Pro Tip: while mining along the chunk borders make sure to have a mending pickaxe with unbreaking III and mine all the gold ores and the quarz you find, you'll end up with more durability then you had at the start of the mining session.
Yup! Usually at the start of a SMP I usually focus on getting efficiency 2, unbreaking 3/2 and a mending pick. Efficiency 2 and over guarantees instant netherack mining. I usually get unbreaking 3/2 and mending from villagers. While mining I get the quartz and gold ore for xp and that's how I get enough xp for god armour.
I used the strategy yesterday, no spin offs no differences. The exact strategy. I found 67 ancient debris in just over ONE HOUR.. Incredible stuff man.
In Bedrock, just turn on your coordinates and divide x and z by 16, round to the nearest integer, and multiply by 16 again. The chunk borders are always at a multiple of 16, so finding the next one is as easy as adding or subtracting 16.
@@somedudeontheinternet9526 Okay, you're at 500, 15, -30. 500/16=31.25, round to 31. 31x16=496. -30/16=-1.875, round to -2. -2x16=-32. The nearest chunk borders are between 495 and 496 x, and between -32 and -33 z (the more negative edge of the block, but precision doesn't really matter here). So if you mine along 496 x, starting at -32 z and going towards positive z, the next borders would be at -16, 0, and 16.
For the damage received by the explosion can be completely negated if you have a shield and activate the bed with an empty hand. Plus its handy to always have a shield, especially in the nether.
@@shawngord8813 I think it's like 7-9 nuggets with fortune. I may be completely wrong with that, but I'm pretty sure its better to silk touch it instead. Especially if you're coming across a lot of gold!
@@shadow_lag_ with Fortune 3 you can get up to 24 nuggets per ore (you get 2-6 normally and Fortune 3 gives you 20% chance to multiply it by 2, 3 or 4, average golden nuggets being 8.8)
I combined the bed method with the chunk border method, dug a long tunnel along one chunk border and then dig out and explode beds at every chunk border that crosses the tunnel I dug. It ended up being incredibly fast. You do miss revealing a few blocks between the explosions this way but I got full netherite tools and armor quicker than I have ever before.
Thats a good mix of the two, I do believe that strip mining the chunk borders is technically faster but it needs so much tool durability combining the two methods is not a bad idea :)
For me, I always just went to Y=15 and started making tunnels by blasting beds. My friend and I got all the necessary Netherite for all tools and armor in just 2 days. Wood and wool is super easy to come across, where as TNT pretty much requires a creeper farm.
19:27 You can also use an anvil to name the compass if you have multiple ones to easily pick the correct one. Base, Mob Farm, etc. Just as long as you don't accidentally click another lodestone (or have other players do so on in multiplayer if sharing compasses).
Dude, you literally made my day. I was frustrated because I can't find much ancient debris using the TNT method and it's quite tedious to craft and just wait in the creeper farm. I used the method where you dig 4x4 on the chunk borders and I found way more ancient debris than usual. I appreciate all the information you've put into this.
As a note, late game you don't really need the fire protection. With full protection netherite armor, you can just outheal the lava. Netherite doesn't take damage from fire or lava either, so as long as you have food, you can stay in lava indefinitely.
This is definitely helpful! I recently had a wither fight in the nether underground at about Y20, while The wither is making a big hole 🕳 I could see all the ancient debris all around me, even some blocks of it on the floor because the wither was rushing me and breaking down blocks , so my plan worked, but I had to act quick or this could go downhill very fast.!! Definitely a fun thing to do but very risky. Would recommend if you’re trying to have fun but you must prepare for the worst.
Just want to say that as a new player who is really getting into the game for the first time in 2023, these guides are incredibly helpful and I would be even more lost than I already am without them, although I am slowly figuring it out with your help. Really appreciate your content dude, keep up the good work!
Basalt deltas may be the worst to dig for ancient debris, but it is by far my favorite nether biome. The gieger counter sfx and gray particles give it an atmosphere of dread in what is essentially the closest thing in the game to mount doom.
Im really surprised that someone loves that biome. Imo, it´s by far the worst Minecraft biome in the game. Completely dull and gray, there is nothing special about it except the basalt block, which it´s ugly, slow to break and difficult to obtain, because of all the lava and cliffs surronding it. Traversing the biome it´s very frustating, lava pools and great heights everywhere, it´s certain death. Plus neither fortresses nor bastions can spawn. The only good thing about it´s blackstone, which is a really cool block (only for decoration tho), but it isn´t worth it, since it also spawns at Bastions. I wouldn´t mind at all if Mojang decides to remove it
I like to mine for ancient debris with a texture pack that changes the texture of the debris alone to a bright blue. It makes it sooo much more visible against the red
For a safer way to mine in Bedrock Edition, you can make the door types warped or crimson so they can't catch on fire. The reason why for this is because in Bedrock edition, doors CAN burn! 10:43
I feel like the tnt method just isn’t getting enough credit here. While it’s BY FAR the most expensive mining method, it’s also pretty efficient, you simply dig a very long tunnel(a couple hundred blocks) as if you were strip mining, once you feel you’ve gone far enough, backtrack to the start placing a tnt block every 3 blocks. Once you get back to the start, light one piece and the whole tunnel blows, then you simply walk back down it and mine any exposed Netherite. You’re able to cover very long and wide areas with method, similar to using beds, but you don’t have to deal with everything being lit on fire and don’t have to repeat a tedious process every time you want an explosion, while also leaving a cleaner tunnel to explore afterwards(though you do still have to deal with occasional lava floods). There’s the obvious point that this is very expense, and I don’t recommend it early game, but if you have a good auto-mob farm built then getting stacks of gunpowder is a sinch, and with a decent shovel you can fill a shulker box with sand in under 5 minutes. If you have the resources, then tnt farming isn’t nearly as un-reasonable as Eyecraft makes it seem. I still won’t say it’s easily better than strip mining because it is expensive and takes the effort of crafting all the tnt, but not even giving it a spot in the video isn’t very fair, it’s the method many people have used for mass Netherite farming, such as the person who made a max size beacon out of only Netherite, and is the same method I used to get 7 full sets of Netherite armor and equipment for me and my friends on our survival multiplayer server. In short, yes, tnt farming is very viable
Yeah I agree. I was surprised at how good this method is. It is better than beds for sure but I still think tnt is the best if you have great acess to sand and gunpowder.
