Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a gilded sherd?
Place a decorated pottery sherd and a gold nugget together in a crafting grid. The result is a gilded sherd with the same pattern, now with a golden appearance.
Can I remove gold from a gilded sherd without destroying it?
Yes, smelt the gilded sherd in a regular furnace. This removes the gold and returns you the original decorated sherd intact.
What's the difference between smelting and blast furnacing a gilded sherd?
Smelting in a furnace removes gold but keeps the sherd. Using a blast furnace destroys the sherd entirely but recovers the gold nugget instead.
Do I need multiple gold nuggets to gild different sherd patterns?
No, the crafting recipe works the same way for every decorated pottery pattern—one sherd plus one gold nugget makes one gilded sherd.
Can I use Gilded Sherds in decorative pots or vases?
Gilded sherds are decorative blocks themselves and can be placed anywhere in your builds, but they don't combine into pottery vessels like regular sherds do.
What happens if I mine a gilded sherd with a pickaxe?
Gilded sherds drop as items when mined, just like regular decorated pottery sherds—you won't lose the gold.
Is there a way to craft Gilded Sherds in bulk?
You can use the same crafting recipe repeatedly, but there's no special bulk crafting method—you'll need one gold nugget per sherd.
Do Gilded Sherds work with other mods that add pottery?
Gilded Sherds only works with Minecraft's vanilla decorated pottery sherds; compatibility with other pottery mods depends on whether those mods use the same sherd items.
Can I smelt a gilded sherd and then re-gild it?
Yes, once you smelt a gilded sherd back into a regular sherd, you can craft it with another gold nugget to gild it again.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
Gilded Sherds Mod is lightweight and only adds new crafting recipes and block variants, so it should have minimal impact on performance.
