To craft a full set of Netherite armor in Minecraft, you need 16 Netherite scraps. Here is the detailed breakdown:
- Each Netherite ingot requires 4 Netherite scraps and 4 gold ingots.
- A full set of Netherite armor consists of 4 pieces (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots).
- Therefore, you need 4 Netherite ingots, which means 4 × 4 = 16 Netherite scraps.
- To get Netherite scraps, you must mine Ancient Debris in the Nether and smelt it; each Ancient Debris block yields 1 Netherite scrap.
- You also need 16 gold ingots to combine with the 16 Netherite scraps to craft the 4 Netherite ingots.
- Additionally, to upgrade diamond armor to Netherite armor, you need a smithing table and Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates (found in Bastion remnants), but these do not affect the number of Netherite scraps required.
In summary:
- 16 Netherite scraps (from 16 Ancient Debris)
- 16 gold ingots
- 4 Netherite ingots (crafted from the scraps and gold)
- 4 diamond armor pieces (to upgrade)
- Smithing table and upgrade templates (for the upgrade process)
This process is consistent across Minecraft versions 1.19 and 1.20, with the 1.20 update adding the requirement for upgrade templates
