How to obtain
Debris generates in small veins inside Nether terrain and requires a diamond or netherite pickaxe. It is rarely exposed to open air.
How it works
The block does not burn in lava and has high blast resistance. Smelting yields Netherite Scrap, and four scraps combine with four gold ingots.
Where to use it
A Netherite Ingot and upgrade template convert diamond gear to netherite. A full set therefore requires substantial exploration.
Practical tips
Search at suitable depths using tunnels or controlled bed and TNT explosions. Bring Fire Resistance and enough pickaxe durability.
