Do you think diamond is the strongest material in Minecraft? It used to be, but with the 1.16 update, netherite is now the strongest material. If you need to repair netherite tools like armor, chestplates, pickaxes, swords, or boots, it's easy—you'll just need a second netherite tool of the same type or netherite ingots. Then, you can use the anvil, crafting table, or grindstone to make the repair. This wikiHow discusses the different ways you can fix damaged netherite tools in Minecraft.

Things You Should Know

  • Using the Anvil is the best way to repair netherite tools that have enchantments.
  • Repairing with the Crafting Table or Grindstone will lose any enchantments you have on your tools.
  • You'll need either netherite ingots or a secondary tool of the same type to repair your tool.

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Anvil

Download Article

  1. 1

    Open the Anvil menu. You'll see two open spaces.

    • This is the best method of repairing your netherite tools. This is best utilized when you have enchantments or improvements on your tools that you don't want to lose.
    • You'll need either 2 of the same tool or netherite ingots. Since netherite ingots are a challenge to get, the best time to do this is right before your tool breaks. You can use a pristine and undamaged item to repair your almost broken tool or you can use 4 ingots.
  2. 2

    Place your damaged item and repair material in the grid. The damaged item should go in the leftmost space and the repair material (either another tool of the same type or netherite ingots) goes in the other space.

    • The item on the left is the target item and the item in the space to the right is destroyed.[1]

  3. 3

    Drag and drop the repaired item into your inventory. Any enchantments or improvements on your netherite tool will still be there or improved after you've repaired it.

Method 2

Method 2 of 3:

Crafting Table

Download Article

  1. 1

    Open the Crafting Table menu. While this is the easiest method, you'll lose any enchantments or improvements on your netherite tools.

    • You'll need 2 of the same netherite tool. Their durability will combine and get a 5% repair bonus to give you one item.
  2. 2

    Place your damaged items in the available spaces. You can use any spaces available in the crafting grid, but they have to be the same type of tool.

    • For example, you can use 2 damaged netherite axes to repair each other and make 1 netherite axe.
    • This could be beneficial if you have limited inventory space, as it turns 2 non-stackable items into 1 item.[2]
  3. 3

    Drag and drop the repaired item into your inventory. Since you're using a crafting table, any enchantments or improvements will be lost when you repair the item.

Method 3

Method 3 of 3:

Grindstone

Download Article

  1. 1

    Open the Grindstone menu. You'll see a 1x1 grid that's horizontal.

    • This is similar to using the crafting table where your tools will lose any enchantments or improvements.
  2. 2

    Place your damaged items in the input spots. Both items need to be the same type of tool.

    • For example, you can use 2 damaged netherite axes to repair each other and make 1 netherite axe.
    • This could be useful if you have limited inventory space, as it turns 2 non-stackable items into 1 item.[3]
  3. 3

    Drag and drop the repaired item into your inventory. Since you're using a grindstone, any enchantments or improvements will be lost when you repair the item.

      Tips

      • If you have a Lapis Lazuli, try to get a mending enchantment.[4] You'll need to apply the enchantment to your tool with an Anvil. Once you enchanted the tool with mending, it will repair automatically as you gain experience.
