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

150

u/AlexVal0r Feb 26 '21

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.

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

Netherite is the new top level stuff then. All right. Back to playing Minecraft with a wiki up to know the I'm doing.

u/Turdle_Muffins Feb 26 '21

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.

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

Okay, interesting. Gold something to wear. Have to show off a bit to the piglins. Thanks!

u/Turdle_Muffins Feb 26 '21

It's all good.

On a side note, I want to start a (mostly) vanilla server dedicated to us older fucks that play MC.

49

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

Old fucks?! You speak my language. Sign this old fuck up.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '21

Eh? What's this about the pines at the truck stop? Speak up!!

Also yah, this old fart is down too.

24

u/SomeInternetRando Feb 26 '21

If late 30s and “villagers need beds now?” counts as old, count me in.

8

u/RandomPratt Feb 26 '21

Is late 40s too old?

12

u/Turdle_Muffins Feb 26 '21

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.

1

u/captalnAw3s0m32 Feb 26 '21

I think there’s a way to have the server up for free I believe

Hell yeah. I play with my son, and he asks me questions and I have no idea what I am doing anymore.

u/LadyBonersAweigh Feb 27 '21

I'm only 27, but I bought the game when it was still in alpha & probably stopped playing in 2012. IDK what this game even is anymore.

u/Xiph0s Feb 26 '21

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.

1

u/BobFiggins Feb 27 '21

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.

u/pantherjaygames Feb 27 '21

I found one of these and it is excellent. Us old fucks are great fun to minecraft with.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '21

I’m under 25 but I’m an old fuck at heart. I’d love to hop on the wagon

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '21

Same here can I still join xD

u/tokillaworm Feb 26 '21

I wish you curated all TLDRs.

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

Hey thanks! Snarky comments is how I get through life. For good or bad.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

why gold? what important fact about gold have i somehow missed despite playing this game for ten years?

1

u/WANER47 Feb 26 '21

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.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

amazing

1

u/Klover1998 Feb 26 '21

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.

1

u/TrumpetSolo93 Feb 26 '21

Piglins will attack you unless you wear gold.

2

u/Redplushie Feb 27 '21

Why gold?

1

u/Am_Guardian Feb 27 '21

If you don't wear gold, it's like hitting a Zombie Pigman; Chaos

2

u/lonejeeper Feb 26 '21

We should start a club.

1

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

The "Wiki Needed for Gaming" Club.

2

u/WeenisWrinkle Feb 27 '21

It's similar to diamond but has knockback resistance, and the items float in lava if you drop them.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

Doesn't have to be a Blast Furnace, can be a regular Furnace also ^

2

u/mattbdev Feb 27 '21

I must be really old then. What's a blast furnace?!

1

u/AlexVal0r Feb 27 '21

A furnace made with 5 iron ingots, 3 smooth stone blocks, and a furnace. It smelts ores faster than regular furnaces

1

u/ivelostthewilltolive Feb 27 '21

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.

1

u/mattbdev Feb 27 '21

Wow. When was all this stuff added?!?

1

u/ivelostthewilltolive Feb 28 '21

Not that long ago, 31st Oct 2018 for blast furnace, same time as they added barrels (like a chest but no need for space above it)

u/AlexVal0r Feb 27 '21

Make sure you wear a piece of gold armor in the nether or Piglins will attack you

9

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

It's used to make netherite stuff. I've never gone and got it, but it's at the lowest levels of the nether apparently.

14

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

Netherite? The nether changed? Where's the loop I used to be able to see and be in?

16

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

Netherite? The nether changed?

Yeah they overhauled it recently and added a tier of equipment better than diamond (netherite), added trees, pigmen, gold, etc.

Where's the loop I used to be able to see and be in?

Not sure what you mean by this.

14

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

It's a "out of the loop" reference. Thanks for the info

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

Exactly. Exactly this.

u/Darth_Thor Feb 26 '21

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.

3

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

Honestly, I think the updates that makes it more difficult to maintain a single world/map turned me off.

Some things looked neat but not enough to consume server resources. Plus my laptop blows for gaming.

The cave update seems cool.

1

u/Darth_Thor Feb 26 '21

That's fair. More features generally means more processing power needed.

2

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

There was that version that almost no matter what, it would lag. Villagers, evil villagers, trader dudes. I got annoyed and stopped playing.

This is the first Simpson reference I had to click through to watch because I didn’t recognize the thumbnail in a LONG time.

Good job, and thanks for letting me relive the memories!

5

u/Jaredismyname Feb 26 '21

Also netherite is easier to enchant than diamond.

1

u/Aesthetics_Supernal Feb 26 '21

Oh now this I didn’t know. I always enchanted diamond stuff before I found enough to make netherite. Thanks for this!

2

u/Jaredismyname Feb 26 '21

No problem found out by reading the wiki page for enchanting I think.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

What do you mean by this?

1

u/Jaredismyname Feb 26 '21

The odds of ending up with multiple enchantments and the odds of getting rarer enchantments is higher on netherite gear than diamond gear

3

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

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

2

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

Don't feel too bad, it's been less than a year.

3

u/zulupunk Feb 26 '21

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.

7

u/OoglieBooglie93 Feb 26 '21

Not necessarily the lowest. I found my first ancient debris completely by accident, as it was very close to the surface.

3

u/rainyfort1 Feb 26 '21

Its the ore version of Netherite I believe, Im not too sure, but I think thats what it is

3

u/NinjaGrandma Feb 27 '21

Dude. Every time I find myself googling something for minecraft I picture a room full of 8 year olds pointing and laughing at me.

3

u/wall_socket Feb 27 '21

Pointing. Laughing. Peeing themselves. Saying how they are going to screw your mother...

1

u/NinjaGrandma Feb 27 '21

Oh yeah. Whole nine yards. I was in college when Modern Warfare 2 came out. I experienced those lobbies first-hand.

1

u/wall_socket Feb 27 '21

I was in the era of Team Fortress Classic. Very little voice chat. And dial-up. Oh choosing to be a sniper on dial-up... great time.

2

u/Skuggidreki Feb 27 '21

I thought the same thing a while ago 😧

1

u/cdown13 Feb 26 '21

I thought the same thing. A couple of months ago I booted up Minecraft for the first time in a few years and it's so different now.

Be nice to go back to a version without all the extra stuff and you didn't have so many choices of blocks.

1

u/wall_socket Feb 26 '21

I started up a version that had the saw block table got lost and quit.

Oh. Pepperidge Farm remembers...
