Netherite Nuggets
Netherite Nuggets lets a player turn Netherite Ingots into nine nuggets and back, and makes Piglin Brutes drop a nugget when they die.
What it does
Netherite Nuggets adds a Netherite Nugget item that can be crafted from a Netherite Ingot and back again, with nine nuggets making one ingot. The author added the nugget because repairing gear with full ingots was considered too costly, so smaller pieces make repairs cheaper. Netherite Nuggets is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Piglin Brutes are the main source of the nugget. Each brute has a configurable chance to drop a single nugget when it dies, set from 0% to 100% in the config folder. The mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings in game. Files are published for Fabric for 1.19 – 1.20.4 across 8 release versions, and the latest is 1.6.2 for 1.20.4.
Key features
Nugget and ingot crafting
One Netherite Ingot crafts into nine Netherite Nuggets, and nine nuggets craft back into one ingot.
Piglin Brute nugget drops
Piglin Brutes have a chance to drop a single Netherite Nugget when they die, which makes their loot less tedious.
Configurable drop chance
The Piglin Brute drop chance can be set anywhere from 0% to 100% through the config folder.
Throwable fire-safe items
Netherite Nuggets are fire resistant, so they can be thrown into lava or fire without burning.

How it compares
Netherite Ingot Armor is client and server, runs on Fabric and Forge, and targets 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, so it adds armor rather than nugget crafting. Easy Netherite is server-side only, has a Fabric build for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and is not open source, so players can join without installing it. Yet Another Hammer Mod (YAHM) is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and built for Fabric 1.20.1, so it covers tools rather than nuggets.
