Why Netherite Replacing Diamond is Huge

With the Minecraft 1.16 Nether Update, diamond gear has finally been ousted as the highest tier in the game by new Netherite. This is a historic change to Minecraft's tech tree and could have huge consequences to the future roadmap.

The way Netherite is implemented was very smart, make it rare, hard to find, but you only need to find little of it and combine it with diamond materials, so you cant skip the diamond stage.

[@teamFlemiX94]

you need to find 4 for each piece of gear so if you want to do a full set (sword ,pick shovel , axe and all the pieces of armor) you'll need 32 Netherite,you'd need 33 diamond for the same set (28-32 without the shovel), so you still have to mine a lot to get it

[@progenitor_amborella]

"diamond is dead" This process makes sure diamonds won't be obsolete, which is super important. This change is really cool, the way they implemented it is really well.

Since 1.9 controversy, Mojang have never introduced any new game-changer features. They were scared getting another backlash from players. The introduction of a new ore really shows how Mojang finally decided to take a leap of faith and take a huge step in the game development. In my opinion, this means that Mojang will keep this trend and we will get to see even more unusual and interesting mechanics.

[@williamvalorious4403]

Minecraft is heading toward it's 2d cousin progression, my only question is how close will Mojang go

[@blazingblight2706]

Even though Netherite isn't your typical mineable ore, it is indeed a leap forward. I'm honestly glad they did it.

[@KingTaltia]

I have to wonder if they had the foresight to do this because of Hytale? (In some capacity, not wholly) Because I could see Minecraft's zietgheist loosing some air when Hytale comes out. Given it's driven by a team that popularity alone shows they understand VERY well why Minecraft was so successful and fun. Minecraft taking the leap to try something new, and Hytale pushing forward to not live in it's shadow. I hope we get to see the relationship between these games blossom into a healthy rivalry, for the good of everyone involved.

I posted this in a comment chain, but I thought other people might like it: “...[for example] it takes 8 diamonds AND four gold AND four netherite scrap to make a chestplate , any enchantments on the chestplate are lost, netherite “ore” (ancient debris) is rarer than diamond, each “ore” only gives a fourth of a netherite ingot, there is the nether to deal with, and each netherite ingot also needs 4 gold If you do the math, for a full set of diamond armor and tools (axe, shovel, hoe, sword, and pickaxe), it needs 35 diamonds. For a full netherite set of armor and tools, there is a need for 35 diamonds, 32 gold, and 32 netherite scrap. I think this is balanced enough.” Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

I can't get over how awesome this video is. Not just your excellent substantiated disquisition about the topic -- but especially how you used footage from the game in such subtle ways to highlight the points you're making. I love the way Netherite has been implemented, it's not a huge mandatory expansion on top of diamond. But I find another substance arguably more revolutionary in 1.16 -- Gold. Wearing it makes Piglins friendly? You can barter gold with them? Gold was useless, but is now essential for safety in the Nether, and can be converted into all kinds of other resources. They're finding brilliant ways to break materials out of the tier system! Which makes me think: What if they expanded more into "silly quirks". Heavy armor makes you run a bit slower. Iron gear is dangerous to wear in a thunderstorm. A leather outfit increases your horse riding speed, and bows/tridents/lances/spears do increased damage when used from a horse. Small shields allow more vision, but big shields protect more. Flails with long chains have more reach, but slower swing. Wands, carefully constructed from various wood types, infused with rare mob drops can sling spider webs into the world, heal a friend, or lift a mob into the air. I think there are so many ways to make combat more interesting using variety & archetype choices, instead of just tiering!

Instead of adding an overworld biome, or mob, or fixing up villages (all which are good), mojang is starting to delve into the fantastical, something that I've always hoped for (which is why im so hyped for Hytale). Minecraft, in my opinion, needs to expand outward, adding cool, new items that, while not changing the game's core, increase the depth and progression, and exploration part of the game.

The thing is, although it's a tiny difference between tiers, it's treated like a massive advance. You *feel* like you've gotten further. You've upgraded from Iron to Diamond armour? Cool! Not too massive of a protection boost, but suddenly you have the confidence to go hunting in the nether. Upgrade from Iron tools to Diamond tools? Well, the difference is still marginal, but it just seems like you're stronger. The idea of fighting the Ender Dragon with iron is absurd to most people, yet fighting them with Diamond has always been a perfectly reasonable idea. It's what it *feels* like that matters, not what it *is* like.