@@ngotranhoanhson5987 no. there is another one. Hidden from view. Hidden from all. Kept in secret, know only to the elite few. Ridiculusly op, but demanding knowledge. Tunnel bore.
As an avid fan of Blaze and Cave's Advancement Pack, this video is a lifesaver! One of the advancements is to collect a stack of lodestones and another is to break every tool and armor piece (including Netherite); this will get me all that debris in no time! Besides, it's a good way of passing the time during the advancement for staying in the nether for 20 in-game days, lol
The second option can be improved a bit: build yourself a pocked with autosmelter and load it with lava buckets (which is common fuel in Nether) and smelt gold and bricks in place. What's good in this: you can repair your tools with furnaces and get back to action.
I would recommend only having one long tunnel on the chunk border. Works well for finding fortresses, Bastion Remnants, and new biomes if you dig your way up to the surface every few hundred blocks.
Wow this is unbelievable, Eyecraft has to be one of the most if not the most underrated Minecraft RUclipsr. Not only does he give easy and useful information, but he is very entertaining. Thank you Eyecraft for the content you create!
I appreciate the tip about bringing the raw materials for beds. I *knew* that but never really thought about that in practice. Shulker boxes are even more helpful with that tip! Thanks.
I was trying to do some research on netherite mining (bed vs. Strip) and there was nothing really authoritative on which one was better, not even on the wiki. Every other guide just arbitrarily says one method is better because they "like it more" or "had better luck with it" or something like that. I like how you actually used data and gave percentages of the relative efficiency of each method so I'm not playing a guessing game with it. Super great guide, way better than all the others. Thank you for this!!
I do want to add that whenever I mine for ancient debris I use straight mining, beds, and every once in awhile when I come across a lava lake, I'll drink a fire resistance potion and swim through it, I actually found most of my ancient debris mining it out of lava lakes with fire resistance potions, it feels slow swimming through the lava but, being able to see such a wide open area makes it easy to identify the debris quickly and go straight to it
I am definitely satisfied with the chunk border method, I found like 35 ancient debris in 40 min. I just start randomly mining tunnels along the borders and when you encounter a big pool of lava just mine to the left or right (in my first try i forgot to bring a shovel so i had to avoid gravel as well). If you use a mending pickaxe, when you start losing durability, just mine some quartz to heal your pickaxe, and when you come back to your base, mine new tunnels instead of going through already explored ones. Lastly, you can use the tunnels to build ice highways with portals and travel quick through your world
If you find a single piece of netherite in your tunnels, mine the blocks around it as there are likely more netherite blocks around it. There were two he found at 18:17 that would have been found earlier had he mined more blocks around them.
Oh my.. I tried the bed mining method, and it's the best! I done this type of mining for an hour, and i got 3 full netherite sets of armor and tools for myself and friends! Thank you so much EyeCraftMC! (Good thing that you talk in a what's so called "Easy language", it just means that you don't over complicate things 👍)
Here's a tip when I'm mining in Bedrock edition (I don't know if it works in java), but in ur tunnel create branches that are seven blocks long, place a bed on the end, and the six block from the wall a harder block such as cobbled deepslate. or Blackstone. Then crouch behind that block, and slowly move forward spam clicking. u don't take any damage if this is done correctly.
this is the minecraft youtuber the world needed. He explains everything in detail and doesn't leave any information out. Everything at netherite is in this video, amazing!
also quick tip for fires: if you can get a bucket of powdered snow, that'll work as water and will actually work in the nether (unless I'm wrong lol) edit: I'd also like to add that as long as at least one piece of armour is gold, piglins will be neutral, it doesn't have to be a helmet. :] I looked it up bc I wanted to just wear my gold boots (found them in a bastion remnant, they came w a few enchantments and I added more including mending, I've named them Yeezys lmao) edit 2: I double checked the snow thing, it will work just as good as water and stops fall damage so you can do a snow clutch! :D v pog if you're like me and constantly falling (or on fire)
You are literally the most underrated Minecraft youtuber. I can't believe I JUST found your channel a couple days ago. Awesome non-gimmicky tips, well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!
I have discovered a 3rd way of hunting for Netherite while making a under-Lava base after watching eyecraftmc's scaffolding video. (If it has been discovered I haven't heard people talk about it) I'm playing on the Switch and idk if it's unique to bedrock version. Also might work with finding diamonds just be careful when mining them. Requires Fire Resist potions, (temp. Block) dirt/netherrack, and trapdoors. 1. Find a lava ocean and drink potion 2. Scan the ocean floor by bobbing through the surface texture or by using trapdoors to displace the lava and looking through those textures (lava-logged isn't a thing and it doesn't burn away) 3. Once located simply mine the Ancient Debris, since lava doesn't destroy it, so it's safe I recommend building a short pillar (better view), placing a trapdoor on top, and removing two blocks just below the door so you can stand and look for debris. Also the two main things that will fight you in the lava are magma cubes and piglins, ghasts may shoot as well. Also you mine at regular speed under the lava and depth strider doesn't speed up lava walking. Hope this helps :) Make a video on this if you want :)
I love how calm their voice is. It is not only pleasant and soothing, but it makes lines like "if you run into some piglins, you won't be killed by them" surprisingly funny.
It's actually crazy that he just changed the title and description to match the new version but didn't add the most important addition in this update to netherite upgrades...
Bro I saw that subscriber watch time being below 1% and i immediately subbed, this is only my second video from you but you definitely deserve more than what your getting rn with all the effort you put in.
