Gold ore is a rare mineral block found underground that drops raw gold when mined with an iron pickaxe or better.

Deepslate gold ore is a variant of gold ore that can generate in deepslate and tuff.

Gold ore drops one raw gold if mined by an iron pickaxe or higher. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. Mining with a Silk Touch pickaxe drops the ore block. It is affected by Fortune enchantment, dropping 1–2, 1–3, or 1–4 raw gold respectively with Fortune I, II, and III.

Gold ore can generate in the Overworld in the form of ore features.

Gold ore attempts to generate in two batches. The first batch generates 4 times per chunk in blobs of 0—13 blocks, from levels -64 to 32. It is most likely to be found around layer -16, becoming less common toward either end of the range. The second batch has a probability of 1/2 per chunks to generate in blobs of 0—13 blocks that generate uniformly between -64 and -48. There is also an extra batch of gold ore in badlands biomes that generates 50 times per chunk in blobs of 0—13 blocks, from 32 to 256 uniformly. Gold ore is also less likely to be exposed to air: 50% of ore blocks from the first and second batch do not generate. The extra batch in badlands generates regardless of exposure to air.

Gold ore can replace stone, andesite, diorite, granite, tuff, and deepslate. Any gold ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate gold ore.

The primary usage of gold ore is to mine it for raw gold.

Piglins become hostile toward players who mine gold ore, even if the player is wearing golden armor or under the Invisibility effect. Piglins also run toward any gold ore item on the ground, and inspect it for 6 seconds in Java Edition or 8 seconds in Bedrock Edition^[1] before putting it in their inventory.
