Iron Nuggets are Items that may be added in Update 1.1.
An Iron Nugget is an item in Minecraft that was added to Minecraft in the 16w50a snapshot. 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 as Iron Golems drop Iron Ingots upon dying.
