Talk:Gold Nugget

Isn't coal already renewable?

should it maybe be noted that the name for the item is not yet confirmed, considering you don't get any name when you hover over the item -Wally

I have put in some facts about the amount of Gold nuggets you need in order to do certain tasks. Is that ok?BlockBarracade 01:56, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

This probably means that gold will soon cease to be a burdun upon our inventories :D ThunderKnight_Z

I don't think you can consider gold nuggets a true "renewable" resource, because patrolling mobs like Critters don't re-spawn after the chunks initially load anymore. And since the Nether is persistent, wouldn't Zombie Pigmen follow the same spawn rule? If so, there are a limited amount of gold nuggets per map that can potentially drop. -Wax


 * What makes you think that mobs won't respawn after they're killed? That'd completely ruin multiplayer forever. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 10:19, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen this documented by the devs, but I've read it in the forums... Can't remember where, but I'll look into it. It was right after 1.8 came out; I read that patrolling mobs like Critters are now spawned with the initial chunk loading only, something to do with the future emphasis that will be placed on breeding... I think I read about this in some of the threads discussing how to breed chickens via throwing eggs in "pens," because people were trying to figure out how they'd have enough food.... -Wax


 * EDIT: Here, check out this link -- http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/619068-chicken-farming/ "As of 1.8, animals no longer despawn. However, there is a limited amount of animals per chunk. After the chunk is generated, no new animals spawn." ...Now like I said, I haven't read this from an "official" source, so I don't know if it's correct. I just assumed it was, and figured everyone already knew about it, and it was just something I missed earlier on in patch notes. -Wax
