How to Craft Netherite Boots in Minecraft

Netherite Boots in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Best foot protection: 3 armor, 3 toughness, 1 knockback resistance. Minecraft has used the name Netherite Boots since 1.16.

Making Netherite Boots takes 1 Netherite Upgrade Template, 1 Netherite Ingot, and 1 Diamond Boots at a Smithing Table. You end up with 1 Netherite Boots each time. It holds up for 481 uses before it breaks.

Netherite Boots Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Netherite Boots is minecraft:netherite_boots. In commands the namespace may be left off, so netherite_boots works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p netherite_boots
Give several at once
/give @p netherite_boots 5
Give it to a named player
/give Steve netherite_boots 1

Cheats have to be on for Netherite Boots to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Repairing Netherite Boots

An anvil and Netherite Ingot will restore Netherite Boots long before its 481 uses run out, and nothing enchanted on it is lost in the process.

There is a cheaper way, and a catch. A grindstone merges two worn Netherite Boots items without costing levels, but it removes every enchantment while it does so.

Mending can go on Netherite Boots, and that is the only repair that costs nothing at all: the experience you pick up flows into the item instead of into your own level, so it never sees an anvil again.

Overview

Netherite Boots provide 3 armor points, 3 toughness and 1 knockback resistance with 481 durability. Netherite Boots is made at a Smithing Table by combining a template, a base item, and an upgrade material.

Minecraft have used the name Netherite Boots since 1.16, the oldest release whose language file lists it.
