To make a Netherite Ingot in Minecraft, follow these steps:

1. Gather Ingredients:
   • Mine Ancient Debris blocks in the Nether (usually found below Y=15).
   • Smelt the Ancient Debris in a furnace or blast furnace to obtain Netherite Scraps.
   • Collect Gold Ore in the Overworld and smelt it to get Gold Ingots.
2. Crafting the Netherite Ingot:
   • Open a crafting table to access the 3x3 crafting grid.
   • Place 4 Netherite Scraps and 4 Gold Ingots anywhere in the crafting grid. The recipe is shapeless, so the placement does not matter.
   • This will yield 1 Netherite Ingot.
3. Collect the Netherite Ingot from the crafting output slot and move it to your inventory.

This Netherite Ingot can then be used primarily for upgrading diamond gear via a smithing table, rather than direct crafting of new items
