Get additional netherite scraps by using a fortune pickaxe on ancient debris. For balance, you don't get xp from mining ancient debris, and netherite is slightly more expensive (five scraps instead of four).

Silk touch and explosions will still give you the ancient debris block, and you can still smelt the block for xp.

Note: There are two versions--one for Minecraft 1.20-1.20.4 and another for 1.20.5+. Make sure you download the correct version from Modrinth.
