Gold Nugget

A Gold Nugget is an item from vanilla Minecraft that is also used in the Lord of the Rings Mod.

Obtaining
Gold Nuggets can be obtained from various treasure chests, such as in Ruined Dúnedain Towers, Ruined Houses, and rich Hobbit Holes. In addition, you can also turn a Gold Ingot into nine Gold Nugget. A more unconventional way of finding Gold Nuggets, however, is to obtain Mystery Webs by slaying Mirkwood Spiders, or digging up Remains in the Dead Marshes.

Some NPC's, such as Dunlending Bartenders, occasionally drop Gold Nuggets upon death.

Uses
The most important use for Gold Nuggets is making the Gold Ring, which, in turn, is used to make the Ring Portal. Other, less important uses for Gold Nuggets include making a Golden Carrot (to breed horses), giving them to a Dwarf who requires them, and for making a Red Book, if you lost the one you spawned with, or you're playing in Multiplayer.

Gold Nuggets can't be sold directly, but they can be sold to a Blacksmith of Rohan or Gondor if you convert nine of them into a Gold Ingot.
