1 Gold Ore, Nether Gold Ore, Deepslate Gold Ore, or Raw Gold.^[6]

6. 6

   Obtain a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template. Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates can be found in Bastion Remnants. There is a 10% chance of finding one in a Hoglin stable chest, generic chest, and bridge chest, and a 100% chance of finding one in a treasure chest.^[7]

7. 7

   Duplicate your Smithing Template, or find more. If you find one Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template, you can duplicate it with 7 Diamonds and 1 Netherrack. If you find 1 Smithing Template, you'll need 3 Netherrack and 21 Diamonds to duplicate it.

   • You can, alternatively, keep searching for more Smithing Templates in Bastion Remnants.

8. 8

   Craft a Smithing Table, if you don't already have one. You'll need 2 Iron Ingots and any 4 Planks to craft a Smithing Table. Alternatively, you can use a Smithing Table that spawns in Toolsmith houses in Villages or in Trail Ruins.^[8]

9. 9

   Upgrade each piece of Diamond armor with a Netherite Ingot. Place a Netherite Ingot, a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template, and a piece of Diamond armor in the Smithing Table to create a piece of Netherite armor.

   • Repeat this step for the helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots to create a full set of Netherite armor.
