Renewable resource

A renewable resource is a resource that can be recreated indefinitely without exploiting glitches (as opposed to a non-renewable 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. 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).

Tradeable
Resources that in normal circunstances 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.
