Key facts:
- Nine nuggets craft one iron ingot.
- Eight nuggets around a torch make a lantern.
- Chains use two nuggets plus an iron ingot.
How to get the Iron Nugget
You can get Iron Nuggets by crafting one iron ingot into nine nuggets, or by smelting iron tools, weapons, or armor. Smelting damaged iron gear gives you a nugget back, which makes it a tidy way to recycle worn-out equipment. Piglins will sometimes barter iron nuggets for gold ingots.
