When iron or gold tools or armor are smelted, they will return an amount of nuggets that matches their durability and crafting costs.

Iron and gold horse armor will each return 54 nuggets to match the original recipe using 6 ingots.

Chainmail armor will also return iron nuggets, with a configurable multiplier, at 50% by default.
