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

 * On some servers without a money system, Gold is used as a currency as 81 nuggets = 9 ingots = 1 gold block allowing for goods to be purchased.
 * 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 the metal block, the third tier of armor, the third tier of tools, and the Glistering Melon to the Renewable Resources list.
 * It takes 81 gold nuggets to craft a single gold block, a whopping 648 nuggets to craft a single golden apple, 41,472 gold nuggets to make an entire stack of 64 golden apples, 2,239,488 gold nuggets to fill a large chest entirely with stacks of 64 golden apples, and 286,654,464 gold nuggets to fill 64 large chests entirely with stacks of 64 golden apples.
