Template:Infobox block A block of gold, internally known as a gold block, is a precious Minecraft:metal block equivalent to nine Minecraft:gold ingots.

Obtaining

Breaking

Blocks of gold can only be mined with an iron pickaxe or better. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Minecraft:Ocean monuments have a central room containing 8 blocks of gold encased in Minecraft:dark prismarine.

Generated loot

Template:LootChestItem

Crafting

Template:Crafting

Usage

Blocks of gold are a compact way to store Minecraft:gold ingots.

Beacons

Blocks of gold can be used to "power" a Minecraft:beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square with blocks of gold underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely made with blocks of gold, as they may also contain Minecraft:blocks of iron, Minecraft:blocks of emerald, Minecraft:blocks of netherite, and Minecraft:blocks of diamond.

Piglins

Minecraft:Piglins run toward any block of gold item on the ground and inspect it for 6 seconds Template:In or 8 seconds Template:In<ref>Template:Bug</ref> before putting it in their inventory. They become enraged if the player breaks a block of gold near them.

Trivia

File:Tower of Pimps.png
  • 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 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 Gavin Free, which is now used in many episodes as a trophy.
  • 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).
