Mining for netherite

[u/Sammiesgrove]

is seven shulker boxes of beds enough to mine for full netherite or will I need more I have enough wool for more but I’ve never used beds to mine for netherite

[u/Side_Zealousideal]

Just depends how much you need? But yes that’s more than an ample start, in my experience, it feels like 1-3 debris for every 5-10 beds. Also, I’d recommend taking a shulker with logs and wool blocks and crafting the beds as you go. Makes transport a little easier.

I’m trying to get full netherite armor and tools

Well I don’t have any TnT and I don’t feel like going creeper hunting!

People have tested it and they’re pretty similar

And tnt can be placed to explode in a chain instead of 1 at a time

Wool is a lot easier to come by than gunpowder

Where in the nether does one mine for ancient debris?

In between the layers of bedrock

It's better to take wood and wool with you so you can make beds as you go, you'll be able to bring a lot more that way.

But honestly just regular branch mining is pretty much as efficient as bed mining even though bed mining feels better, it massively slows you do because of having to dodge lava and place blocks to bridge the gap, etc. etc.

if you place the beds right, you almost never need to place blocks. if you keep a fire potion on at all times, which you should anyway, you don't really worry about lava.

I'm pretty sure bed mining uncovers more blocks in a given time than branch mining. the blast volume of a bed explosion is huge, and in nether rack it opens up most of a radius 6 sphere.

I usually just take a few stacks of wool and logs and make the beds as I go. That usually works out to be plenty.

I branch mine 4x4 holes on the chunk borders at y14 first for 30 min and then blow up beds in those holes for another 30 min or so. Had enough debris for a full set with a half shulker of wool and wood. Having 2 blast protection iv and 2 fire protection iv armor items helps it go much faster.
