Nether gold ore drops 2-6 gold nuggets when mined with any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. Fortune has a 33.3% chance to multiply the drops by 2, Fortune II has a 25% chance to multiply the drops by 2 or 3 and Fortune III has a 20% chance each to multiply the drops by 2, 3, or 4 for a maximum possible drop of 24 golden nuggets. The average number of nuggets from Fortune III is 8.8, which is less than an ingot; therefore it is slightly more efficient to mine Nether gold ore with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]] and smelt it into gold ingots.

Template:Infobox block Nether gold ore is a type of Minecraft:gold ore found in Minecraft:the Nether that drops Minecraft:gold nuggets instead of Minecraft:raw gold when broken. As with other Minecraft:gold blocks, breaking Nether gold ore will anger nearby Minecraft:piglins.

Obtaining

Breaking

Nether gold ore requires a pickaxe to be mined. If mined with any other tool or by hand, it drops nothing.

Template:Breaking row

Nether gold ore drops 2-6 Minecraft:gold nuggets when mined with any Minecraft:pickaxe. Minecraft:Fortune has a 33.3% chance to multiply the drops by 2, Fortune II has a 25% chance to multiply the drops by 2 or 3 and Fortune III has a 20% chance each to multiply the Minecraft:drops by 2, 3, or 4 for a maximum possible drop of 24 golden nuggets. The average number of nuggets from Fortune III is 8.8, which is less than an ingot; therefore it is slightly more efficient to mine Nether gold ore with Minecraft:Silk Touch and smelt it into Minecraft:gold ingots.

Nether gold ore attempts to replace Minecraft:netherrack 10 times per Minecraft:chunk in blobs of size 0–16, from levels 10 to 117, in all Nether biomes.

Piglins

Minecraft:Piglins become hostile toward Minecraft:players that mine the ore, regardless if the player is wearing Minecraft:gold Minecraft:armor or is under the Minecraft:invisibility effect. The same case applies if the player mines gold of any type, not just the ore. If any Nether gold ore is dropped and in its item form, piglins run toward any Nether gold ore and examine it for 6 to 8 seconds after picking it up.
