Renewable resource

A renewable resource is a resource that can be recreated indefinitely in survival without exploiting glitches (as opposed to a non-renewable resource). While running out of resources isn't likely to be a factor due to theoretically infinite (and still quite vast in practice) 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. For example, Cookies are renewable as they only require Wheat and Cocoa Beans that can be regrown infinitely, while Brick Blocks aren't because they require Bricks smelted from Clay, which is not renewable.

Renewable resources
Resources that can be obtained indefinitely. Some require non-renewable materials in their production, but the process will never consume those materials.

Rare drops
These items are only occasionally dropped by monsters, so getting them quickly or in quantity is normally done by mining, then smelting/crafting non-renewable resources (mob farms being an option).

Tradable
Resources that in normal circumstances would be non-renewable, except that they can be obtained through trading with villagers.

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

Planned Renewable Resources
These items are renewable, however, they are only in snapshots and prereleases. An official update has yet to display them.

Nonrenewable Resources
These items are not renewable without exploring more of the map.

Finite Nonrenewable Resources
These items are not renewable in any way whatsoever, an infinite amount of terrain can be generated with no chance of generating any more of these resources than exist in a certain finite area.
