If players think that diamond armor is the best armor they can possibly craft, they have another thing coming. Behold the Ancient Debris, possibly the rarest block in all of Minecraft. And for good measure, because it gives the most potent item for tools and armor, the Netherite. Ancient Debris can rarely be found in Nether waste biomes.

It can be smelted to obtain Netherite Scrap. Nether Scrap crafts with Gold Ingots to get Netherite Ingot, which then gets added onto various diamond tools to make them even stronger.
