When I opened my survival world (created in 1.16 initially) in 1.17 for the first time, I went mining for netherite, but after approximately 2 hours I couldn't find any. In my other worlds, I could find plenty, so I used an Xray and it turned out that there was no netherite in my survival world. Not at all. (I should have saved my world before opening it in a new version :/)
So I think that this bug only affects worlds switched from 1.16 to 1.17, since the worlds I create in 1.17 have netherite in them.
Thanks for your support.

The parts that are generated before 1.16 don't have netherrite in them as it didn't exist at the time of generation. (the chunks aren't regenerated, asking that would be a feature request)
Ok so I just have to go far away from my spawn, in new areas of nether, and hopefully I will get netherite
Thank you
I thought he said his world was originally generated after update 1.16....... that IS the Nether update, therefore the netherite should have spawned.
Any part of the nether generated before 1.16 would not contain netherite, gold, or have any biome other than what we now call the nether wastes (basically, that update contained all those features). In such a zone, none of the new mobs would generate (piglins, hoglins, striders), but you'd still get zombie pigmen which were replaced with piglins during the update. As said, you'd only get the new nether features by moving further, new areas would have to be generated as per the update, not the old generation.
That's pretty unlucky. I've mined for netherite since the update and I've gotten some reasonably easily (using the exploding beds method for quickness), like 3 ingots worth in three hours. If this is the case, you should delete this world and begin a new one. But, you're right to report this because worlds should not generate without such an essential resource.
