Gold Nugget

The Gold Nugget is an item dropped from Zombie Pigmen, and can be crafted into Gold ingots, making Gold a renewable ore.

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. If the pigmen's swords are fashioned in the same way as the craftable golden sword, it would mean that only 1/18th of the gold from the sword is salvaged.


 * It takes 648 nuggets to get the 8 gold blocks for a golden apple. It takes 331,776 nuggets to craft a stack of 64 Golden apples, and it takes 8,957,951 nuggets to fill up an entire large Chest with stacks of 64 of Golden Apples. Consequently, if the United States were to repay their debt in Minecraft gold nuggets instead of dollars, they'd need more than 1,641,589 large chests full of stacks of 64 Golden Apples.
