# Iridium Ingots: A step by step guide
#### Step 1: A Netherite Brush
-
"WTF!!! I didn't know brushes were netherite!" I hear you asking. On the iridium smp, all tools (except trident and shield) can be upgraded to a netherite variant. This means bows, crossbows, flint and steel, shears, even brushes. You upgrade a tool the exact same way you upgrade a diamond tool to netherite, combine it, along with a netherite ingot and smithing template inside a smithing table.

Not the end of this guide, but you just need to be in the end to gather any reasonable quantity of iridium metal, so go there with your new brush.
#### Step 3: Mine end stone or any kind of purpur

MINE the block, as in break it like you're using a pickaxe, and it should drop no items (does not have to be naturally generated, you can craft purpur and place it and mine it with brush for this. This means it's working right, and you've officially rolled for a chance to drop an iridium fragment. All purpur blocks have a 1/100 chance to drop a fragment, and end stone has a 1/1000 chance.
