OMGcraft – Minecraft Tips & Tutorials! – How to Get and Use ANCIENT DEBRIS for NETHERITE in Minecraft 1.16 (Nether Update)

Today we are going to be talking about all this stuff i have around me well this is an embarrassment of riches this is just way way too many but we’re gonna be talking about ancient debris everything you need to know about it and most importantly the easiest and best

Way to get it so what is ancient debris and why would you need it so if some reason you’ve been like living under a rock or something like that uh let me get into this real quick asian debris is the first step to getting the most powerful armor and weapons in the

Game another right how do you get another right well first you need to find ancient debris mine it smelt it you’ll get another right scrap as a result you get at least four of those then get four gold combine them in any crafting table in any combination and

Then bam you got another right ingot next craft the item you want out of the ing it’s wrong you don’t do it that way no uh first you need to make whatever you want out of diamonds yes it does need to be diamonds then find or get a smithing table here’s

The recipe on how to make that place the diamond armor in the first slot then the ingot in the other slot and bam now you have your netherright thing and if that diamond thing is enchanted it will keep the enchantments so that is why you want ancient debris before we go any further

Just want to say big thank you to those who are subscribed and especially a big thank you to those of you who are members of the channel you guys directly support me thank you so much for your support and also don’t forget about the nether poster 116 another poster that is

Available at hello omg.com so where do you find ancient debris in the nether well it is technically at any level but by far the best level to look for it is in the lower levels of the nether so way down here oh ah whoa did we just see we saw

Some oh it’s it’s hiding in between the lava there that’s really cool there’s some uh in the lava right there but if you actually want to find this stuff you are going to want to go in to the ground and specifically at y level why is the

Bottom and top like up and up and down level here why level 15. so why level 15 is the level that ancient debris will spawn at most often there’s a cool little graph on the wiki that shows that it’s almost exactly a mirrored image of below and above

Depending on if you want to mine above or below the exact y level 15 block so if you’re not in that mode and in survival mode what is the method that you should use to find ancient debris and the first step that i would do is x-ray yeah that’s right cheat

Well not really all you’re really doing is making sure that lava lakes and lava pockets are not going to get in your way whenever you are searching for ancient debris so find an area that you would like to start mining and remember that you’re going to be mining below you at

The correct y level why level 15 we’re gonna avoid those piglets and hoglands and whatnot so remember that we’re going to be underneath where we currently are and i’m just going to go ahead and create a little pocket of blocks just like this inside of there i’m going to

Put a composter and then i’m going to create a little sort of pillar next to that i’m going to go ahead and stand inside the composter and then take a lever put it on the top block and turn it on then take a piston and place it on that lever and i’m going

To hold down shift so i don’t accidentally just turn off the lever and it’s that piston will crush me into the composter and as you can see i get this option this x-ray basically i’ve seen through the world and this would be an area i would not want to search for engineering there’s

Just lava everywhere so let’s go see if we can find a different area you can just use your hand to break that piston break that and then let’s uh move like a few hundred blocks away and looking for a different area i will admit that the nether wastes seem to be pretty nice

Especially if you can get away from lava lakes oh that piglen’s gonna get mad at me because i’m not wearing any armor so let’s move over here oh man this is embarrassing go away piglet okay i gave myself some some golden armor leave me alone okay so

Let’s do the exact same thing that uh we did before by the way if you have a pick and i’m just too lazy to actually get one uh you can just dig up a little bit down oh i forgot my composter however i was trying to do this in survival just

Like make it look like you know anybody and anybody survival could do this but you can you know compost or down build a pillar like before put down your lever at the top of that pillar once you get into the composter and then place that piston onto it

Ah and see as you can see much less in the way of things that might we might bump into so we have some stuff over there we have lava lake but this is a much better area to to work so then you would go underneath the world and try to

Get to at least level 15. uh and if you ever run into a pocket of lava you know just hopefully that’s not a lava lake oh it might be okay we may have to turn here we go we are at uh level 15 and remember that that level is whatever

Your feet are at so right here this is 15 uh and my head would be in 16. so if you want to you can aim for the number being 14 and then your head would be in 15 and i would suggest that i’m gonna pop back

Into spectator mode just to kind of show you uh okay this is the lava thing that i ran into before but over here we have a big ocean of lava and where is it that my head sort of pops into lava here that is level 20 about maybe 19 just a bit level

20. is something that you want to keep in mind that most lava lakes in what i’ve seen they bottom out at level 20. so if you accidentally run into a lava lake with your your mine uh you would rather be below it a little bit than above it because of that bottom

