Upgrading Netherite Armor
On Gaytopia, you can upgrade your Netherite armor and tools a total of 3 times.
Your tools and armor durability will be doubled and their stats, except for the axe, shovel, and hoe.
You can upgrade to Iron Netherite, Gold Netherite, and Diamond Netherite.
Elytras can be upgraded to Netherite, then all the upgraded tiers also, and will grant the protection and durability of the chestplate equivalent.
Diamond Netherite Boots can be combiened with Leather Boots to give them the Reinforced Leather property that allows you to walk through powedered snow as if you were wearing Leather Armor
Crafting Upgraded Ingots
The first thing you will need is an Advanced Crafting Table. You cannot craft the upgraded Ingots without it.
The crafting recipe is as the first image shows.
One Enchanting Table, one Crafting Table, two Redstone Blocks, and 5 Gold Blocks.
Iron Netherite Ingot
To craft an Iron Netherite Ingot, place one Netherite Ingot in the middle of the Advanced Workbench, and surround it with Iron Blocks.
This will result in one Iron Netherite Ingot.
Gold Netherite Ingot
To craft a Gold Netherite Ingot, place one Iron Netherite Ingot in the middle of the Advanced Workbench, and surround it with Gold Blocks.
This will result in one Gold Netherite Ingot.
Diamond Netherite Ingot
To craft a Diamond Netherite Ingot, place one Gold Netherite Ingot in the middle of the Advanced Workbench, and surround it with Diamond Blocks.
This will result in one Diamond Netherite Ingot.

Iron Netherite Upgrade

Known Bugs and Issues
- The only way to repair Netherite tools and armor is with the Mending Enchantment. Upgraded Ingots in an anvil will do nothing. You are able to use a Netherite Ingot in an anvil with an upgraded tool but it will do nothing to repair your tool and will only waste your Netherite Ingot.
- The Unbreaking Enchantment currently does not work on Upgraded Netherite tools.
