Gold Ingot

Gold is primarily used to craft clocks, powered rails and for a decorative block or equipment (tools and armor).

Gold equipment is typically impractical as it has extremely low durability, and can only mine stone, cobblestone, coal and slabs. However, gold tools are the fastest at digging of all tools, and as such may be useful if one is in a hurry and has plenty of gold.

Obtained: smelting of Gold Ore, craft from gold block or crafted from gold nugget (in the beta 1.9 pre-release).

Creates: sword, armor, tool, gold block, clock, golden apple, powered rail. Gold is a lower-middle tier armor set. It is not suggested to use it for armor, due to its rarity and rather low durability. However, gold armor in perfect condition blocks a huge amount of damage while it lasts. A point blank TNT explosion on new gold armor does 0 hearts of damage. Despite its rarity Gold had few uses until 1.5 was added and powered rails were added, and its value increased more when powered rails became mandatory in 1.6.

History

 * Before Beta 1.2, gold tools had both low speed and durability. Currently, gold tools have a higher speed than diamond but break twice as fast as wood tools.
