Netherite scrap is a valuable item in the game Minecraft. It is obtained by smelting netherite ore in a furnace or blast furnace. When mined, netherite ore drops netherite scrap instead of the ore itself, making it essential for crafting. Players can combine four pieces of netherite scrap with four gold ingots to create one netherite ingot. Netherite ingots are used to upgrade diamond tools and armor, making them more durable and powerful. This makes netherite scrap a crucial resource for players looking to enhance their equipment in the game.
