Nether Brick

A Nether brick is an item made by smelting netherrack in a furnace, and is used to craft the Nether bricks block and its variants.

Nether brick can be smelted from netherrack.

Piglins may barter 2 to 8 Nether brick items with a chance of ~8.53% (40⁄469) when given a gold ingot. Apart from netherrack that generates on floating portals in Bedrock Edition, bartering is the only renewable source of Nether bricks.
