What Turns into Netherite?

To turn Ancient Debris into Netherite, you need to smelt it in a Furnace or Blast Furnace to obtain Netherite Scraps, and then combine 4 Netherite Scraps with 4 Gold Ingots in a Crafting Table to create a Netherite Ingot. This Netherite Ingot can then be used to upgrade Diamond tools and armor into Netherite items using a Smithing Table.
