Gold Ore

''This article is about Gold Ore. For the block, see Gold (Block). For the Ingot, see Gold (Ingot).''

Gold ore is commonly found by stone blocks deep underground, generally in a vein of 2-6 blocks (sometimes up to 10 if two veins so happen to spawn together). It shows up at elevations ranging from 0 (the bottom of the map) to 35 (about halfway between sea level and the bottom of the map). Up to 32 it is found in 0.1% of rock, above 32 its abundance falls sharply. It can be mined using an iron or diamond pickaxe. Gold ore can be smelted in a furnace to create gold ingots. Tools made with gold will mine much faster than diamond, however because of its very low durability it is more used for showing off than its value on items/armor. It can also be used to create a watch and a powered rail.

Trivia

 * It can be placed in Classic as of version 0.28, but is still usable if found thanks to the "Copy Block" tool.
 * In Classic it could be found at much higher elevations, sometimes even at the surface
 * In multiplayer, diamond and gold ore can sometimes be generated in unusually large clusters.