Being at level 20. so we’re here back in our little hole and you could use a method of just a pickaxe so i have a pickaxe here and it has the three enchants that i would highly suggest if you want to use the pickaxe method we’re going to get to some other more

Quick methods in a moment but if this is what you want to do you want to at least have efficiency five unbreaking three and probably mending and this method the biggest issue that you’re gonna have with this method is that searching a large area does take some

Time it’s pretty fast it’s very safe because you can there’s no other explosions or anything going on like the other methods we’re about ready to cover um except that this really does destroy a pick a pics durability is not based off of time mining or anything like that it’s based

Off of the amount of blocks that you have broken and so even with unbreaking on this pick this is going to wear out a pick very very very quickly and it’s something that most people are not oh look found some ancient debris there we go most people are not going to

Want to use a diamond pick in this way because it’s just going to eat through it so fast that’s why i would suggest mending because then you can just use levels that you either harvest yourself or something like that to bring back up the durability of a pig but let’s talk

About some other methods that i think people are going to be very excited about and i have some really good facts about those other methods ancient debris is a very unique block in that it has a very very high blast resistance what does that blast resistance mean

It means that you can blow this stuff up with tnt and it will still be here after the explosion and because people want to search a much larger area than you get with just a pick and because there are so many different things that you might run into lava or

Whatnot tnt is a very very good option for searching for ancient debris it searches a big area remember the best level was 15 but if you look at that graph it branches off so that above and below level 15 are pretty good areas to search for as well so you want to search

A big area not just one layer and all of that lends itself to using tnt but smart players will remember that there is a thing about being in the nether which is that beds will explode and they like really explode like boom like that is not a small

Explosion that is a big explosion so now let’s talk about these two methods using tnt and using beds to find more of the ancient debris than just by mining there are pros and cons between using a bed and using just normal tnt and they’re pretty i didn’t realize how different these two

Options were first off let’s talk about explosion size a bed is actually a much larger explosion than tnt so we’re just going to come out kind of come on over here to an area that doesn’t have a whole bunch of stuff in it i’m going to set down

This bed and blow it up okay so we had that big ol explosion i’m going to go ahead and remove this lava just so that this area is going to look very similar to the tnt area then i’m going to come over to this side well

That one has black stone so i don’t really want to use that area i’m going to do it uh just to the right of where the bed was and show oh get out of here there’s more blackstone just to the to the left did i say right before i hope i did all

Right here we go so we’re gonna put down our tnt set that on fire and watch that one blow up boom yay so this is the area oh no they kind of collided but anyway this is the area with the tnt and then this is the

Area from the bed and the area from the bed is much larger than the area with the tnt so right here this is about the wall of of the bed area one two three four five six seven eight and i i would say nine this this

Flat area is the other one so about nine blocks in width over here in the tnt area this would be the wall of where the tnt exploded one two three four five six seven so as you can see the tnt area is much smaller of an area than the bed area

Now there’s another big striking difference which is the tnt area does not have fire in it this area with the bed whenever beds explode they set fire to the area around where they exploded where tnt does not have that as something as a byproduct of the

Explosion so the area is a lot cleaner and to be honest a lot safer than the bed area and finally tnt has an advantage that you can chain tnt together one tnt will explode and fire off another tnt so if we put down tnt

And then i’ve been kind of uh using as a ruler some torches and one two three four blocks of space then another tnt one two three four this doesn’t always work sometimes the tnt will not chain uh especially if there’s a very blast resistant block in the way sometimes the tnt won’t

Catch fire but just a four is a is a pretty good approximation where the tnt will cause a chain reaction honestly let’s see what i say the tnt should cause a chain reaction to explode causing the next tnt down the line to explode and it’ll keep going

Which makes you your search much faster because you’re able to clear out a much bigger area so those are the pros and cons of a bed versus tnt in both methods the the method is very very similar so i’m just going to give myself a whole bunch of beds and a whole

Bunch of tnt and show you what i do whenever i am using this these methods to mine first i’m going to put myself in survival mode and the first thing i do in both methods is really just to create a strip mine looking effect and then also anytime you run into

Lava it looks like that might just be a a big old pocket of lava uh we’re just gonna avoid it and move to a new area especially gravel man gravel gravel being in the nether is like one of the worst things okay i hate it so

We’re just gonna do a big long strip mine a very long and skinny tunnel of just two tall and one wide and we’re just gonna go until we basically run into something that we can’t get around like a a pool of lava also as i’m mining

