Mass-Produce Arrows Efficiently Using Nuggets

Nugget-Based Recipes

Iron and gold arrows use nuggets instead of full ingots, letting you craft four arrows at a time with minimal material investment. Smelt down excess iron and gold ore into ingots, then craft those ingots into nuggets at a crafting table. Each nugget recipe yields nine nuggets per ingot, so one iron ingot becomes enough for multiple arrow batches.

Setting Up Production

Gather stacks of feathers and sticks—these are the bottleneck for arrow production, not metal. Feathers drop from chickens and parrots; sticks come from breaking leaves or crafting wood. Once you have a reliable feather and stick supply, convert your ore surplus into nuggets and batch-craft arrows.

Copper arrows also use nuggets in newer game versions, making them equally efficient. Store completed arrows in a chest organized by type. This approach turns ore you'd otherwise ignore into a renewable combat resource without requiring rare materials like diamonds for every batch.
