What you’ll build

Smelt your ancient debris into netherite scrap, then combine it with gold to craft your first netherite ingot. Build a bank vault to show it off, then budget every piece of kit you want and work out how many more dig trips it'll take.

Finish line: Your netherite bank has its first ingot on display and a full budget for the rest of your kit.

Bonus challenge: Find the cheapest way to get all the gold for your kit: mining, bastion loot or trading. Which wins, and by how much?

You’ll need

  • Ancient debris
  • Gold ingots
  • A furnace and fuel
  • An item frame
  • A calculator

You choose

  • My bank's name
  • The first item that gets netherite
  • My bet: total debris for armour plus 2 tools

Stuck?

  • Each ancient debris smelts into one netherite scrap.
  • A netherite ingot takes 4 scrap and 4 gold ingots in a crafting table.
  • Short on gold? Smelt Nether gold ore or trade for it before your next debris trip.
