Frequently asked questions

How do I start recycling gold items?
Place any gold-based item in a furnace or blast furnace just like you would smelt ore. The furnace will process it and return either a gold ingot or gold nugget depending on the item's crafting cost.
What items can I recycle?
You can recycle gold-based items including clocks, powered rails, gold blocks, and other crafted gold items. Raw gold ore can also be smelted normally; this data pack expands recycling to finished goods.
Why do some items give ingots and others give nuggets?
Items that require four or more gold ingots to craft will yield one ingot when recycled, while cheaper items return nuggets. Clocks are an exception and always return nuggets due to their unique crafting recipe.
Do clocks always recycle into nuggets?
Yes, clocks always recycle into gold nuggets, even though they contain gold in their recipe. This is intentional due to the clock's crafting mechanics.
