Spontaneous Explosions

I cannot express enough how excited I am for netherite.  Not only is it a change I nether thought I'd see(replacing diamond as the best), but they're also making it really really hard(or at least really tedious) to upgrade to the netherite tool set, even for experienced players on longtime worlds.

Also the fact that you have to craft it with 4 gold ingots to get one netherite ingot is great. It's similar to the tool advancement system in Terraria.

And if they add another purpose for netherite blocks other than storage(like anyone has time to collect that stuff) or decoration, it'd better be really good.

I would say if you power a beacon with it, you get some sort of extra buff, or option, idk.

I think the Nether Update will actually be the best update, and won't be topped for years. It's the first update in forever that added an extra 'step' to the game, if you get my meaning.
