Netherite gear is the most powerful gear in the game. But for some reason, it is very easy to obtain. Any average player can obtain Netherite gear within a few hours of starting a new survival world. It is only fair that the toughest material in the game should be much harder to obtain. Hardcore Netherite Mod does that for you. This mod makes Netherite much harder to obtain by introducing multiple stages for ancient debris, netherite scrap and ingots. This means you may have to purify these items by smelting them multiple times before they can be used.
