Nether gold ore is a type of gold ore found in the Nether that drops gold nuggets instead of raw gold when broken. As with other gold blocks, breaking Nether gold ore will anger nearby piglins.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Nether gold ore requires a pickaxe to be mined. If mined with any other tool or by hand, it drops nothing.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking Β§ Speed.

Nether gold ore drops 2-6 gold nuggets when mined with any pickaxe. Fortune has a 33.3% chance to multiply the drops by 2, Fortune II has a 25% chance to multiply the drops by 2 or 3 and Fortune III has a 20% chance each to multiply the drops by 2, 3, or 4 for a maximum possible drop of 24 golden nuggets. The average number of nuggets from Fortune III is 8.8, which is less than an ingot; therefore it is slightly more efficient to mine Nether gold ore with Silk Touch and smelt it into gold ingots.

24 0 0 0 1⁄25
Average 4 1⁄3 7 4⁄5

Nether gold ore also drops 0–1XP when broken.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Nether gold ore generates in the Nether in the form of ore blobs. Nether gold ore attempts to replace netherrack 10 times per chunk in blobs of size 0–16, from levels 10 to 117, in all Nether biomes. In Java Edition, in basalt deltas, Nether gold ore attempts to generate 20 times per chunk instead, as there are fewer valid generation areas.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Piglins

[edit | edit source]

Piglins become hostile toward players that mine the ore, regardless if the player is wearing gold armor or is under the invisibility effect. The same case applies if the player mines gold of any type, not just the ore. If any Nether gold ore is dropped and in its item form, piglins run toward any Nether gold ore and examine it for 6 to 8 seconds after picking it up.