It makes me sad that thousands of people watch your vids and don't subscribe, I just found you the other day and I subscribed just because what you said in a video was useful and I appreciated it. I hope you get more subscribers someday and grow your channel :)
Hey, I think I maybe know an interesting and maybe faster way to mine: It's splittet into two parts: 1. sprint-strip-mining (parallel lines could be hundreds of blocks long but they have to be at least 11 blocks apart for full efficiency) 2. rush sideways e.g. the left side on one way und the right side coming back. This way you are able to constantly instamine revealing >2 blocks every block break (>40 block reveals per second (!)) I recommend filling lava pockets immediately or digging holes for it to not to flow to you. If you aren't well armored you probably should have gaps or potions with you. Just in case Edit: no sauce because I invented it myself, although I'm probably not the only person on this planet
you're one of the most underrated Minecraft RUclipsr's i've seen. i've been binge watching/listening to your vids while doing schoolwork and it's honestly helped me out so much when i go back into Minecraft after all my schoolwork is done and i can apply these tips instantly
In Bedrock Edition you can find chunk boarders using the leaves method! •Place 18-20 leaves blocks in a row North to South! •Stagger your next row and place 18-20 leaves blocks East to West in a cross shape through the row going North to South! •Go to video settings and turn off Fancy Leaves! •Place a block at the end of a row to update the leaves blocks! (The leaves that didn't change is the outside boarder of the one you are updating!) •Place a solid block next to the leaves block that didn't change to mark the boarder! (This will update the outside chunk!) •Find the leaves block that didn't change in the opposite row and mark with solid block next to the leaves block that did change! (You should then be standing in a complete updated chunk without Fancy Leaves!) •Converge onto the corners by linking both solid blocks! •In both directions from the corner (including the corner block) count by 16 blocks and place a solid block on the 16th spot! •Connect the remaining side's by counting (including the 16th spot) by another 16 blocks and mark that spot with a solid block! (You should then have all 4 corners of a 16x16 block radius!) •Mark the inside perimeter of that chunk (16x16 square) with solid blocks! Your then ready to count your blocks by 16 to mine your tunnels on the chunk boarders! If there's any confusion here please just watch a tutorial, there are plenty explaining the "Leaves Method" to find chunk borders! I'm a BE player and I would very much like to see both Java and BE equal but we gotta do with what we have! Awesome tutorial, I can't wait to mine a ton of Ancient Debris next time I get a chance to play!
for really end game mining, combine the methods. mine around chunk border, for around 200 blocks at a time, than fill it up with TNT, and nuke a passage way for yourself, you will get TONS of ore. just be careful about tnt bouncing back into you, place some hard blocks in the enterance, and also find a way to get rid of lava because you are 100% going to find a couple of nether lakes by nuking the amount of blocks you do.
My preferred method is a bit of a combo of both you showed. I dig a long tunnel along a chunk border. When I decide it is long enough I slap down a bed, step back two blocks, slap down a cobblestone block, and wack the bed. Then back into the tunnel and slap down another bed in your tunnel on y12 as far along your tunnel as you can. I like this because you get the benefit of the two explosions, you don't have to mess around counting blocks, you don't have to build. You just dig a long tunnel and work backwards to where you started blowing up beds as you go. You can get really fast.
Early game, I used beds, got just enough for my armor and 1 pickaxe. Took a few hours. Short time later, I found a bastion with a netherite ingot, so I then had 2 pickaxes. Late game, I went to the basalt delta to gather basalt with those 2 efficiency V unbreaking III, fortune III, mending netherite pickaxes, mined at y15 just in case I found debris. Lo and behold, by the time I got 3 shulker boxes of basalt, I had found 12 more debris. In everyone's least favorite biome. Early game, the beds are stressful and time consuming as the lava is a real problem. Late game? Mining with the pickaxes is no big deal, at all. Next up, I will use the chunk borders as you suggest. I want lodestones, after all. Thanks for the tips.
I did this as soon as I finished watching this video and let me tell you this is the most incredible guide I have ever done. I have a lot of time for Minecraft so I spent about 3 and a half hours mining. I got 174 ancient debris thank you so much for this ultimate guide 🙂
Those 2 Ancient Debree he found at 18:20 were actually a part of the Ancient Debree he found earlier except they were hidden under the netherack, goes to show you should mine around Ancient Debree whenever you find it
I just used a diamond Pickaxe. Efficiency 4, mending, unbreaking 3, fortune 3. Mine 4-6 blocks wide as fast as possible. Harvest ALL the quartz and gold to repair the pickaxe. I got 44 ancient debris in 1 hour at 0, -15, ~. Also left with a fully repaired pickaxe and 6 stacks of gold ingots. This was bedrock btw.
I know this is a year late, but for bedrock users if you would like to find a chunk border walk until either your X or Z coordinates are divisible by 16. If both X and Z are divisible by 16, you're at the north-west corner of the chunk. Super helpful tip that I found online that allowed me to get some ancient debris quick!
I love how I know everything he is saying but there's something about that quality of the video that makes me fully watch them. Good work men, really been enjoying all of your content.
Another little fun fact about netherite equipment is that it has a higher enchantability than diamond, only second to gold. Meaning you have a higher chance of getting extra enchants in one go than you would with diamond.
Ultimate Minecraft 1.20 Guide? Such a guide would include infos on the smithing template and where / how to find treasure bastions, don't you think so...
Another thing to note about basalt deltas, lava pockets spawn everwhere underground in them and actually takes up most of the space ancient debris could have spawned therefore decreasing the density despite it being the most dangerous biome to mine under, also warped and crimson forests are the easiest ways to access the y levels you want to mine ancient debris at. In terms of bedrock methods, there are actually better ones than the methods you used here, both methods (I will be discluding the bed ones cause I despise them) will go off the same concept one being for more efficient and the other being more thorough. Method 1 "peek mining" so for starters, i would say mine at y 17, I find more ancient debris at y 17 personally. dig a 2 by 1 tunnel in a long stretch of probably like 30-60 blocks, then from there go back through and on both sides mine out the blocks at level to your head out to your max vision (5 blocks) and do that along your whole tunnel, then to turn just mine 5 blocks distance in your turning direction then mine a one block 2 by 1, then mine 5 blocks again, mine the foot level ones and then another 2 by 1, make that 2 by 1 parallel to your starting 2 by 1 tunnel for max efficiency and then repeat the process of opening the area up by mining everything. Method 2, "the thorough long hard way" repeat all steps of Method one but start at probably y 19 ish, then once you've mined out a decent amount of area that you can see, dig down one, two, and three blocks, and start a new tunnel directly underneath your starting tunnel, you should still have a ceiling in the new tunnel, and keep doing that all the way down to I'd say like y 9 for max thoroughness but y 12 or so is a good stopping point. These methods work best with efficiency of at least 2 or 3 and you should definitely have mending and unbreaking 3, you will be exposing insane amounts of nether quartz in the process and it is even pretty safe as you will have a large amount of netherrack to block of lava and you won't be generating hellish amounts of fire just by existing. If this is too confusing feel free to ask for clarifications and I will try to explain it better, in the end you should get stacking layers of completely empty 1 block tall spaces that stretch on as far as your render distance can go and beyond, it will be easy to get lost though so place a block of your choice that stands out and hope to God your navigational skills work or else you are screwed
thank you so much, I started replaying minecraft recently after not having played for many years, your videos are clear and straight to the point, no nonsense. I just got 7 ancient debries thanks to you !