This oh see there we go okay that’s that’s cool a lot of that we wanted to avoid uh as i’m mining this out i wanted to mention some of the things that might be good to have on hand obviously a great pick a great shovel uh also a fire

Resistance potion and you can barter for a fire resistance potion with piglens uh with gold some type of armor and especially if that armor has blast protection on it mine does not at the moment but blast protection would be a great thing to have because you’re going to be working

With things that explode so first is the bed method start it off by just placing a bed and taking a step back until your your that hitbox is barely able to hit that bed and then click it there you go and it’ll explode and you can see without blast protection holy

Moly my hearts went down a lot we’re just gonna put some blast protection on all this stuff by using some commands because we don’t want that to happen and then i count basically three blocks away from the edge one two three and then another two because the bed is

Gonna take up two space and then i repeat and by the way watch my hearts now that i have blast protection you can see i take a lot less damage whenever i got that count again or just do it by feel place down a bed walk back and fire

Resistance is really good because like just happened there you catch on fire every once in a while and that is not fun to deal with and that’ll that’ll make that’ll make you die like i might do right here okay good after you’ve done that you basically head back into the area that you’ve

Exploded everything and you take a look around it looks like we found some ancient debris normally pockets of lava will open up so your next step is to get rid of that those pockets of lava and hopefully there is some ancient debris still around i mean it’s definitely going to

Be still around it’s not going to explode the blast the blast resistance of that debris won’t accidentally explode and get destroyed so that is the bed method basically explode it make sure you have blast resistance uh and do it around three blocks away from the edge by the

Way if you do put something with blast resistance in front of you like this it will also really help to not create a whole bunch of damage that can help you out but then you kind of have to mine that up and what not next let’s talk about the tnt method and

The tnt method is a little bit more straightforward because you’re going to be creating a chain reaction and walking away and it’s really just how efficient do you want to be with that chain reaction or how efficient you want to be with your tnt and so there’s a few

Little behavioral differences what i like to do is put down four and then put down another tnt so four empty spaces in between the blocks and i use the torches as a way to to determine how far i have gone from the last tnt and that works and in in that situation

The tnt every once in a while will not light the next one in the line if you want to be a little bit more i guess like make sure that it always goes off put down three but you might have another issue which is that so three empty

Spaces and then the fourth one would be the tnt but you may run into a different issue and that would be that if there is no ledge for the next tnt to be on when it explodes so i’ll go ahead and light this up and we’ll see if we can find this

The tnt will fall and will explode lower than before the the four empty blocks there tends to be a ledge for the tnt to rest on so that it will stay at the correct height so you can see sometimes it will kind of go down a little bit and

Then we got to our uh a four gap and that didn’t work but see with this method you can stay a lot further away and needing that blast protection armor isn’t quite as crucial whenever you’re using this method although it does require tnt and gunpowder is way more difficult to get

Than wool like four three pieces of wool you could create a sheep farm on your first day and have tons and tons of wool to go mining for this stuff uh with a bed but tnt you’ll need sand and you’ll need that gun powder so you basically need to

Oh look there’s some ancient debris so you’ll basically need to have a some type of creeper farm and that is probably more than most people will have pretty early on in games so that the tnt method is like a very late game thing maybe you’ve gotten a ton of tnt from desert temples

And then bam you got lots of tnt but obviously that is a much more expensive method whatever method you choose your next step is to go and get that ancient debris so just make sure that the way is safe make your way over there make sure that once this ancient

Debris falls it’s not going to catch on fire or anything like that and then go ahead and pick it up with a diamond pick it does need to be a diamond pick that like iron picks and that sort of thing will not work so you do need a diamond

Pick remember to get at least four otherwise you won’t have enough netherride scrap to make your single netherride ingot which will upgrade one item either armor or weapons or whatever and there you have it the methods that i suggest for finding ancient debris in summary be at why

Level 15 or below i stress below because of the lava lakes that might be at the level 20 and if you remember our beds exploded in a diameter of of nine so there’s a chance being at 15 at the radius of four and a half every

Once in a while you might pop into a lava lake which would be annoying so be at 15 or below you can mine with a pick if you would like although i suggest the method of using either a bed or tnt a bed has some disadvantages and some advantages and tnt has some

Disadvantages and advantages so keep both of those in mind whenever you go searching and the armor that i would suggest you have should have some blast protection on it and that about wraps it up for this episode of omgcraft thank you so much for watching i hope that you enjoyed it