[@EnderSpy007]

"Feeling strong is more important than being strong." -Alexander Supertramp

[@skylark306]

This change kind of miss the point, as the game's primary progression curve still revolves around enchantment and enchantment make all the difference, not the tool material. At maxed out player effective HP (protection 4 diamond armor) a player can practically swim in lava for 30 second and survive a player continuously attacking by eating beef. Compare that to unenchanted armor and you are looking at 10-15 second max survival time or 4-5 shot with a power 5 bow.

[@grimjudgment6527]

Not gonna lie, I rarely use diamonds whatsoever. Like, I basically just use iron until I can throw mending on my diamond kit, and just keep it for display until then. There's one exception to this: If I decide to go the village construction route, I tend to produce so many emeralds that I never mine and instead just buy a full diamond kit. Diamonds in Minecraft can be obtained without ever mining these days because of shipwrecks and buried chests. I also usually go into the nether with only an iron kit because doing so with diamond is an unnecessary risk. Basically, the only times I use a full diamond kit is specifically for the end fight and/or wither fights. Else, there's not much of a reason to bother.

This is why I like Terraria more than Minecraft. You can't just be done with a world in a day with nothing left to look forward to. In Terraria I spent like 120 hours of playing before killing the final boss. During that time I had spent a huge amount of time just exploring, grinding and building too. And the mining was fun too, because you never just mine, you usually kill monsters and look for ores at the same time. Let's face it, mining in Minecraft has some occasional glimpses of interestingness in forms of caves and... gravel I guess but ultimately is just boring. Every cave even looks exactly the same with just ravines and mining complexes. There are like 4 monsters to meet....etc etc. I could go on and on. This is why I told everyone who asked me if Terraria is just 2D Minecraft I answered that Minecraft is just very basic 3D version of Terraria. If Minecraft goes this route and adds enough interesting items, locations, colors and just overall stuff to do, it will atract a lot of new players and make the current ones cream their pants with every new update. Really well put together video, Subscribed!

The thing is, Minecraft is considered a simple and peaceful survival game. Not a colour filled, bullet hell, fast paced RPG. Sure, the game can be improved, but in the direction of Terraria? I disagree.

[@The0rbiter]

@@terrylap6132 Why do you disagree? Would Minecraft necessarily loose its peacefullness if it became more Terraria like? I mean, you would still have your house, your garden and a dog you are afraid to take hunt with you because you already gave him a name and maybe grew a little attached to. But now you could leave your peacefull house and standard mines and go somewhere, where the very hard monsters and good loot are. And after that you would dare to go to an even more dangerous and rewarding location knowing that there are many more you would have to get better to visit. If you truly believe your argument, I imagine you don't like Nether and End as well. After all, both are harder dimensions, that challenge this peacefull playstyle (Even if only by just a bit, which is my complaint).

[@terrylap6132]

@@The0rbiter Of course it would lose it’s peacefulness, from my view point, Minecraft is a peaceful game supposedly to reflect the dullness of everyday life. It’s illogical to add crazy bosses and five hundred different hostile mobs to a game that revolves and depends on peacefulness. It’s simplicity and flexibility is what attracts many players, not the five hundred mobs and six thousand weapons if they were indeed to be added.

My friends' ideal length of time for a server is about three weeks because that's how long it takes to fit their several half-day long play sessions where they stare at numbers on their screen, tab to the Wiki, and watch Netflix or KZbin while standing still trying to get to the next step. Once that's done, they shut down the server, delete the world, and reinstall the game with 760 new mods a year later. I want to be able to beat any enemy with any weapon given enough skill.

You only need diamond ore for jukeboxes and enchantment tables, the latter of which you need precisely one of. Edit: quartz is still not obsolete, as you can only buy quartz blocks, but quartz itself is still needed for comparators, observers and daylight sensors.

I mean, depending on the overall response the public has to this new tier, we could be looking at much more freedom in what Mojang does in the future, adding more powerful items and bosses could be coming our way. Though you could always say that this sort of thing would ruin what makes Minecraft Minecraft. Minecraft is very sandbox oriented, it has some progression and goal systems, but as SimplySarc said, this game is about making your own goals. Adding more tiers of bosses and weapons could force people down a more directed route, which not everyone will love. It's a very hard balance between these two situations, freedom for the player and giving them goals to strive for so they don't feel lost.

