Gold Nugget Recycling
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Gold Nugget Recycling lets you smelt most gold-requiring items into Gold Nuggets. This can be useful when you craft too many Powered Rails or when you want some gold back from your Golden Carrots.
For Iron Nuggets check out Iron Nugget Recycling!
