How to Craft Netherite Opal Tools and Armour
What Netherite Opal Gear Is
Netherite Opal is the upgraded tier of the Black Opal line. The Netherite Opal set includes:
- Netherite Opal Sword
- Netherite Opal Pickaxe
- Netherite Opal Axe
- Netherite Opal Shovel
- Netherite Opal Hoe
- Netherite Opal Helmet
- Netherite Opal Chestplate
- Netherite Opal Leggings
- Netherite Opal Boots
These are produced through smithing recipes, which combine a base item with an upgrade material at a smithing table.
Progression Steps
1. Mine Black Opal Ore, Deepslate Black Opal Ore, Nether Black Opal Ore or End Black Opal Ore with a pickaxe to obtain Black Opal.
2. Craft the Black Opal tool or armour piece you want to upgrade — for example, a Black Opal Chestplate or Black Opal Pickaxe.
3. Take the Black Opal piece and the Netherite Opal upgrade material to a smithing table and apply the smithing recipe to produce the matching Netherite Opal item.
Practical Notes
- Upgrade in the same order you crafted: pickaxe first, then sword and armour.
- Keep spare Black Opal pieces on hand so you can upgrade several items in one session.
- The smithing recipe preserves the item type, so a Black Opal Helmet becomes a Netherite Opal Helmet.
