Renewable resource

A renewable resource is a resource that can be recreated indefinitely without exploiting glitches (as opposed to a nonrenewable resource). While running out of resources isn't likely to be a factor due to practically infinite (and still quite vast in theory) map generation, this is a list of resources that can be produced over and over without having to explore for more. However, running out of resources can be a bigger issue on Superflat worlds, where resources are less plentiful.

The listed fully renewable products are items which can be crafted or smelted using only renewable resources. Note that TNT and arrows are crafted from a combination of renewable and non-renewable resources (sand and flint).

Renewable resources
Resources that can be obtained indefinitely. These may require nonrenewable materials in they production, but the process will never waste those materials.

Tradeable
Resources that naturally would be nonrenewable, but can be obtained through trading with villagers.

Renewable, but consume nonrenewable resources
These resources can be made infinitely, but require one use of a nonrenewable items/resources.
