what level is netherite

Netherite itself doesn’t generate as an ore block; you’re actually looking for ancient debris , which is what you mine in the Nether to get netherite scraps.

Best Y level for netherite

• The community “sweet spot” for finding ancient debris is around Y level 15 in the Nether , where it is most commonly found and generally most efficient to mine long tunnels.

• Ancient debris can technically generate across a vertical range in the Nether, but players widely treat Y 15 as the go‑to answer to “what level is netherite?” for practical mining.

Quick how it works

• Mine in the Nether at about Y 15, using a diamond or netherite pickaxe, to collect ancient debris, then smelt it into netherite scraps and craft netherite ingots.

• Players often use long strip mines or controlled TNT/bed explosions at that level because ancient debris is blast-resistant and does not burn in lava, making it safer to reveal.

TL;DR: For “what level is netherite,” the common practical answer is: go to the Nether and mine ancient debris at about Y = 15.