Dude you are the only set of helpful tutorials I found, and I keep finding yours for everything I need to do! Thank you and please keep it up! It's very helpful!
pretty sure this video is not the "1.20" netherite guide if it was posted 2 years ago... you're missing the netherite upgrade templates if this is "1.20"
I love this,not only did he show the best ways to mine,he did them in order showed the best place to do it and why and showed how to use the netherite and make the armor AND showed how to make the smithing table you need to make the Armour and tools i was so impressed by how well he explained things for those who might not know how to make certain things i had to subscribe
That's true, for me personally I find they're more expensive (specifically the gunpowder) and produce a smaller area. Plus there's the durability on your flint and steel. But it is definitely more space effecient.
TNT is faster and much less tedious than bed mining. Lots of good farms on YT to give you the gunpowder you need. Use TNT along the chunk borders for max effectiveness
Pro tip for bed method: Always put out the fire (punch it) because ancient debris CAN catch on fire. There have been many times where I have punched out some fire, revealing ancient debris.
There have been texture packs for years, for bedrock, that can do things like: show you chunk borders, show you entities through walls, light up the darkness, make the ocean see-through, ore finders, ect
I play a survival world on seed zero no glitches with the goal of getting all achievements. I don’t dupe items, or anything like zero tick that feels cheaty to me, but I do go to my seed in a separate creative world to find spawners. I also will gladly use whatever chunkbase offers to bedrock.
1.20 is out for barely a month. Yet this video is currently 1+ year old. Seems like you just edited the title with the new update. And because of that, dislike.
As you tunnel, place a torch on the left. This way, when you want to leave, your torches will be on your right. This method will ensure you never get lost or have to record coordinates.
I prefer tnt then beds. Exploding bed make a lot fire you have to put out to see everything. Where as tnt has smaller explosions, but a lot less clean up once it is done.
on bedrock you can also divide the coordinates by 16 and if the outcome is a real number you are at the chunck border. this way you are on the lower side of the chunck border. also: if you use cobblestone in front of youself to block the bed explosion you will loose less hp.
Here is a tip for finding more gold. If you mine the gold ores from the nether with a silk touch pickaxe you can smelt them and have one golden ingot per one ore. I'm saying this cuz i think that not everyone know that.
I am the type of person that could get 3-4 ancient debris for like a few hours of border mining, so I gave up efficiency in exchange for stability and invented (at least I never heard of someone doing so) chunk mining method. For this I didn't mean just mining out the chunk at the y-level of 14. I meant mining out the areas where the ancient debris will spawn, which is y-level of 8 to 22, which in theory should guarantee at least one blob of ancient debris per chunk. To waste less durability, it's better to do it like mining out several floors, which has a "lowest floor" at y-coordinate of 9, "highest floor" at y-coordinate of 20, two blocks separation for each "floors" and stop mining once the ancient debris is found in that chunk. Hope it could help unfortunate people like me :D
Pro Tip: while mining along the chunk borders make sure to have a mending pickaxe with unbreaking III and mine all the gold ores and the quarz you find, you'll end up with more durability then you had at the start of the mining session.
Yes! Mining the ores with a mending pickaxe definitely will make it last as long as you need.
I ussualy mine the gold ores and netherite then after my pickaxe is getting a bit low i go back and break all the quartz
Yup! Usually at the start of a SMP I usually focus on getting efficiency 2, unbreaking 3/2 and a mending pick. Efficiency 2 and over guarantees instant netherack mining. I usually get unbreaking 3/2 and mending from villagers. While mining I get the quartz and gold ore for xp and that's how I get enough xp for god armour.
I did not know this and I had to get out of my mine with a low durability Netherite pickaxe.
Also not the silk touch
I used the strategy yesterday, no spin offs no differences. The exact strategy. I found 67 ancient debris in just over ONE HOUR.. Incredible stuff man.
Wow! Glad I could help!
need some help holding the ancient debri?
So you got enough debris for 16 ingots (3 spare scrap)- that's for armour, one of each tool + an extra pick…
And 4 spare?
Mind if I 'borrow' an ingot?
You can make some lodestones then! They are very useful.
the chunk border or bed method?
In Bedrock, just turn on your coordinates and divide x and z by 16, round to the nearest integer, and multiply by 16 again. The chunk borders are always at a multiple of 16, so finding the next one is as easy as adding or subtracting 16.
Could you give an example please
@@somedudeontheinternet9526 Okay, you're at 500, 15, -30.
500/16=31.25, round to 31.
31x16=496.
-30/16=-1.875, round to -2.
-2x16=-32.
The nearest chunk borders are between 495 and 496 x, and between -32 and -33 z (the more negative edge of the block, but precision doesn't really matter here).
So if you mine along 496 x, starting at -32 z and going towards positive z, the next borders would be at -16, 0, and 16.

Only one Ingot though? I think you would get more by using fortune 3?
@@shawngord8813 I think it's like 7-9 nuggets with fortune. I may be completely wrong with that, but I'm pretty sure its better to silk touch it instead. Especially if you're coming across a lot of gold!

Remember to always dig around the ancient debris, as it isn't always directly connected. Sometimes they can be 2 or 3 blocks apart from each other
Almost every single time i did it i got 1 to 5 extra debris
What version?
Indeed. He also mentions this in the video.
@@ziippy- Netherite is only in 1.16 and above. This generation applies to all the versions it is in.
@@MyUsersDark oh sorry I think I commented on the wrong comment bc this is something I already knew but thanks anyway
I combined the bed method with the chunk border method, dug a long tunnel along one chunk border and then dig out and explode beds at every chunk border that crosses the tunnel I dug. It ended up being incredibly fast. You do miss revealing a few blocks between the explosions this way but I got full netherite tools and armor quicker than I have ever before.
