About Copper Nugget

The Copper Nugget is a small piece of copper, similar to iron and gold nuggets. It is the nugget form of a copper ingot, used mostly for storing or splitting copper into smaller amounts.

Key facts:

  • Nine Copper Nuggets craft into one Copper Ingot.
  • One Copper Ingot crafts into nine Copper Nuggets.
  • Stacks to 64, so a full stack holds just over seven ingots worth of copper.

Copper Nuggets do not oxidise and cannot be placed as blocks.

How to get Copper Nugget

You get Copper Nuggets by crafting them from a Copper Ingot. Place one Copper Ingot anywhere in a crafting grid to receive nine nuggets. There is no direct smelting recipe for nuggets, and they do not drop from mobs or generate in chests, so crafting is the only way to obtain them.
