So, you're after the toughest material in Minecraft – Netherite! Forget diamonds, this is the real endgame. But strip mining in the Nether can be a pain if you're not at the right altitude. What's the secret? The sweet spot is **Y level -15**.
While Netherite can technically spawn anywhere between Y levels -64 and -8, it's significantly more common around -15. Think of it like a hidden layer cake – -15 is where the most delicious Netherite frosting lies!
Why -15? The generation algorithms favor this level. While you might find the occasional Ancient Debris (the ore you need for Netherite) higher or lower, you'll maximize your chances by focusing your efforts at -15. Grab your diamond pickaxe (Netherite is better, if you already have it!), some Fire Resistance potions, and start digging! Happy mining!
