Mining for ancient debris
593K–1.78M coins/hrVIA AH · LIVE
TNT mining for ancient debris is the classic DonutSMP netherite method. Ancient debris is blast resistant, so blowing up the nether between Y 8 and Y 22 exposes it without destroying it. Much of the nether near spawn has already been mined, so travel further out or use pre-blasted areas that others gave up on. The terminal subtracts the TNT cost per debris found so the coins per hour figure is a real net number. Bring fire resistance, a good pickaxe, and expect the rate to swing a lot depending on how fresh the chunks are.
