Gold Ore block in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Mined with: pickaxe Requires at least iron Stack size: 64 In 1 tutorial ↓

Gold Ore lies deep, below Y 32, and in large amounts in badlands; it needs an iron pickaxe and drops Raw Gold. Like every ore, it needs a pickaxe, and the enchantment on that pickaxe changes what it drops. Mining works the same for every ore; the Iron Ore page explains pickaxe tiers, Fortune and Silk Touch.

It is mined with a pickaxe (at least tier iron) and drops Raw Gold.
