Minecraft Netherite tools are some of the best tools in Minecraft itself, more tough and resilient than Diamond and even able to survive being dunked in lava without being destroyed by the intense heat. With the release of the Minecraft Nether update, players can construct whole sets of equipment made to endure the hardiest of conditions. It's not easy to do though, and Minecraft is pretty stingy about it. Not to worry though, we'll show you here how to craft Minecraft Netherite tools to call your very own.

How to craft Minecraft Netherite tools
So you've managed to get yourself some Netherite in Minecraft. Question is, how do you turn those Netherite ingots into useable tools?

Firstly, you need to ensure you have the Netherite tool you desire, but in Diamond form. Want a Netherite Sword? Make a Diamond Sword first. Simple.
To upgrade it to Netherite, you need to get your hands on a Smithing Table. This is a block that has been in the game for over a year, but until now has had no functionality except to provide a job for a Villager. Now however, Smithing Tables are crucial to create Netherite equipment.
You can craft a Smithing Table with two Iron Ingots at the top of a 3x3 crafting grid, with four wooden planks below them, taking up a 2x3 space in total. Alternatively, you can take them from villages.
To turn your Diamond equipment into Netherite, you need to have one single Netherite Ingot. Use the Smithing Table, put your Diamond tool on the left-most square, and the ingot on the next. This will create a Netherite tool, which is stronger, faster, and more durable than anything Diamond. What's interesting is that in the pre-release of the Nether Update, creating a Netherite tool would repair all durability but not carry over enchantments, but now it works in the opposite way. Enchantments will carry over, but you'll need to repair it with an anvil to fix the durability.
This is the first time Minecraft has introduced an upgrade system rather than having to craft an entirely new item. Perhaps the most interesting thing about Netherite is that it floats when in lava, which means that you can't accidentally throw it away or lose it when you die to the fiery pits of hell. As long as you pick it up within the five minute timeframe, you'll be able to rescue all your Netherite items.
Other Netherite uses
Alongside tools and armor, Netherite can also be used for two other things. The first is to power beacons. Simply insert a Netherite ingot in the same way you would any other power source and it will work. The issue here is that since Netherite ingots are such a pain to obtain, this isn't an effective use when you can use a stack of Iron ingots instead.
Of course, you can also combine nine Netherite ingots together to make a Netherite block. This is solely a decorative item to show off the fact you have more Netherite than you need, to flex your wealth on any visitors you may have.
