The World of Minecraft is constituted of blocks and the blocks themselves are the main source of items for the players along with mob drops. Here we take a look at the Minecraft Ancient Debris, which is quite a rare block that the players can obtain and has one of the most important uses in the game.

The main focus was the Nether dimension and it introduced many new biomes along with blocks and mobs to populate those said biomes. It also introduced the game-changing next step to Diamond, the Netherite Ingot, which is a higher tier material than diamonds.

We take a look at the Minecraft Ancient Debris which is a pre-requisite to get the strongest material in the game, Netherite.

They are naturally generated in the Nether realm and come in clusters of 1-3 per chunk. However, in rare conditions, players can find 5 Ancient Debris in one cluster. They appear underground and never exposed to the air. The depth of -15 is the optimal depth to find this block. Players need to use a Diamond or a Netherite Pickaxe in order to break and obtain the block. If it is mined with anything else, it drops nothing.

They also generate inside Chests found in Bastion Remnants.

  • The Minecraft Ancient Debris is one of the hardest blocks in the game and has a high blast resistance and does not burn in lava and immune to explosions. Therefore, it is a hardy material that can block almost anything in the game.
  • Players can put the mined Ancient Debris block in a Furnace or a Blast Furnace to get Netherite Scraps. These scraps are used alongside gold, to make the hardest crafting material in the game, the Netherite Ingot.
  • Netherite weapons, tools and armor give a huge boost to the players and are therefore quite handy to have in the late game.
