Anyone who has played Minecraft for a long time will certainly remember that the diamond sword was the strongest in the game. However, since update 1.16, the game has received netherites, powerful items capable of improving weapons and armor to make them stronger and more resistant.

However, the item and its raw materials can only be found in the Nether, in chests in buildings, or near places with lava. Other than that, it cannot simply be manufactured, as it is necessary to have other items to get to it. The process is long, but it will be worth it. So, check out each step below to get the netherite sword, the strongest in Minecraft.

How to make netherite

  • Collect a block of ancient debris, which can be found floating in lava;
  • Cook it to turn it into netherite scrap. Each block generates a fragment;
  • Once you have four, mix them with four more gold bars (which can be mined, found in villages, or made with nuggets) to get the netherite bar;
  • Know that each recipe generates a bar, so make as many as you need.

  • Use the board to make sticks, you will only need one;
  • Once you also have two diamonds, use a bench and place a stick and two diamonds vertically above it.

Best sword enchantments

With the enchantment table, the weapon can become even more powerful, improving its attack, defense, and durability aspects. In total, there are eight available, but the most versatile are:

  • Sharpening: has 1.25 more damage per level, ranging from I (1) to V (5);
  • Flaming aspect: as the name suggests, it sets the rival on fire for 4 seconds. At level I, the opponent can lose up to three hearts of life, at level II they can lose up to seven;
  • Repulsion: pushes enemies a distance of three blocks at level I and six at level II;
  • Range: allows an attack to have more area of ​​damage and goes from level I to III.

The “Judgment” and “Ruin of the Arthropods” enchantments are only good for facing zombies and spiders, respectively, but are not very effective against other creatures. “Loot” is more recommended for facing enemies that have a chance of dropping rare items, like the Enderman, as it increases the chance of objects appearing.
