#### 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 with a netherite ingot and smithing template inside a smithing table.

#### Step 2: The End

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 using your netherite brush as if it were a pickaxe, and it should drop no items (it does not have to be naturally generated, you can craft purpur and mine it with the 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. The blocks must be mined in the end, otherwise they will not roll a chance for an iridium fragment.

#### Step 4: Keep Mining

This may take a bit of time, continue on to step 5 when you've dropped your first fragment.

Finally, you have 9 fragments. Now, combine them in a crafting table as if you were making a block of iron, and you'll have your very first iridium chunk.

To finish, smelt the chunk in a furnace and you'll have your very own iridium ingot!
