Usage
It is an ingredient in its own recipe, making it simple to craft more after the initial item is found.
Crafting ingredient
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|
| Diamond + + Netherrack |
Smithing ingredient
While upgrading, the newly crafted netherite gear retains the enchantments, prior work penalty and number of durability points lost (instead of the remaining durability) from the diamond gear.
Unlike anvils, using a smithing table to upgrade diamond gear to netherite gear costs no experience and does not increase the prior work penalty.
Armor retains its existing trim, if applied, when upgrading.
