Iron and Gold Nugget Removal
Its my belief that nuggets mostly just end up clogging inventory and storage space without really serving a unique purpose, so as part of my Inventory Update, I am removing them. This page will list out necessary changes that would need to be made to accommodate their absence.
Recipes
Smelting Iron or Gold Equipment - Will now result in a single ingot instead of a single nugget.
Chains - Made from two iron ingots placed in a vertical line, and will result in 2 chains.
Lanterns and Soul Lanterns - Made from 4 iron ingots in placed around a torch or soul torch. Will create 4 lanterns or soul lanterns if a soul torch was used.
Golden Carrots and Glistering Melon Slices - Both are removed as part of my Food Update and Potion Update.
Fireworks - The star firework shape will instead be provided by redstone dust instead of golden nuggets.
Loot
Chest Loot - Nuggets will be replaced with ingots in chests albeit at a lower quantity for balance.
Piglin Bartering - Iron nuggets will be replaced by iron ingots for piglin bartering. Honestly the fact you can get iron nuggets in exchange for an entire gold ingot is a bit lame as a concept to me.
Zombie Piglin Drops - Will drop a gold ingot instead of gold nuggets, with a base 1% chance of dropping a gold ingot. Levels of looting will increase this chance but will not increase the number of ingots dropped beyond one.
Nether Gold Ore - Mimics the behavior of normal gold ore. Nether gold ore may need to have its spawns be reduced for balance, however considering that nether gold ore blocks can be smelted into ingots in vanilla, there shouldn't be that big of a balance change.
Gilded Blackstone - Has the same behavior as vanilla, except instead of dropping gold nuggets, it drops a single gold ore chunk, with identical drop chances to nuggets.
