Gold nuggets are a metal used to craft Redstone Latches and other items. They are primarily obtained by smelting or farming Zombie Pigmen.

Obtaining

• Gold nuggets can be freely converted to and from Gold Ingots in the crafting grid, as well as in the Crucible.
• Gold nuggets and ingots can also be obtained by smelting down golden tools, armor, and other items in the crucible, recovering 67% of the gold used in the item.

Zombie Pigmen

• Zombie Pigmen have a small chance to drop a gold nugget when killed in the nether.
• Zombie pigmen holding a gold sword have a high chance to drop it when killed, which greatly increases their value as a gold source if the player has access to a crucible.
