Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block Ancient debris is a rare Minecraft:ore found in Minecraft:the Nether, and is the main source of netherite scraps, which can then be used to craft netherite ingots. Its high blast resistance makes it immune to normal explosions. In item form, it floats on lava and is completely immune to any form of Minecraft:fire.

Obtaining

Breaking

Ancient debris drops itself if mined by a diamond pickaxe or netherite pickaxe. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing.

Script error: No such module "breaking row".

Natural generation

Ancient debris generates in Minecraft:the Nether in the form of scatter ores which are never naturally exposed to Minecraft:air.<ref group=note>The generation system explicitly attempts to place ancient debris where it is not exposed to air. Rarely, ancient debris can be exposed by later generation processes. It can also be exposed to fungi, or alongside smaller pockets of Minecraft:lava.</ref> They can only replace Minecraft:netherrack, Minecraft:basaltTemplate:Only, and Minecraft:blackstoneTemplate:Only.

On average, Y-level 16 has the most ancient debris.

Generation of ancient debris varies by edition.

  • in Template:Editions, up to two clusters may generate per chunk:
    • One cluster of 0–3 ancient debris attempts to generate with a triangle distribution from levels 8 to 24.
    • An additional cluster of 0–2 ancient debris attempts to generate evenly from levels 8 to 119.
  • in Template:Editions, up to five clusters may generate per chunk:
    • Two clusters of 0–3 ancient debris attempt to generate evenly from levels 8 to 23.
    • An additional three clusters of 0–2 ancient debris attempt to generate evenly from levels 8 to 119.

in Template:Editions, there is an average of 1.65 ancient debris blocks per chunk<needs testing></needs testing>, with a normal maximum of 5.<ref group="note">However, it is technically possible for up to 11 ancient debris to be found in a single chunk; adjacent chunks can generate blobs on the border with up to 2 blocks spawning in an adjacent chunk.</ref> As of Java Edition 1.16.5, on average they generate 1.56 ores per chunk. Given this number, and that there are 32768 blocks in a chunk (16×128×16), there is approximately a 0.004% chance that any randomly selected block will be an ancient debris block.

Generated loot

Ancient debris can appear in bastion chests, either as a singular item or as a stack of two items. These two options are rolled separately from each other. Script error: No such module "lootChest".

Usage

Smelting ingredient

Ancient debris can be smelted using a Minecraft:furnace or blast furnace, which gives the player netherite scrap. If a player takes out the netherite scrap, they are rewarded with 2 experience points.

Template:Smelting

Redstone component

Because of its unique combination of being both blast resistant enough to withstand Minecraft:TNT and being movable with a Minecraft:piston, ancient debris is sometimes used as a redstone component, usually in tunnel bores.

Sulfur cube

Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb ancient debris, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.

Trivia

  • The texture of the ancient debris is supposed to look like pressed metal plates.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
  • Ancient debris is actually what remains of the mining activity of the Minecraft:piglins, who extracted all the original netherite ore.<ref>

Template:Cite </ref>

  • It is possible to find blobs of up to 20 contiguous ancient debris - up to five debris can generate in a chunk, so if a blob of five generates in adjacent corners of four different chunks, a blob of 20 debris would be created.
