Upgrade Netherite with Siftite
Mielon’s Siftite is an equipment upgrade with faster tools, greater durability, and Mini Rift recovery after death. At a Smithing Table, combine Netherite equipment + Siftite Ingot + Siftite Upgrade Smithing Template.
Gather the ingredients
The author lists Siftite Ore among the dimension’s ores and rare Siftite Nuggets among abandoned-portal loot. Those structures also have an author-stated 40% chance to contain an upgrade template. That probability is not a guarantee for an individual visit.
Start with the missing component. If you already have the ingot but lack the template, a structure-focused trip addresses a different need from searching for ore. The checked description does not provide an optimal mining height or a complete ingot-processing recipe, so use the recipe information in your installed setup for that conversion step.
Compare the finished equipment
| Property | Author’s Siftite description | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Tool speed | 20% faster than Netherite | Frequent mining or digging tasks |
| Durability | Increased | Longer use between repairs |
| Base damage | Slightly higher | Exact values depend on the item |
| Armor defense and toughness | Netherite level | Not a blanket defense increase |
| Armor knockback resistance | Increased | A distinct benefit from defense |
| Fire resistance | Siftite equipment is fire resistant | Applies to the equipment |
| Death recovery | Mini Rift returns lost Siftite items | Does not describe recovery of all inventory |
The equipment range includes a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, spear, and full armor set. Choose the item that serves your next task; armor and tools gain different benefits.
Recover equipment after death
After respawning, the author’s description says a Mini Rift appears beside you and returns lost Siftite items. When inventory space runs out, remaining items orbit the player until room becomes available.
The practical action is to make inventory space and collect the returned equipment. The mechanic is described specifically for Siftite, rather than ordinary supplies or every lost item.
Upgrade questions
Does the armor have more defense than Netherite? The author retains Netherite-level defense and toughness while increasing knockback resistance.
Will every abandoned portal contain a template? No. The stated chance is not a guaranteed reward for one structure.
