Recycling
Worn iron and gold tools, armor and buckets melt back down in the Bloomery, the Iron Furnace and the Nether Forge. You get back metal for the durability they have left.

An item at full durability gives back the metal it was crafted with, and a worn one gives back the share of durability it has left. Whole ingots go to the output, and the rest comes out as nuggets. An iron pickaxe gives 3 ingots when new, and 1 ingot and 4 nuggets when half worn.
Items without durability, like buckets and horse armor, always give everything back. Pieces that aren't crafted with ingots have their own values, in nuggets (9 = 1 ingot):
| Piece | Nuggets |
|---|---|
| Chainmail helmet | 22 |
| Chainmail chestplate | 36 |
| Chainmail leggings | 31 |
| Chainmail boots | 18 |
| Horse armor (nautilus armor on 26.x) | 63 |
| Bucket | 27 |
On 26.x, copper gear melts down too.