Thats a good mix of the two, I do believe that strip mining the chunk borders is technically faster but it needs so much tool durability combining the two methods is not a bad idea :)
Holy shizno. Thanks my dude.
You could also use end crystals
if you have a couple people it makes it easier to stop the lava flows after exploding beds
damn! that's a killer combo!
For me, I always just went to Y=15 and started making tunnels by blasting beds. My friend and I got all the necessary Netherite for all tools and armor in just 2 days. Wood and wool is super easy to come across, where as TNT pretty much requires a creeper farm.
Most people have a creeper farm
But I agree
i never expect this. ty bro
You'd definitely like zylenox's netherite hunter video. He managed to get full netherite and diamond tools in a LOT less than 2 hours consistently
TNT is way better because you can stack it and it doesnt fire blocks, but everybody mine how they want
19:27 You can also use an anvil to name the compass if you have multiple ones to easily pick the correct one. Base, Mob Farm, etc. Just as long as you don't accidentally click another lodestone (or have other players do so on in multiplayer if sharing compasses).
I wonder if this would also be helpful for people who are color blind.
It's probably a good idea to keep the lodestone covered somehow to avoid that particular annoyance. Maybe behind iron fence?

I like the long tunnels made by all the explosions with a path at level 14 all the way through the middle.

Dude, you literally made my day. I was frustrated because I can't find much ancient debris using the TNT method and it's quite tedious to craft and just wait in the creeper farm. I used the method where you dig 4x4 on the chunk borders and I found way more ancient debris than usual. I appreciate all the information you've put into this.
As a note, late game you don't really need the fire protection. With full protection netherite armor, you can just outheal the lava. Netherite doesn't take damage from fire or lava either, so as long as you have food, you can stay in lava indefinitely.
For anyone watching this only works on java, on bedrock your heal speed is too low and you'll die eventually
tip: if you ever find a bastion make sure to loot the chests, especially the one at the bottom (they give around 3 ancient debris per bastion)
This is definitely helpful! I recently had a wither fight in the nether underground at about Y20, while The wither is making a big hole 🕳 I could see all the ancient debris all around me, even some blocks of it on the floor because the wither was rushing me and breaking down blocks , so my plan worked, but I had to act quick or this could go downhill very fast.!! Definitely a fun thing to do but very risky. Would recommend if you’re trying to have fun but you must prepare for the worst.
That's a really fun challenge idea!
now that's the best method to find netherite, we have a genius here
@@AfterTom fr
Just want to say that as a new player who is really getting into the game for the first time in 2023, these guides are incredibly helpful and I would be even more lost than I already am without them, although I am slowly figuring it out with your help. Really appreciate your content dude, keep up the good work!
They're good for those of us returning to the game after 1.18 as well. Mojang has been really busy these last few years.
Basalt deltas may be the worst to dig for ancient debris, but it is by far my favorite nether biome. The gieger counter sfx and gray particles give it an atmosphere of dread in what is essentially the closest thing in the game to mount doom.
When I find a good basalt delta, I'm gonna build the sickets basalt castle intertwined with the natural generation, I think its gonna be sick
Im really surprised that someone loves that biome. Imo, it´s by far the worst Minecraft biome in the game. Completely dull and gray, there is nothing special about it except the basalt block, which it´s ugly, slow to break and difficult to obtain, because of all the lava and cliffs surronding it. Traversing the biome it´s very frustating, lava pools and great heights everywhere, it´s certain death. Plus neither fortresses nor bastions can spawn. The only good thing about it´s blackstone, which is a really cool block (only for decoration tho), but it isn´t worth it, since it also spawns at Bastions. I wouldn´t mind at all if Mojang decides to remove it

I like to mine for ancient debris with a texture pack that changes the texture of the debris alone to a bright blue. It makes it sooo much more visible against the red
For a safer way to mine in Bedrock Edition, you can make the door types warped or crimson so they can't catch on fire. The reason why for this is because in Bedrock edition, doors CAN burn! 10:43
I feel like the tnt method just isn’t getting enough credit here. While it’s BY FAR the most expensive mining method, it’s also pretty efficient, you simply dig a very long tunnel(a couple hundred blocks) as if you were strip mining, once you feel you’ve gone far enough, backtrack to the start placing a tnt block every 3 blocks. Once you get back to the start, light one piece and the whole tunnel blows, then you simply walk back down it and mine any exposed Netherite. You’re able to cover very long and wide areas with method, similar to using beds, but you don’t have to deal with everything being lit on fire and don’t have to repeat a tedious process every time you want an explosion, while also leaving a cleaner tunnel to explore afterwards(though you do still have to deal with occasional lava floods).
There’s the obvious point that this is very expense, and I don’t recommend it early game, but if you have a good auto-mob farm built then getting stacks of gunpowder is a sinch, and with a decent shovel you can fill a shulker box with sand in under 5 minutes. If you have the resources, then tnt farming isn’t nearly as un-reasonable as Eyecraft makes it seem. I still won’t say it’s easily better than strip mining because it is expensive and takes the effort of crafting all the tnt, but not even giving it a spot in the video isn’t very fair, it’s the method many people have used for mass Netherite farming, such as the person who made a max size beacon out of only Netherite, and is the same method I used to get 7 full sets of Netherite armor and equipment for me and my friends on our survival multiplayer server. In short, yes, tnt farming is very viable
Was thinking this as well. I use this method too and it is way more efficient than just strip-mining or using beds
Yeah I agree. I was surprised at how good this method is. It is better than beds for sure but I still think tnt is the best if you have great acess to sand and gunpowder.
well, it is unarguably the most efficient method.
Too bad you can't dupe sand anymore ...
@@ngotranhoanhson5987 no. there is another one. Hidden from view. Hidden from all. Kept in secret, know only to the elite few. Ridiculusly op, but demanding knowledge.
Tunnel bore.
As an avid fan of Blaze and Cave's Advancement Pack, this video is a lifesaver! One of the advancements is to collect a stack of lodestones and another is to break every tool and armor piece (including Netherite); this will get me all that debris in no time! Besides, it's a good way of passing the time during the advancement for staying in the nether for 20 in-game days, lol
The second option can be improved a bit: build yourself a pocked with autosmelter and load it with lava buckets (which is common fuel in Nether) and smelt gold and bricks in place. What's good in this: you can repair your tools with furnaces and get back to action.
