With the addition of Netherite Upgrades being required to upgrade gear from Diamond to Netherite in 1.20, I felt as though the process for upgrading gear to Netherite was too pricey and not really justified, since ancient debris is already very rare, the additional armour and knockback resistance netherite gains is a small amount, Bastions are extremely dangerous even for a fully-geared player since Piglin Brutes do armour-piercing damage, and Netherite Upgrades aren't guaranteed to generate in the Bastions, meaning you likely have to visit several.



This datapack aims to remedy this by changing the Netherite Ingot recipe to only require one Netherite Scrap. The amount of Gold Ingots required is unchanged, and you additionally need 4 Iron Ingots.
