Block of Gold

Blocks of Gold (also known as Block of Gold) are blocks for storing gold ingots that do not appear in normally generated maps anywhere.

Blocks of Gold are available for use in Creative mode and are often used to make shiny buildings or to show "wealth".

Gold is susceptible to destruction from TNT, and only requires approximately 3 seconds to mine successfully.

Blocks of Gold can be crafted by placing 9 gold ingots in a crafting grid. The gold blocks could then be crafted back into 9 ingots again, making them more useful as "storage units" rather than building units. Golden blocks can be used to make Golden Apples.

Mining a gold block drops a full gold block (rather than ore or ingots) so no resources are lost. As with mining gold ore, destroying a gold block with an empty hand or a tool that is not an iron or higher level pickaxe will destroy the block, but will not drop resources, wasting all 9 ingots.

History
Blocks of Gold had a different skin when it was first made. The skin was changed from in the Survival 0.26 update to the current texture in the Halloween Update. However, in Classic it is still seen as. This block used three textures instead of one.

In early versions of Survival, gold blocks resisted explosions; however, this is no longer the case.

Trivia

 * The Block of Gold is the heaviest and therefore densest block in Minecraft. If pure, it would weigh approximately 19.3 tons in real life. A chest filled with gold blocks would weigh over 33,500 tons. This is well over 200 times denser than the core of the sun and about 1/30 the density of degenerate matter in a white dwarf. But, It can still be lifted by Enderman easily.
 * Human civilization, through all its history, has produced approximately 136 stacks of gold blocks.
