What resources are (technically) finite in Minecraft?

Arqade Asked on July 24, 2021

Most resources in Minecraft are infinite. Plants regrow, animals reproduce, mobs respawn. water sources can also become infinite, based on their placement. Even stone is infinite through the combination of flowing lava and water, and then smelting.

But there are some resources that do not have a natural “reproductive” quality. Eg, lava cannot replace another source block like water can.

What other resources in Minecraft do not have this quality?

One Answer

According to the Minecraft Wiki category for non-renewable resources:

Ancient Debris
Block of Diamond
Budding Amethyst
Coal Ore
Cobweb
Conduit
Copper ore
Dead Bush
Deepslate (and derivatives)
Diamond
Diamond Ore
Dragon Egg
Dragon head
Elytra
Emerald Ore
Enchanted Golden Apple
Enchantment Table
Gold Ore
Heart of the Sea
Horse Armor (except leather)
Iron Ore
Jukebox
Lapis Lazuli Ore
Minecart with TNT
Nether Quartz Ore
Netherite and all Netherite-derived items
Netherite block
Netherrack
Raw Copper
Raw Gold
Raw Iron
Redstone Ore
Sand
Sandstone (and variants)
Sponge
TNT

Note that this list is not perfect; the original from the wiki contained some PE exclusive blocks (I have edited these out), and it may not contain all items from the 1.9 update of Minecraft. I have also removed items unobtainable in the survival mode inventory.

If you find any more, or feel that a block should be added/removed from the list, please feel free to edit this post.