I would recommend only having one long tunnel on the chunk border. Works well for finding fortresses, Bastion Remnants, and new biomes if you dig your way up to the surface every few hundred blocks.
Smart
Wow this is unbelievable, Eyecraft has to be one of the most if not the most underrated Minecraft RUclipsr. Not only does he give easy and useful information, but he is very entertaining. Thank you Eyecraft for the content you create!
Your So Welcome! Glad you like it!
I appreciate the tip about bringing the raw materials for beds. I *knew* that but never really thought about that in practice. Shulker boxes are even more helpful with that tip! Thanks.
If you're on bedrock
Turn on coords,
If your x coord and z coord are both divisible by 16 you're in a chunks northwest corner.
I hope your channel grows, you really do deserve it! Your editing, your information, it's all awesome. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that :)
I was trying to do some research on netherite mining (bed vs. Strip) and there was nothing really authoritative on which one was better, not even on the wiki. Every other guide just arbitrarily says one method is better because they "like it more" or "had better luck with it" or something like that. I like how you actually used data and gave percentages of the relative efficiency of each method so I'm not playing a guessing game with it. Super great guide, way better than all the others. Thank you for this!!
No Problem! :)
I do want to add that whenever I mine for ancient debris I use straight mining, beds, and every once in awhile when I come across a lava lake, I'll drink a fire resistance potion and swim through it, I actually found most of my ancient debris mining it out of lava lakes with fire resistance potions, it feels slow swimming through the lava but, being able to see such a wide open area makes it easy to identify the debris quickly and go straight to it
I was going to go to get netherite just now and decided to go to yt for tips. Your video just posted in time to save me a few hours! Thanks!
No Problem!
I am definitely satisfied with the chunk border method, I found like 35 ancient debris in 40 min. I just start randomly mining tunnels along the borders and when you encounter a big pool of lava just mine to the left or right (in my first try i forgot to bring a shovel so i had to avoid gravel as well). If you use a mending pickaxe, when you start losing durability, just mine some quartz to heal your pickaxe, and when you come back to your base, mine new tunnels instead of going through already explored ones. Lastly, you can use the tunnels to build ice highways with portals and travel quick through your world
Last method is better. I am gonna try that method when I will go to mine Netherite, Amazing video!
This is one the best thorough but not overbearing tutorials I've seen, thank you so much!
If you find a single piece of netherite in your tunnels, mine the blocks around it as there are likely more netherite blocks around it. There were two he found at 18:17 that would have been found earlier had he mined more blocks around them.
Oh my.. I tried the bed mining method, and it's the best! I done this type of mining for an hour, and i got 3 full netherite sets of armor and tools for myself and friends! Thank you so much EyeCraftMC! (Good thing that you talk in a what's so called "Easy language", it just means that you don't over complicate things 👍)
Here's a tip when I'm mining in Bedrock edition (I don't know if it works in java), but in ur tunnel create branches that are seven blocks long, place a bed on the end, and the six block from the wall a harder block such as cobbled deepslate. or Blackstone. Then crouch behind that block, and slowly move forward spam clicking. u don't take any damage if this is done correctly.

this is the minecraft youtuber the world needed. He explains everything in detail and doesn't leave any information out. Everything at netherite is in this video, amazing!
also quick tip for fires: if you can get a bucket of powdered snow, that'll work as water and will actually work in the nether (unless I'm wrong lol)
edit: I'd also like to add that as long as at least one piece of armour is gold, piglins will be neutral, it doesn't have to be a helmet. :] I looked it up bc I wanted to just wear my gold boots (found them in a bastion remnant, they came w a few enchantments and I added more including mending, I've named them Yeezys lmao)
edit 2: I double checked the snow thing, it will work just as good as water and stops fall damage so you can do a snow clutch! :D v pog if you're like me and constantly falling (or on fire)
You are literally the most underrated Minecraft youtuber. I can't believe I JUST found your channel a couple days ago.
Awesome non-gimmicky tips, well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!
Tysm for making this. The first video of yours that I watched was the 1.18 mining guide and ever since Im subscribed. Keep the good content up!
Thanks, will do!
It was my first EyecraftMC's video too !
I have discovered a 3rd way of hunting for Netherite while making a under-Lava base after watching eyecraftmc's scaffolding video.
(If it has been discovered I haven't heard people talk about it)
I'm playing on the Switch and idk if it's unique to bedrock version. Also might work with finding diamonds just be careful when mining them.
Requires Fire Resist potions, (temp. Block) dirt/netherrack, and trapdoors.
1. Find a lava ocean and drink potion
2. Scan the ocean floor by bobbing through the surface texture or by using trapdoors to displace the lava and looking through those textures (lava-logged isn't a thing and it doesn't burn away)
3. Once located simply mine the Ancient Debris, since lava doesn't destroy it, so it's safe
I recommend building a short pillar (better view), placing a trapdoor on top, and removing two blocks just below the door so you can stand and look for debris.
Also the two main things that will fight you in the lava are magma cubes and piglins, ghasts may shoot as well.
Also you mine at regular speed under the lava and depth strider doesn't speed up lava walking.
Hope this helps :)
Make a video on this if you want :)
I really love your voice and the way you talk in general, great tutorial keep it up!
Tysm!
I love how calm their voice is. It is not only pleasant and soothing, but it makes lines like "if you run into some piglins, you won't be killed by them" surprisingly funny.
It's actually crazy that he just changed the title and description to match the new version but didn't add the most important addition in this update to netherite upgrades...
Bro I saw that subscriber watch time being below 1% and i immediately subbed, this is only my second video from you but you definitely deserve more than what your getting rn with all the effort you put in.
Really love your channel for how informative it is and how you always go in depth about the topics you address in each video.
It makes me sad that thousands of people watch your vids and don't subscribe, I just found you the other day and I subscribed just because what you said in a video was useful and I appreciated it. I hope you get more subscribers someday and grow your channel :)
Hey, I think I maybe know an interesting and maybe faster way to mine:
It's splittet into two parts:
1. sprint-strip-mining (parallel lines could be hundreds of blocks long but they have to be at least 11 blocks apart for full efficiency)
2. rush sideways e.g. the left side on one way und the right side coming back. This way you are able to constantly instamine revealing >2 blocks every block break (>40 block reveals per second (!))
