y 15. ancient debris sits roughly between 8 and 22 and is almost never exposed to air, so wandering around nether caves finds next to nothing. strip mine at 15, or better, blast. debris is blast-resistant, so tnt clears the netherrack and leaves it standing. beds explode in the nether too if you're short on tnt, just don't be standing next to one when you click it.
