The REAL Way To Find Netherite In 1.20 

ToyCat is the gold standard for in-game narration: he makes it fun, he makes it clear, he makes it snappy. Of course you have to be god-like at the game to keep it like this even when doing risky stuff.

Strip mining always worked for me. I have a few large chests full of Ancient Debris in my main survival world. Usually 10k blocks get me around 2 stacks of Ancient Debris (Y15)

Not just is mans giving up to date information, they are also playing on bedrock. You are a great individual.

I love how realistic minecraft is, making it difficult to find black things in the dark!

With the end crystals, i imagine you can break the obsidian below first and then double the size of the explosion

I don't know if this is the same in Bedrock edition, but in Java, putting a block in between you and the bed will shield you from most of the damage. It does require that you build a slightly higher tunnel to put it in.

I usually go at "0,13,0" and mine in every directions, then dig a hole each sides, every 10 blocks, then I am ready for bed mining. Afterwise, I can build some Ice roads, for fast traveling. I think not being able to stack beds is the biggest disadvantage.

I tend to use tnt. But to avoid some of the lava issues I dig a long tunnel first and then blow the tnt up on the way back. This means you can look at the area after the explosion and just not deal with it if there is no debris.

Tbh, I find bed-mining to be very enjoyable - to each their own I guess. Also whenever you find some debris, I would recommend mining a bit around it to make sure you got the entire ore vein.

The beds are really great for mining. The tunnels created are great for ice highways for transportation. Once you have a creeper farm and a bunch of sand, a flying machine with tnt is much more satisfying to use and doesn't leave as big a mess

The BEST way to do it is to mine a long tunnel on a chunk border then fill it with tnt (or one block apart) you get the stuff from the mining and the tnt chain. This is best period. Not necessarily the cheapest but the most efficient. Mining on a chunk border might not be necessary but when the tnt goes off it will expose part of each chunk, which using common sense will possibly have more debris.

Yay! A let's play!! Thank you for uploading have been missing you

I personally mine y=15 along the border, and then explode a bed at another border so it's a chunk corner, I found this method is very good and I found ancient debris a lot of times

Thanks for this. Keep up the great videos. I have been watching you for a few years and never dissapointed when you put out new content.

I’m glad you said mining is still a valid way to do it. I find explosions so scary and hate dealing with them. Also (as you said) mining is just so much more fun to me because I can listen to audiobooks or toycat videos while I do it :) I’m sick of people judging me for not wanting to blow up my nether to look for ancient debris so thanks for not being one of those people. Explosions would need my full attention because I find them stressful. Plus XP is basically free and beds take up a lot of inventory space because they don’t stack. Also I hate automation in minecraft most of the time because it means I didn’t actually do the work for the thing if that makes any sense (plus redstone is mega confusing). In other words, mining is great for me (but if I’m ever exploding things in creative again sounds like end crystals are the way to go) Love your videos :)

Game Theory Ancient Debris are remnants of nether reactor cores

Thank you for this!!! I've been terrified of mining for ancient debris because I thought I had to use the bed explosion trick & it SCARES me!!! I don't even like accidently hitting a lava flow!

Totally agree with the mining idea. I just got fully netherited up mining. Collecting XP as I went and it was super-chilled. 👌

Producing fire is not a drawback at all when mining for Netherite. It keeps the area lit up and prevents ghasts from spawning.

I definitely do appreciate toycat. Yes, I have been doing a lot of ancient debris mining. I have a few worlds that I still need to get into and get that done. 2 sets of netherite armor in 2 of my worlds so far. Branch mining is less chaotic...

Ancient debris spawns the most along chunk borders. Mine a 2x2 shaft, with a chunk border between the blocks. Definitely the fastest method. You can always backtrack with TNT along your tunnels to find more later, but I find tons without needing to waste time with explosives.

Your videos are so useful i dont know what I'd do without you please take care and continue to upload❤

I find the best way to mine ancient debris is to cluster frack with about 4-6 TNT at a time down a tunnel just big enough for 1 player. Usually 15 or lower. Finds around a stack of ancient debris for 2 stacks of TNT

Thanks so much for the fire circle idea!!

I always do strip mining with speed 2 potions and sprinting. It's relatively easy to run past ancient debris without seeing it but fairly fast

I just finished mining AD because of your video that it was going to change. I have two worlds so I did it in both. 1 armor set how I like it with different protection enchantments and one with only protection enchantments and one clean. A few swords and picks and every tool and weapon clean. Times two for my multiplayer game too so it was a lot haha. In the beginning it was very stressful but now I get more AD just because it’s chill to mine. And to think that the first two months of having this game I didn’t enter any cave because I was so scared of dying 😂 ( yesterday i was finally brave enough and slayed the dragon for the first time all by myself! And I didn’t even use any netherite items out of fear I would lose it 😂) Tomorrow I’m finally going to the end cities to get an elytra and I’m very excited about that. Love your videos, keep ‘em coming!

