Netherite is the strongest gear tier, made by upgrading diamond equipment. It survives lava and does not burn, and it floats, so dropped netherite is hard to lose.
Finding It
Mine Ancient Debris in the Nether, most common around Y 15. Because the Nether is wall-to-wall lava, use beds to blast-mine carefully or dig methodically with fire resistance. Smelt debris into Netherite Scrap, combine with gold for a Netherite Ingot, then upgrade diamond gear at a smithing table.
