Gold Nugget

The Gold Nugget is an item that was first introduced in the 1.9 Pre-release. These are obtained by killing Zombie Pigmen, and can be crafted into Gold ingots, making Gold a renewable ore. A gold nugget can be crafted with a melon slice to make a Glistering Melon.

Trivia

 * Since Zombie Pigmen carry golden swords with them, it is likely that the gold nuggets are pieces from the destroyed swords since they are not dropped upon death. Only 1/18th of the gold from pigmen's swords are salvaged (assuming 100% drop rate).


 * With the addition of the gold nugget, gold has become a renewable resource, adding a metal block, a second tier of armor, a third tier of tools, and the Glistering Melon to the Renewable Resources list.
