Do you think diamond is the strongest material in Minecraft? It used to be, but with the 1.16 update, netherite is now the strongest material. If you need to repair netherite tools like armor, chestplates, pickaxes, swords, or boots, it's easy—you'll just need a second netherite tool of the same type or netherite ingots. Then, you can use the anvil, crafting table, or grindstone to make the repair. This wikiHow discusses the different ways you can fix damaged netherite tools in Minecraft.

Things You Should Know

  • Using the Anvil is the best way to repair netherite tools that have enchantments.
  • Repairing with the Crafting Table or Grindstone will lose any enchantments you have on your tools.
  • You'll need either netherite ingots or a secondary tool of the same type to repair your tool.

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Anvil

Download Article

  1. 1

    Open the Anvil menu. You'll see two open spaces.

    • This is the best method of repairing your netherite tools. This is best utilized when you have enchantments or improvements on your tools that you don't want to lose.
    • You'll need either 2 of the same tool or netherite ingots. Since netherite ingots are a challenge to get, the best time to do this is right before your tool breaks. You can use a pristine and undamaged item to repair your almost broken tool or you can use 4 ingots.
  2. 2

    Place your damaged item and repair material in the grid. The damaged item should go in the leftmost space and the repair material (either another tool of the same type or netherite ingots) goes in the other space.

    • The item on the left is the target item and the item in the space to the right is destroyed.[1]

  3. 3

    Drag and drop the repaired item into your inventory. Any enchantments or improvements on your netherite tool will still be there or improved after you've repaired it.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:

Crafting Table

Download Article

  1. 1

    Open the Crafting Table menu. While this is the easiest method, you'll lose any enchantments or improvements on your netherite tools.

    • You'll need 2 of the same netherite tool. Their durability will combine and get a 5% repair bonus to give you one item.
  2. 2

    Place your damaged items in the available spaces. You can use any spaces available in the crafting grid, but they have to be the same type of tool.

    • For example, you can use 2 damaged netherite axes to repair each other and make 1 netherite axe.
    • This could be beneficial if you have limited inventory space, as it turns 2 non-stackable items into 1 item.[2]
  3. 3

    Drag and drop the repaired item into your inventory. Since you're using a crafting table, any enchantments or improvements will be lost when you repair the item.

Method 3

Method 3 of 3:

Grindstone

Download Article

  1. 1

    Open the Grindstone menu. You'll see a 1x1 grid that's horizontal.

    • This is similar to using the crafting table where your tools will lose any enchantments or improvements.
  2. 2

    Place your damaged items in the input spots. Both items need to be the same type of tool.

    • For example, you can use 2 damaged netherite axes to repair each other and make 1 netherite axe.
    • This could be useful if you have limited inventory space, as it turns 2 non-stackable items into 1 item.[3]
  3. 3

    Drag and drop the repaired item into your inventory. Since you're using a grindstone, any enchantments or improvements will be lost when you repair the item.

      Tips

      • If you have a Lapis Lazuli, try to get a mending enchantment.[4] You'll need to apply the enchantment to your tool with an Anvil. Once you enchanted the tool with mending, it will repair automatically as you gain experience.

      How to Repair Netherite Tools in Minecraft: 3 Easy Fixes (2024)

      FAQs

      What is the easiest way to repair Netherite tools? ›

      If you need to repair netherite tools like armor, chestplates, pickaxes, swords, or boots, it's easy—you'll just need a second netherite tool of the same type or netherite ingots. Then, you can use the anvil, crafting table, or grindstone to make the repair.

      Can Netherite tools be broken? ›

      Although generally indestructible, netherite in item form can be destroyed if it comes in contact with a cactus, just like any other item. Much like the obsidian ore, netherite can still be broken by blue wither skulls, dropping the item.

      Can I put mending on netherite? ›

      Mending does not work on Netherite Tools or Weapons.

      How do I fix Netherite tools too expensive? ›

      Unfortunately, the only way to remove the 'Too Expensive' message from the anvil for that particular item is by removing all the enchantments and resetting the item. This can be done by placing the item in the crafting grid or the grindstone.

      Does turning diamonds to netherite remove enchantments? ›

      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. Upgrading gear does not remove incompatible enchantments, such as multiple different Protection enchantments.

      Can you swim in lava with netherite armor? ›

      Netherite armor

      Because it is made of netherite, this armor gives additional temporary fire resistance and fire protection. In fact, with Fire Protection IV or Protection IV, you can stand/swim in lava with no damage. The durability does not go down either.

      Is netherite still worth it? ›

      The value of a Netherite sword is obvious. It is the sword that deals the most damage, has the highest durability, and is fire and lava-proof, making it an absolute necessity for players venturing through the fiery pits of the Nether or otherwise traveling into molten locations for dangerous fights.

      Why is netherite better than diamond? ›

      If players combine this new wonder material with their armour, it will have a higher toughness and durability than diamond! Yes, tougher than diamond! It also has knockback resistance, meaning players will barely move if they are hit with arrows. Any weapons made with Netherite will also do more damage than diamonds.

      Is netherite pickaxe faster than diamond? ›

      Ultimately, the actual finishing times for each pickaxe are: 1st – Netherite in 33.83 seconds (33.5 seconds expected time) 2nd – Diamond in 40.67 seconds (40.2 seconds expected time)

      Can you repair netherite with gold? ›

      50% of a Netherite Ingot is made of Gold Ingots, so I think it makes sense for Netherite tools and armour to be repaired with Gold Ingots because repairing it with a Netherite Ingot is too expensive for how rare it is + it gives a new use for Gold.

      Can you enchant netherite tools? ›

      Enchant the Netherite Pickaxe

      TIP: In Creative mode, you do not need to place the lapis lazuli in the second box. Once you have placed your netherite pickaxe and lapis lazuli in the two boxes, you will see the enchantment slots display up to 3 enchantment options.

      At what Y level does netherite spawn? ›

      Obtaining Netheretie is a bit of a process but well worth it. To get Netherite you'll need to mine Ancient Debris first, which can only be found in the Nether. When you enter the Nether you'll need to mine until you reach Y level 8-15.

      Can I repair my netherite pickaxe? ›

      A netherite pickaxe can be repaired in an anvil by adding netherite ingots, with each ingot restoring 25% of the pickaxe's maximum durability, rounded down. Two netherite pickaxes can also be combined in an anvil. Both methods preserve the pickaxe's enchantments.

      How durable are Netherite tools? ›

      Netherrite items are more powerful and durable than diamond, and in dropped-item form are resistant to burning by fire and lava. Netherrite blocks are also unbreakable by the strongest explosions from normal gameplay, with the exception of blue wither skulls.

      Does fortune work on netherite? ›

      This mod replaces the default drop of Ancient Debris (Netherite ore) with the new Raw Debris. It acts exactly like Raw Iron or Raw Gold: by default, you will only get one. But if you have the Fortune enchantement on your Diamond Pickaxe, you will randomly get 1 to 4 Raw Debris!
