Greetings.
I am a man in a suit who has fallen into the world of Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
In the previous episode, I went to see the Warden and lost everything.
A complete loss still hurts, no matter how many times one survives it.
My full Netherite armor and best tools were gone, so I had to begin again.
When I checked how to rebuild them, I discovered that the process for making Netherite equipment had changed.
I set out to gather ancient debris first.
After finally collecting enough, I ended the expedition by falling straight into lava.
Starting again with equipment and tools
My audience with the Warden ended in a complete loss.
I had underestimated the Warden.
I thought hiding behind blocks would protect me, only to learn that its sonic attack passed straight through them.
My Netherite equipment and every other first-choice item were gone.
I began with new diamond equipment and tools.
Then I gathered experience and added enchantments.
### Gathering ancient debris for new Netherite equipment
It had been a long time since I made Netherite equipment.
While researching ancient debris, I learned that the upgrade process had changed.
I now needed smithing templates from a bastion remnant.
Each upgrade consumed one template, so I would also need spare copies.
Duplicating one required seven diamonds.
The cost had risen dramatically while I was away.
Collecting the ancient debris alone was already difficult.
Still, I carried as many beds as I could and entered the Nether.
I wanted to upgrade nine pieces of equipment, which meant I needed nine Netherite ingots.
Each ingot required four Netherite scraps, so my target was thirty-six pieces of ancient debris.
I used bed explosions to open the surrounding netherrack.
The explosions were dramatic.
I could have mined with a pickaxe, but I preferred this method because hidden lava often caused trouble.
The first piece appeared quickly.
The article information I followed placed ancient debris around heights eight through twenty-two.
When one block appeared, I carefully dug around it because more could be nearby.
Finding three together was especially satisfying.
Checking each crater was always tense.
Sometimes the explosions revealed nothing at all.
Eventually, I reached thirty-seven pieces and ended the search.
It had taken a long time.
I was delighted and ready to return to the base.
Immediately afterward, I stepped into a hole.
I fell into lava and could not climb back out.
Although I was devastated, ancient debris would not burn in lava.
I returned to the village, brewed a Potion of Fire Resistance, and came back to the Nether.
I remembered the approximate location, drank the potion, and jumped into the lava to search.
In my panic, I did not notice the exact moment I picked it up.
Still, the ancient debris was safely back in my inventory.
I narrowly avoided losing the result of hours of work.
The journey is not over until one gets home, and this was a painful reminder never to relax too soon.
That is all for this time.
Greetings.
