Gilded blackstone is a variant of blackstone that can drop itself or gold nuggets when mined.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Gilded blackstone can generate as part of bastion remnants.

Breaking

Gilded Blackstone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself or gold nuggets. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Gilded blackstone has a 10% chance to drop 2-5 gold nuggets when mined with any pickaxe. If it does not drop golden nuggets, it drops itself as a block. If Gilded Blackstone is mined with a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe, it always drops itself.

As with Gravel, the Fortune enchantment does not increase the amount dropped, but increase the chance a gold nugget will drop. Fortune I increases the chance for this drop to 14.29% (17), Fortune II increases it to 25%, and Fortune III guarantees the golden nugget drop.
