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 4-6 blocks. 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 for ore using an iron pickaxe or better. The ore can be smelted in a furnace to create gold ingots. Because of its very small durability, it is more used for showing off than it's value on items/armor.

It can be placed in Classic as of version 0.28.