18:49 It's also worth mentioning that if you try to mine ancient debris with anything less than a diamond pickaxe, it won't work. I've had to run back and forth between dimensions so many times because I only had an iron pickaxe with me when I went looking for it.

Thank you so much sweetie! I've learned a few things ❤

Thank you this helped so much😊

Your random inner monologues spoke to me in this video lmao. First time viewer, liked and subscribed!

Ive been using the wither to mine.. It started as a way to clear out my tunnels, but i already have 11 extra netherite suits in my survival world.

I use crystal mining there’s a way to chain it and get rid of the obsidian so u get more yield of area. Tho yea the cost isn’t great

I decided about a month ago to start a giant build project in the nether that included digging a 100 by 100 cylinder from the bedrock floor to the bedrock ceiling. Which now I realize was a terrible idea but I'm still working on it. I've got all the way from the roof down to 23 blocks down to go. So far I've filled 3 double chests with netherrack full shulker boxes, 2 shulker boxes with nethergold, 3 with netherquartz and 53 pieces of ancient debris. Some of the blocks have been lost as I have 2 shulker boxes full of wool in my bed blasting and used gold to make lots of boots to stop the piglins from attacking me. A lot of my time has been spent watching your older videos while slowly working away at this. Oh yes and I'm doing this all on my phone so digging is sometimes a bit janky.

I have 5 full sets of Netherite armor and 4 of each tool/weapon from mining at y:11. I needed this video like 3 weeks ago 😅

Tnt is the most efficient method from my experience. It chains ok if you space it out 2 blocks apart, dig a long tunnel at Y15 and then run back placing tnt then ignite when you get back to the start again. Creeper or ghast farms are pretty easy to set up, you just need a bunch of sand at that point. End crystals chain insanely well and will auto destruct for hundreds of blocks if spaced correctly(Y12 9 blocks apart) but the extra obsidian placement does make them a bit of a pain. But late game they are very satisfying to play around with. Beds work for sure, but Greg make so much mess and lots of fire causes lag on low end devices. So whilst they are fine to use early game to get your first couple of debris, I’d honestly rather strip mine for the stuff.

I find just mining long tunnels can be quite therapeutic. The only thing I would add is use a fortune 3 mending pick and mining any quartz you find which repairs your pick as you go and the bonus of getting plenty of quartz

Ancient debris also often generate not connected in anyway, so make sure to dig 3 block in every direction from the source ancient debris. I also have a ghast farm which gives me ~4K gunpowder an hour, so gunpowder isn’t an issue lol.

Awesome tutorial! Thank you! Can you please do the tutorial about netherite armor updates in 1.20?

I find explosions fun so when I go to make my mines I tend to make a 3x3 tunnel down at about y15 and do bed poke holes to the sides. Gives you a safe place from the fires and that's my favorite way to find ancient debris

As far as bedrock edition goes, because there are no giant lava pockets, strip mining is my go to. If you have mending on your pick you won't ever run out of duribility thanks to the netherquartz, and you don't need to worry about resources at all. You also don't need to deal with fire everywhere. Might be just me but it seems to take less time to use a pick than get and use beds.

Wrong about the air exposure time with mining. Every 1 block mined exposes 4 other blocks to air (in a 1 wide, 2 tall tunnel), so you would need to mine 45 blocks to get 136 exposed to air. Love your videos, keep them coming 👍

Gonna have to do a ton of netherite mining since I'm planning on making netherite armour set with every trim and every material

a very relevant video considering the upcoming update

If you're using the bed method, don't just place the bed after digging only 3 blocks, instead dig 6 blocks hole to the left and right and place the bed at the end of the hole, use shield to block any damage, with that method i can get a stack of ancient debris using only 3 shulker boxes full of beds, you can get a lot of wool by making a simple auto wool, you can build those as many as you want to get more wools but for me one is enough

As a recovered teen pyro, I really liked the way you told that story. I never got burnt, thank God, but yikes was I close.

The most effective method for was going to Y15/16 with an efficiency 2 diamond pick and mining in 2x2 tunnels along chunk borders, I found 20-ish super easily. Also if you have mending all the quartz and gold exp will fix it right up. only challenge is finding your way back but even that's not too bad if you set some landmarks

So I think beds work best for short-term, quick grinding, but TNT works better as a long-term method as you can farm both creepers and sand and while yes the farms take effort to set up once you set them up it's as easy as afking the farms to get as many resources as you need, then just making a line of TNT and blowing it up in succession.

