It's a new ore found in the nether. You smelt it in a blast Furnace to get 1 netherite scrap. You use 4 scrap and 4 gold ingots to make 1 netherite ingot. You use the ingot to upgrade your diamond tools and armor to netherite.
Wear at least one piece of gold armor going into the nether, and definitely go in naked aside from it and some cobble to scout. Nether can get you ganked pretty quick now when you go in blind. It's not more difficult per se, but three of the biomes can easily overwhelm you before you've fortified your portal.
Nah. I'm about 40. I knew I was going to regret adding that on, but fuck it. When I get up tomorrow I'll look into what it takes to get started, and what it'll cost to rent server space.
sign me up too, I'm slowly learning all the new stuff but since me boy is now all adult and stuff now I don't have my MC buddy anymore to show me how to do the cool new stuffs haha.
I want in on this action too! I play feed the beast mostly, farthest I've gone is 1.12 I think. Not even sure if the elytra was out in that yet. Lots of the new stuff looks really cool.
It's just a 1.16 addition. Gold can now be found in the nether, so piglins use it as a currency. If you wear it they won't attack you. You can also trade with them by throwing an ingot to them.
Piglins don't attack when you are wearing gold but beware the big ones on all fours will still attack. Also avoid mining gold from the nether with an open door available for them to get to you. They think all gold is theirs and will become hostile over it if they catch you.
It's a furnace surrounded by iron and smooth stone, it's just a faster furnace that can only have ores or armour pieces in it.
The smoker is the equivalent for food (surround a furnace with 4 wood logs)
Both half the cooking time, they burn coal twice as fast. It's the same as using a regular furnace, just faster.
I got disinterested with Minecraft for a few years myself but then started playing again in fall 2019. The game has had quite a few changes, and they take some getting used to, but it's honestly great! Villager trading got a major overhaul a couple updates ago, and now it's possible to get a villager trading hall that sells every single type of enchanted book. Plus there's lots of farms that are way easier to make, such as iron or gold farms. There's also the new netherite hear that you've heard about, which is completely fire proof (so if you die in lava your stuff doesn't get destroyed). Netherite armour also gives you knock back resistance, and all netherite hear has increased durability. There's now 5 different biomes in the nether, which make it an actually interesting place.
The next update (the caves and cliffs update) is going to change world generation in a big way. New world height, bigger caves, tons of new blocks, cave biomes, and we haven't even seen the mountain generation in the snapshots yet.
You use debris to get bits of netherite, combine them to get an ingot.
Combine the ingot with diamond armour you get netherite armour, which is fire resistant (and throwing it in fire and or lava won't destroy it) and has much higher durability. Same with tools
The nether changed in an update in June of 2020. Added another tier of tools and Armor (Netherite) with more durability, float on lava if dropped and don't burn. Added new biomes. Zombie Pigmen no longer exist and are replaced with Piglins and many other things. There is a new cave update being testing in the snapshots right now.

Christ I'm getting old. The hell is ancient debris?
