My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

Diamonds are pure material made from carbon only, which means that the concept of replacing the molecules is literally putting the diamond aside and using Netherite(which I think as a win win situation, I can have beautiful shiny diamond and useful Netherite). But I like your line of thought 😂

[@thetrgger8630]

Hey Matpat! I was just doing my thing today, watching videos in absolute boredom. I was thinking about how useless netherite was because you proved it here, when i came to the conclusion that you are wrong! If you take a look at the netherite armor on an armor stand or when wearing it with invisibility, you can clearly see that, at the very least, the diamond armor is coated on both sides! therefore there is not a single diamond shard piercing you if you get hit. And because netherite is better than iron, iron is only second best. i hope you see this, though i don't think you will. You seeing this is rarer than nethertite scrap. Have a great day! :D

[@prestonhall5171]

I’ve thought about creating a mod that adds steel into the game using coal as the carbon, but you need to purify the coal in order to craft steel equipment. To do that, you need deepslate, iron, and redstone to create a purifier, you then use with water to create carbon shillings, with dirt as a byproduct. You can think of the purifier as an automatic sifter. Since steel needs to be majority iron, I’ve though about using the mechanic they introduced this last update and use upgrade template (for steel specifically) to upgrade iron tools. The upgrade templates would be found in village blacksmith chests and dungeons, and would require iron to duplicate rather than diamond. Diamond gear would still be in the top spot as far as overworld ores go, but steel would be better than iron. I like this idea as the gap between iron and diamond in terms of durability is actually quite high. Steel would fill that gap.

actually in real life ancient debris irl is made due a high pressure of heat when contacted with stones which make it have a lot of resistance from bending that easy or we can say (in game) it acts like the galvanisation of iron with zinc from prevent rusting same way ancient debris can be combined with gold when plated with diamond it makes the armour have a higher resistance to bending

[@red878]

Funfact: Netherite never actually bends thats why it reduces knockback in game so maybe thats why the diamond mixed with the netherite doesnt hurt you

Okay, so I just figured something out while taking notes in Physics Class. In Minecraft, Lodestones can be crafted using Stone Bricks and a Netherite Ingot, which we know is 50% gold. Lodestones, in real life, are naturally occuring permanent magnets, made of a mineral called magnetite, which shares the same dark grey color as Netherite. From here it can be inferred that Netherite is actually magnetite, hence why Netherite is magnetic, as evidenced by its presence in the Lodestone crafting recipe. Well, the chemical formula for Magnetite is Fe3O4; oxygen and, more importantly, iron. Iron could be an essential component of Netherite, further proving MatPat's theory that iron is the strongest material in Minecraft, as it is a part of Netherite, alongside oxygen and gold. TL;DR Netherite is actually a magnetic mineral that is partially made of iron.

[@Jecobe]

the problem is that this is mc, diamonds are strongest and more powerful. so, diamonds are way better than iron. but if you are talking about irl, makes sense.

That’s not exactly true. See, while you are correct about them both chemically composing of carbon, there is a reason you wouldn’t you diamond to make steel. When making steel you would need something that is not only carbon but able to be turned into pure carbon. Which in that case coal is WAY better. Also, diamonds would be incredibly hard to make steel with due to their crystalline structure making it unreasonable to use in the making of steel. So while you are correct in them both having carbon, in matpat’s example he is correct in saying coal.

Well, technically diamond can mix with som metals but very VERY few. Also, Netherite is fictional so we don't know if it can be classified as a metal or something unknown might even be its own thing. Like ChromeDigizoid from Digimon, there are many variants and ChromeDigizoid is its own class.

[@roland.w]

This is actually an amazing idea, adding steel to Minecraft! I have always thought that it was weird that a solid block of iron would sound a lot more like, well, metal. And Netherite sounds and looks, SO COOL, but it is so, ridiculously, rare, that it's not worth building with. (And I don't really like the rugged, rough texture) _But,_ Steel would make sense have a similar color and sound to Netherite, and could have a much cleaner look, on top of being much, _much_ easier to get, and a simple upgrade to iron, but not better than diamond of course, by a gameplay standpoint... I want to get a petition out, and I can even propose ideas for how it would be gotten! Simply surround an iron ingot with chunks of coal, or alternatively (and perhaps better), upgrade iron with coal with the smithing table, and have a steel upgrade template to go with!