If you are able to set up a Creeper Farm for gunpowder, then the TNT method is by far the best. Less risk of taking any dmg, not as much fire as a bed exploding, and can chain explosives every 4th block of TNT placed, and can be activated with any redstone triggers from afar. I usually Dig in a straight line till I can't go any further. Then I dig out long tunnels left and right. skipping every 2 blocks and digging straight till i can't go any further. Placing TNT in every alley, and hoping your PC doesn't explode, Watch the fire works. Literally. I make a portal inside, grab a couple of fire resist potions, at least 10 empty buckets, and some scaffolds to reach the lava-fall. with such a wide open area, you can easily pick apart the Netherite, Gold ores, and Quartz as you see fit. If you are picky like me, you can plug up some lava holes as some netherite might be buried underneath that lava.

I always bring fire resistance potions for bed mining in the Nether and also have a set of blast protection (diamond) armor for it

relaxed is the way to go for me, I don't care much for min maxing xD I just want to have fun, and my version of fun is taking things slow and chill

I do T style branch mines i mine for 100 blocks or so turn around then mine the blocks in my face for my full reach then if you get the right angle you can run along the wall and clear out the whole area downfall is lava is a bit harder to patch but if ya find lava immediately mine a block below it to prevent the flow

For me, it has to be TNT. The primary readons for getting it once you have the capacities like a creeper farm and a large desert with a good shovel, you have as much as you want AND you can stack TNT to 64. You can chain TNT while runnung down hallways with a flint and steel. With beds, sure you can have sheep farms but the wool is manual and you cant obtain it super fast, as for end crystals, its gard to farm for ghasts and you still have to gather obsidian. TNT is the way to go.

Love this video keei it up

I strip mine with tnt. You dig a 2 tall tunnel then drop a stack of tnt on your way back to the start. Ignite a chain reaction, build a 1 block bridge at 15 to help avoid and clear lava. Then move over and do parallel tunnels and the tnt will connect the tunnels which lets you easily fly around later. I went crazy and made about a dozen full sets of netherite armor and tools.

I’m just putting this out there since I don’t see anyone else talk about it. There is another faster way to get ancient debris. If you have an elytra you can drink a fire resistance potion and fly around in lava lakes. And just grab it off the ground. It also helps if you use a resource pack to remove nether fog/lava fog but its not required

got weirdly existential in that "deep thoughts while mining" segment.

I mine 500 blocks straight, then back out with beds. And do that over and over and over. I did a stack of beds once and got a stack of ancient debris in return. That was my best haul ever. Found 2 nodes of 6 each which im fairly certain is the max amount per chunk.

Bloody marvelous 👌

I found, when mining for ancient debris, that if I run into lava I will mine a block in front of me so I can get closer to the hole with little chance to catch on fire.

I never even considered end crystals 😂

I just place a single piece of obsidian or a blast resistant block in front of me when I'm at range to trigger the bed explosion. You take maybe half a heart every time and don't wear down your armor.

If you are going to mine for netherite with a pickaxe you should do it at a chunk border and do it in a 2x2 tunnel cuz of the way it spawns in chunks etc

What are you using projectile protection for? I was thinking fire for nether generally and blast for mining and wither fights. Hadn’t thought to make a projectile one…

i do a hybrid of these methods, i bring shulker boxes with me and a bunch of fire resistance potions, then just sprint in a straight line while mining like a mad mana not even looking at the screen, looking for the ancient debris only on the way back.

Title:best way to find netherite. Toycat: it's actually ancient debris, you have to craft netherite.

I wasn't expecting this to sound like an essay for a college paper, I liked it

"its one of the rarest ores by its generation" Deepslate emerald ore : am I a joke to you?

Netherrack can be instantly mined with a Stone Pickaxe (at least in Bedrock edition). Even if it isn't enchanted

Bed mining is actually really easy. Just place a block at your feet between you and the bed and you take like half a heart of damage. Also immediately look down and put out any fires and then check above for lava, and then continue

Hey toycat will I be able to delete chunks around my Minecraft world with this new world edit stuff? My world is getting way to big I need to decrease the file size

If this was anyone else's video, I wouldn't have even entertained the thought that those first two Ancient Debris were legit, but since this is Funny Internet Cat Man, I am willingly falling for it!

I don't get why mining at 15 is best but then it's a good thing that blowing a bed or TNT gives you levels above and below that. Surely a 8x8x8 hole means that 3/4 of the blocks revealed to air are at suboptimal levels. If i mine a 2x1 tunnel, then each block forward reveals 6 blocks to the air and mines two blocks, all at the optimal level. Seems a lot more efficient than fiddling around with crafting beds or TNT. With an unbreaking, mending, efficiency pickaxe you just dig, seems pretty simple to me

I find the best time to branch mine for ancient debris is when I'm making my nether hub. I gotta get to that place thousands of blocks away, well, let's go branch mine for from ancient debris in one direction for thousands of blocks.

