Gold Ingot


 * This article is about Gold Ingots. For the ore, see Gold (Ore). For the block, see Gold (Block).

Obtained: smelting of gold ore or craft from gold block.

Creates: sword, armor, tool, gold block, clock, golden apple, powered rails.

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

Gold equipment is typically impractical as it has extremely low durability. 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.

'''Note: Even though gold tools are the fastest tools, the golden pickaxe does not harvest diamond, redstone, lapis lazuli and iron. Do not be fooled. It will take a lot longer than normal and it will not yield a block. Switch to an iron or diamond pickaxe when you find these ores.'''

History

 * When gold tools were first added, the golden hoe had unusually high durability. This has since been changed.


 * 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.