I recommend filling lava pockets immediately or digging holes for it to not to flow to you.
If you aren't well armored you probably should have gaps or potions with you. Just in case
Edit: no sauce because I invented it myself, although I'm probably not the only person on this planet
Not the only person, can confirm i use this and thought of it too. i just don't understand why that's not in these tutorials since its super safe
@@ssnom2079 nice
I never thought of this yet. Thanks
Sprint mining is risky since you can run into lava, always bring fire resistance potions if you do this
you're one of the most underrated Minecraft RUclipsr's i've seen. i've been binge watching/listening to your vids while doing schoolwork and it's honestly helped me out so much when i go back into Minecraft after all my schoolwork is done and i can apply these tips instantly
In Bedrock Edition you can find chunk boarders using the leaves method!
•Place 18-20 leaves blocks in a row North to South!
•Stagger your next row and place 18-20 leaves blocks East to West in a cross shape through the row going North to South!
•Go to video settings and turn off Fancy Leaves!
•Place a block at the end of a row to update the leaves blocks!
(The leaves that didn't change is the outside boarder of the one you are updating!)
•Place a solid block next to the leaves block that didn't change to mark the boarder!
(This will update the outside chunk!)
•Find the leaves block that didn't change in the opposite row and mark with solid block next to the leaves block that did change!
(You should then be standing in a complete updated chunk without Fancy Leaves!)
•Converge onto the corners by linking both solid blocks!
•In both directions from the corner (including the corner block) count by 16 blocks and place a solid block on the 16th spot!
•Connect the remaining side's by counting (including the 16th spot) by another 16 blocks and mark that spot with a solid block!
(You should then have all 4 corners of a 16x16 block radius!)
•Mark the inside perimeter of that chunk (16x16 square) with solid blocks!
Your then ready to count your blocks by 16 to mine your tunnels on the chunk boarders!
If there's any confusion here please just watch a tutorial, there are plenty explaining the "Leaves Method" to find chunk borders!
I'm a BE player and I would very much like to see both Java and BE equal but we gotta do with what we have!
Awesome tutorial, I can't wait to mine a ton of Ancient Debris next time I get a chance to play!
for really end game mining, combine the methods. mine around chunk border, for around 200 blocks at a time, than fill it up with TNT, and nuke a passage way for yourself, you will get TONS of ore. just be careful about tnt bouncing back into you, place some hard blocks in the enterance, and also find a way to get rid of lava because you are 100% going to find a couple of nether lakes by nuking the amount of blocks you do.
Me who has no diamonds: Ah yes netherite
My preferred method is a bit of a combo of both you showed. I dig a long tunnel along a chunk border. When I decide it is long enough I slap down a bed, step back two blocks, slap down a cobblestone block, and wack the bed. Then back into the tunnel and slap down another bed in your tunnel on y12 as far along your tunnel as you can.
I like this because you get the benefit of the two explosions, you don't have to mess around counting blocks, you don't have to build. You just dig a long tunnel and work backwards to where you started blowing up beds as you go. You can get really fast.
Early game, I used beds, got just enough for my armor and 1 pickaxe. Took a few hours. Short time later, I found a bastion with a netherite ingot, so I then had 2 pickaxes. Late game, I went to the basalt delta to gather basalt with those 2 efficiency V unbreaking III, fortune III, mending netherite pickaxes, mined at y15 just in case I found debris. Lo and behold, by the time I got 3 shulker boxes of basalt, I had found 12 more debris. In everyone's least favorite biome. Early game, the beds are stressful and time consuming as the lava is a real problem. Late game? Mining with the pickaxes is no big deal, at all. Next up, I will use the chunk borders as you suggest. I want lodestones, after all. Thanks for the tips.
I did this as soon as I finished watching this video and let me tell you this is the most incredible guide I have ever done. I have a lot of time for Minecraft so I spent about 3 and a half hours mining. I got 174 ancient debris thank you so much for this ultimate guide 🙂
I like that you changed the thumbnail to say 1.20 but it's not valid now that netherrite has changed
But finding rhe netherite method is still the same. So of course still used in 1.20
Great stuff, I tried your methods and immediately got 6 debris within 5 minutes. Before I'd only gotten 2 in the past hour.
rather impressive you didn't run into any lava lakes. that's my biggest issue, it's a pain.
Those 2 Ancient Debree he found at 18:20 were actually a part of the Ancient Debree he found earlier except they were hidden under the netherack, goes to show you should mine around Ancient Debree whenever you find it
Love your videos man especially these indo rich ones. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
I just used a diamond Pickaxe. Efficiency 4, mending, unbreaking 3, fortune 3. Mine 4-6 blocks wide as fast as possible. Harvest ALL the quartz and gold to repair the pickaxe. I got 44 ancient debris in 1 hour at 0, -15, ~. Also left with a fully repaired pickaxe and 6 stacks of gold ingots. This was bedrock btw.
I am now one of the 1% subscribed, great video!
Thank you!
A calm voice and some tips i didnt knew about. Good guide!
I know this is a year late, but for bedrock users if you would like to find a chunk border walk until either your X or Z coordinates are divisible by 16. If both X and Z are divisible by 16, you're at the north-west corner of the chunk. Super helpful tip that I found online that allowed me to get some ancient debris quick!
I love how I know everything he is saying but there's something about that quality of the video that makes me fully watch them. Good work men, really been enjoying all of your content.
You deserve more subs! Thank you!
I appreciate that!
Another little fun fact about netherite equipment is that it has a higher enchantability than diamond, only second to gold. Meaning you have a higher chance of getting extra enchants in one go than you would with diamond.
These guides are simply amazing, +1 subscriber

Ultimate Minecraft 1.20 Guide?
