	*In ''Xbox 360 Edition'', before TU19, four blocks of gold stacked on top of an obsidian block could be found inside the tutorial world's desert pyramid. This is a reference to [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Achievement Hunter\|Achievement Hunter's]] ''Let's Play Minecraft'' series, in which this combination is used to create the "Tower of Pimps" (seen right), a structure first created by [[Minecraft:wikipedia:Gavin Free\|Gavin Free]], which is now used in many episodes as a trophy.		*In ''Xbox 360 Edition'', before TU19, four blocks of gold stacked on top of an obsidian block could be found inside the tutorial world's desert pyramid.

	*If one block is considered to be equal to one cubic meter, then one block of gold has a mass of 19,320 kilograms, making it the heaviest real-world matter available in vanilla ''Minecraft'' if [[Minecraft:element]] blocks are not considered. A player's inventory has 37 slots (including the offhand slot), and each can carry 64 blocks of gold; therefore, a player can carry a maximum number of 45,749.76 metric tons of mass, not considering armor or putting things in shulker boxes (theoretically increasing the mass by 27 times).