You know they said that ancient debris is now replacing to diamonds but how will you get ancient debris without a diamond pickaxe?

In my opinion there should be more unique loot. Loot that does not necessarily have special attributes but is really rare. For example an apple with a custom animation / lure or a leather chest piece with an unusual texture or pattern. So that the fact you found that ultra rare item is special. But there can be lots of different ones in loot spots. They could even be a pun of some sort or give a fancy visual effect. The missing texture block was a prime example but not intended and got removed (sadly).

[@sediew]

Philipp There was an actual idea to use two status effects to change loot: luck and bad luck. Obviously luck gives you better loot and bad luck worse loot. Now, they can implement that again but more like an invisible bar such as saturation so the player doesn’t know at all

I’d like to see something like endite in future updates. It would work like netherite in how you make it, but instead of giving nether related perks, have end related perks. It would be like choosing a class in a strategy game. Picking one option makes the other unobtainable (without a lot more work in this case). Endite could prevent enderman teleportation, prevent fall damage all together, or maybe warp you to a safe spot when you take damage?

your point about modded only applies to 1. specific single mods and 2. packs based around progression systems The way I play modded (typically called a Kitchen Sink pack) is similar to vanilla but with more mechanics. I use other more fun mods to bypass boring parts of other mods, I build large underground bases using building blocks from Chisel and Quark, I build big industrial factories that tower over their environment all because I have access to that large array of blocks that mods give

Still need Diamonds to make enchanting table, juke box, still good weapons and armor, and some other things. Saying diamonds are being replaced is a huge exaggeration.

I have for over 10 years played both vanilla and modded minecraft, I have never liked the quest modpacks though... as I simply love free-roaming... In which a twitch streamer last year had a modpack of their own and I got to play there, me and 3 others set our goal to make an industry of 4 different settings, the settings were : Actual industry using Immersive Engineering Storage system using AE2 and forcefully apply a super crafting system using the very same system (It required so much power to run than I would ever think of) Magical industry : AKA , Botania, Ars Novua (I don't know how to spell that mods name sadly) And Energy production Eventually we came to our senses as we had managed to do all of this in a week, and the streamer were shocked to see our systems growing by the minute, and eventually we learned that we can not continue down that route, so we decided to make a village and industry area with a dock for massive ships (Cargo ships) By using the mod Create and Redpower with Computer Craft, we eventually got our hands on code locked doors, elevators, on/off switches remotely, we also eventually got to hook up our storage systems using Computer craft, giving others some room to use the AE2 storage (if they yet didn't have it).... So, because of this, I love modpacks way more than vanilla minecraft, it gives you much more to do, and the creativity is much bigger than vanilla game, as of now, I believe everyone is waiting for 1.19 to come out so mods can be updated for that version, very few mods has been updated for 1.18.2, and it shows that everyone is waiting for this

An endgame activity would be to implement not villages, but cities. Make them basically the counterpart to woodland mansions. Super rare, but there is not a map for it. This implements the need to explore your world to the fullest. It’s essentially a cluster of cities where there are a few city exclusive villagers, and you can defend the city from waves of pillagers just like in villages, but the difference is that when defending a city you must face a boss at the end that is exclusive to cities. And, you could implement a sort of quest system. Some are minimal and give normal things like iron, stacks of wood, I’d imagine those are the short quests, while some give you rare materials like diamonds netherite (maybe), and those would be the longer quests. But what I think would really sell this idea would be to implement special, super rare quests that give you UNIQUE items. Like if you did a questline for a blacksmith, eventually once you completed enough quests you’d be rewarded with a special quest that was super long and made you fight like a super mob, which upon completion would give you a sword that is non craft able, (and automatically has mending on it) and the specialty of the sword would be it can shoot ghast bombs or something. There could be different specialties but that’s just the idea of it. Even then, there could be a bounty hunter villager that gives you bounties, which would be basically maps that led to an outlawed villager that was unique and would attack you when you came to kill it. And then once the outlaw was slayed it would drop a unique item or a couple diamonds or something. And then you could go and complete the bounty for tons of emeralds. (that would count for that special achievement for trading 1k emeralds)