Make a creeper farm a shuker of tnt gets about 4 stacks of debre which takes about an hour to get with a good farm. Beds are unstable and cannot be chained together. Edit end crystals are more expensive than both of them

Does blast resistance enchantment on chest or head help with the bed explosion damage?

I go for the mining method, because I love the chilled way of playing Minecraft and it gives me more time to talk about more or less interesting stuff to my few viewers. ;)

once found a debris over Y100 also another down side of bed is cant stack them... in order to bring 64 beds, need to bring 3 stacks each of wool and planks and a crafting table

To be clear, you actually increase your chances of finding ancient debris by focusing your searches UNDER the lava ocean where there are the least blocks between the ocean and the ceiling. Ancient debris can't have air contact meaning that it must spawn either above the ceiling or under the lava ocean. Fire resistance potions are highly recommended because sometimes to need to take a warm dip. Pick chunks with huge chasms in between the ceiling and ocean. Note that you can see which biome you are in (in java) and if you are in a crimson forest Hoglins will spawn in your Mines. Oh and avoid basalt wastes because the blocks there are more blast resistant.

A helpful tip would be to have mending on your pickaxe should you mine. Then you can repair it every time you run across some nether quartz!

I really wish I could find a Soul Sand Valley in my survival worlds. I've created four of them and still so far no luck finding the Soul Sand Valley so I can get the hot tourist destination that you've been completed

I feel like using fire resistance on bed mining is a waste when on bedrock 7 levels of fire protection means you instantly go out If you catch fire.

Friends got me into minecraft right when they were getting into enchanting table and diamond equipment for everyone. Found a bed netherite guide, and there is a large section of the nether that is nothing but hellscape caverns 😂

Does your view on mining gravel and tuff differ when diamond mining? Deep slate is so slow and annoying to mine I do it for diamonds.

hey dude could u make a version of your lets play world for bedrock with like some op tools ? thatd be awesome

Turn that flint into emeralds! You can sell it to villagers (ie fletcher or smiths).

I appreciate the couplets rhymed, While watching the the cat-man as he mined

Mostly I'll dig in a straight line. Beds are messy, and I don't like wasting gunpowder on tnt. Plus, when you open-up large areas, it gives mobs room to spawn. Nothing more annoying than accidentally looking at an Enderman that you couldn't see through the fire. It's not that I don't use beds or tnt at all. Sometimes I will use them to open things up on my way back to my portal if I'm in the mood to do so. I've also stopped using chests in the Nether, and have gone to storing things in Droppers instead.

I absolutely love the bed method. It's saved me countless hours.

I found mining at y-15 along a chunk border works really well

After making a 2x1 tunnel that runs for a while I will insta-mine it's sides (top block only) while quickly running back to the start of the tunnel, mining deep on one side then returning on the other also making a deep mine cut (forming a T shape mineshaft , but the top goes much wider). I feel this exposed a lot more blocks then the 2x1 per unit time.

Efficiency V pick always gets me all the ancient debris I need within 2 hours

I find ancient debris far faster by lining up a dozen tnt and blowing it all up at once. A mob farm is easy to build and it doesn't take long to get a bunch of gunpowder.

You also come across huge caves with ghasts in them. Also after the caves and cliffs update black stone has been underrated ever since.

Pro tip, take all the materials to make beds with you, fit much more in your inventory

As a scientist I SO deeply appreciate the data presented here 😍

The method that's worked best for me is to mine a tunnel on a chunk border and put tnt every 3 or so blocks to quickly explode a massive area.

Find the edge of a chunk and drig in a 3x3 tunnel along y-15. My entire realm is stacked in netherite doing it like that

TNT is lovely because no 🔥 just build a 1 block bridge parallel to the top of your tnt tunnel that you’ve blown up and fill in the lava and get all the ancient debris as you go that you’re able then just run back home on the floor and if you go 500 blocks you’ve covered all your tools and armor and probably some other stuff (hope we can trade maybe 10 netherite and so many emeralds for a horse armor.

I'm not really into the bed mining thing. The explosions can just harm you, the fire is very annoying, even with fire resistance, the uneven terrain is a nuisance, ores fall into the fire and are destroyed and beds are not stackable, so you either have to make them over and over or go around with shulker boxer or whatever. You can expose lava pockets or underground caves with mobs (especially hoglins are annoying). If you have a ridiculous amount of ghast tears for some odd reason then I think end crystal mining can be preferable. TNT mining is not that good an idea, except if you have a bunch of TNT from desert temples and don't know what to do with them. Gun powder better be saved for rockets for your elytra. The benefit of good old tunnels is also you make an underground way to other locations at the same time, can expand that eventually in a nether hub. And meanwhile you get blackstone, gold and quartz and (of course) XP. Still be aware of lava pockets though. And with the particle effects you can see which biome you are under (so if you see dark blue you know you can hunt for ender pearls if you go up).
