Gold Block in Minecraft

Gold is a mineral that can be found in both the Overworld and the Nether. It is naturally generated as gold ore that can be then smelted into gold ingots. Gold ingots can then be crafted into blocks, armor, and tools.

How to obtain gold?


It is most commonly found underground but can also be generated in structures such as bastion remnants, ocean monuments, and ruined portals. Gold has multiple forms in Minecraft. It starts out as a block of gold ore that is mined with a pickaxe to drop raw gold. Raw gold is then smelted into a gold ingot with the help of a furnace. Gold ingots are the most common state of gold, and are used for making tools, armor, food, and other blocks.
