Minecraft:Gold Ore: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:50, 9 April 2026

Template:Infobox block Gold ore is a rare mineral block found underground that drops raw gold when mined with an iron pickaxe or better.

Deepslate gold ore is a variant of gold ore that can generate in Minecraft:deepslate and Minecraft:tuff.

Obtaining

Breaking

Gold ore drops one raw gold if mined by an iron pickaxe or higher. If mined by any other Minecraft:tool, it drops nothing. Mining with a Minecraft:Silk Touch pickaxe drops the ore block. It is affected by Fortune enchantment, dropping 1–2, 1–3, or 1–4 raw gold respectively with Fortune I, II, and III.

Natural generation

Template:See also

Gold ore can generate in the Minecraft:Overworld in the form of ore features.

Gold ore attempts to generate in two batches. The first batch generates 4 times per chunk in blobs of 0—13 blocks, from levels -64 to 32. It is most likely to be found around layer -16, becoming less common toward either end of the range. The second batch has a probability of 1/2 per chunks to generate in blobs of 0—13 blocks that generate uniformly between -64 and -48. There is also an extra batch of gold ore in badlands biomes that generates 50 times per chunk in blobs of 0—13 blocks, from 32 to 256 uniformly. Gold ore is also less likely to be exposed to air: 50% of ore blocks from the first and second batch do not generate. The extra batch in badlands generates regardless of exposure to air.

Gold ore can replace Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:tuff, and Minecraft:deepslate. Any gold ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate gold ore.

Template:Block distribution

Usage

The primary usage of gold ore is to mine it for raw gold.

Smelting ingredient

Template:Smelting

Piglins

Minecraft:Piglins become hostile toward players who mine gold ore, even if the player is wearing golden Minecraft:armor or under the Minecraft:Invisibility effect. Piglins also run toward any gold ore 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.

Note blocks

Gold ore can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb gold ore and deepslate gold ore, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the medicine ball/slow flat effect to the mob when hitting it.
