Iron Nugget

Iron nuggets are a crafting material obtained by smelting iron tools, weapons, and armor in a furnace or by crafting one iron ingot into nine nuggets. They can also be found in bastion remnants, ruined portal chests, and looted from piglin bartering in Bedrock Edition.

Iron nuggets are primarily used to craft iron ingots, with nine nuggets combining into one ingot. They are also required for crafting lanterns, soul lanterns, and chains, making them useful for lighting and decoration.

Due to their ability to be obtained from smelting iron gear, iron nuggets provide a way to recycle unwanted iron tools and armor, making them a valuable resource for efficient material management in Minecraft.
