You can find Ancient Debris if you travel to the Nether. To get to the Nether, you will need 10 Obsidian blocks to build the Nether Portal. You will also need a Netherite or Diamond pickaxe to mine for Ancient Debris. Once you are all ready, you can start mining for them. To do that, after entering the Nether, you will have to start digging downwards to lower the Y coordinate. The best levels to get Ancient Debris is anywhere between 15 – 30 and below Y coordinate. You can identify Ancient Debris from its pale brown color and a swirl design above and below the block. An easy way to farm is to reach Y 14 and start strip mining by digging a 1×2 hole as far away as possible. Then you can place either a TNT in the hole to widen the gap, or place a piston and composter to push you downwards. Ancient Debris is very tough, so it will not break down when placed with an explosive.
If you wish to take an easier route, you can find Bastion Remnants around the Nether, and you can open them to get Ancient Debris. There is no fixed drop for them, and not every chest will contain Ancient Debris. Normal and Treasure Chests will have a better chance of dropping Ancient Debris than Hoglin Stable Chests.
You can use Ancient Debris in the Furnace to smelt it and get Netherite Scraps. You will need four Netherite Scraps and four Gold Ingots to craft one Netherite Ingot. Now you can take your Netherite Ingot to the Smithing Table to upgrade your Diamond gear into a Netherite gear.