Such a guide would include infos on the smithing template and where / how to find treasure bastions, don't you think so...
brother look at the upload date 1 year ago
Another thing to note about basalt deltas, lava pockets spawn everwhere underground in them and actually takes up most of the space ancient debris could have spawned therefore decreasing the density despite it being the most dangerous biome to mine under, also warped and crimson forests are the easiest ways to access the y levels you want to mine ancient debris at. In terms of bedrock methods, there are actually better ones than the methods you used here, both methods (I will be discluding the bed ones cause I despise them) will go off the same concept one being for more efficient and the other being more thorough. Method 1 "peek mining" so for starters, i would say mine at y 17, I find more ancient debris at y 17 personally. dig a 2 by 1 tunnel in a long stretch of probably like 30-60 blocks, then from there go back through and on both sides mine out the blocks at level to your head out to your max vision (5 blocks) and do that along your whole tunnel, then to turn just mine 5 blocks distance in your turning direction then mine a one block 2 by 1, then mine 5 blocks again, mine the foot level ones and then another 2 by 1, make that 2 by 1 parallel to your starting 2 by 1 tunnel for max efficiency and then repeat the process of opening the area up by mining everything. Method 2, "the thorough long hard way" repeat all steps of Method one but start at probably y 19 ish, then once you've mined out a decent amount of area that you can see, dig down one, two, and three blocks, and start a new tunnel directly underneath your starting tunnel, you should still have a ceiling in the new tunnel, and keep doing that all the way down to I'd say like y 9 for max thoroughness but y 12 or so is a good stopping point. These methods work best with efficiency of at least 2 or 3 and you should definitely have mending and unbreaking 3, you will be exposing insane amounts of nether quartz in the process and it is even pretty safe as you will have a large amount of netherrack to block of lava and you won't be generating hellish amounts of fire just by existing. If this is too confusing feel free to ask for clarifications and I will try to explain it better, in the end you should get stacking layers of completely empty 1 block tall spaces that stretch on as far as your render distance can go and beyond, it will be easy to get lost though so place a block of your choice that stands out and hope to God your navigational skills work or else you are screwed
New to the channel. Love the in depth explanation videos!
Awesome, thank you!
thank you so much, I started replaying minecraft recently after not having played for many years, your videos are clear and straight to the point, no nonsense. I just got 7 ancient debries thanks to you !
If you have fully enchanted diamond armour and tools, can you upgrade to netherite without losing anything?
yes, you keep all of your enchantments when u upgrade
Yes you will keep all of your enchantments, same goes for your durability
Dude you are the only set of helpful tutorials I found, and I keep finding yours for everything I need to do!
Thank you and please keep it up! It's very helpful!
pretty sure this video is not the "1.20" netherite guide if it was posted 2 years ago... you're missing the netherite upgrade templates if this is "1.20"
I love this,not only did he show the best ways to mine,he did them in order showed the best place to do it and why and showed how to use the netherite and make the armor AND showed how to make the smithing table you need to make the Armour and tools i was so impressed by how well he explained things for those who might not know how to make certain things i had to subscribe
i think id prefer tnt more since htyere stackable and also when exploding they dont light any blocks on fire
That's true, for me personally I find they're more expensive (specifically the gunpowder) and produce a smaller area. Plus there's the durability on your flint and steel. But it is definitely more space effecient.
@@watchableraven3517 just put unbreaking 3 on flint and mending
TNT is faster and much less tedious than bed mining. Lots of good farms on YT to give you the gunpowder you need. Use TNT along the chunk borders for max effectiveness
Pro tip for bed method: Always put out the fire (punch it) because ancient debris CAN catch on fire. There have been many times where I have punched out some fire, revealing ancient debris.
Does this work on bedrock too?
Yes!
This is my first watching you, your voice is so calming I could fall asleep to it if your content wasn’t so informative! Ty
Wow, thank you!
Well totally not for 1.20
Actually 1.18
Good Sir, you are coming in clutch for my goofy play style on realm. You are literally the only RUclipsr I have notifications on for.
don't just change the title to 1.20, it doesn't work on the smithing table like that. You need a smithing upgrade template for this.
is this still good just to find ancient debris?
There have been texture packs for years, for bedrock, that can do things like: show you chunk borders, show you entities through walls, light up the darkness, make the ocean see-through, ore finders, ect
I play a survival world on seed zero no glitches with the goal of getting all achievements. I don’t dupe items, or anything like zero tick that feels cheaty to me, but I do go to my seed in a separate creative world to find spawners. I also will gladly use whatever chunkbase offers to bedrock.
1.20 is out for barely a month. Yet this video is currently 1+ year old. Seems like you just edited the title with the new update. And because of that, dislike.
As you tunnel, place a torch on the left. This way, when you want to leave, your torches will be on your right. This method will ensure you never get lost or have to record coordinates.
Need the template in 1.20, outdated video
lol him updating the name
Nice algorithmic method, also your nice calm explanation is making it more digestible!
man these in-depth guides are carrying me. thanks so much and please keep doing this
I swear, every time I needed some guides for my world, his vids just pops up to my recommended videos, really learned a lot of tips from your vids!
I prefer tnt then beds. Exploding bed make a lot fire you have to put out to see everything. Where as tnt has smaller explosions, but a lot less clean up once it is done.
Wonderful video!
on bedrock you can also divide the coordinates by 16 and if the outcome is a real number you are at the chunck border. this way you are on the lower side of the chunck border.
also: if you use cobblestone in front of youself to block the bed explosion you will loose less hp.
Here is a tip for finding more gold.
If you mine the gold ores from the nether with a silk touch pickaxe you can smelt them and have one golden ingot per one ore. I'm saying this cuz i think that not everyone know that.
Thank you dude. You earned my sub. It's a great video and I got a full netherite armour
9:51 I believe a new feature was added. Splash water bottles now put out fire and they work in the nether, but correct me if I'm wrong.
thanks for this vid! was a really fun time watching and then applying the strategy. found 20 in a half hour or so.
I am the type of person that could get 3-4 ancient debris for like a few hours of border mining, so I gave up efficiency in exchange for stability and invented (at least I never heard of someone doing so) chunk mining method.
For this I didn't mean just mining out the chunk at the y-level of 14. I meant mining out the areas where the ancient debris will spawn, which is y-level of 8 to 22, which in theory should guarantee at least one blob of ancient debris per chunk.
To waste less durability, it's better to do it like mining out several floors, which has a "lowest floor" at y-coordinate of 9, "highest floor" at y-coordinate of 20, two blocks separation for each "floors" and stop mining once the ancient debris is found in that chunk.
Hope it could help unfortunate people like me :D
