In the All The Mods 10 (ATM10) modpack, upgrading to Netherite armor is a crucial step for surviving the toughest challenges. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from finding the rare materials to performing the final upgrade at a smithing table.
Why You Need Netherite Armor in ATM10
Netherite armor isn't just the strongest vanilla Minecraft armor; it's the foundation for even greater power in a modded environment. Its superior durability and knockback resistance make it ideal. More importantly, it is fire and lava-proof, which is essential for exploring dangerous dimensions and engaging with complex mods. Upgrading your diamond gear to netherite is the first major milestone in reaching the endgame.
Step 1: Gather Essential Diamond Armor
You cannot craft Netherite armor from scratch. The process is an upgrade, not a direct craft. Therefore, your first step is to have a full set of diamond armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots) that you wish to upgrade.
- Craft or find a complete set: You can mine diamonds in the overworld or use mods to obtain them.
- Anvils and enchantments: It is highly recommended to enchant your diamond armor before upgrading. Enchantments transfer to the Netherite version, and it's cheaper to enchant diamond gear.
Step 2: Locate and Mine Ancient Debris
Ancient Debris is the rare ore that yields Netherite Scrap. It is found exclusively in the Nether dimension.
- Optimal Level: Ancient Debris spawns most frequently at Y-level 15. Use the F3 debug screen to check your coordinates.
- Mining Methods: Ancient Debris is blast-resistant. The most efficient methods are using beds (which explode in the Nether) or TNT
