An Iron Nugget is an item in Minecraft that was added in update 1.11.1. It is made by putting an Iron Ingot into a crafting grid, which breaks down the ingot into nine nuggets, or by smelting iron and chain Armor, or iron tools, in a Furnace. Since iron nuggets can be obtained from iron ingots, they are renewable, since Iron Golems (and occasionally zombies) drop iron ingots upon death. Village chests may contain iron nuggets in them. Iron Nuggets are also used in creating lanterns.
