'''Gold ingots''' are [[metal]] ingots used to craft various [[item]]s and used as currency for [[bartering]] with [[piglin]]s.

== Obtaining ==
Gold Ingots are mainly obtained by smelting [[gold ore]] and [[nether gold ore]], or just mining nether gold ore, dropping gold nuggets. See the Natural Generation section below for more ways to find the ingots. Gold generates more frequently in the [[Badlands]] biome.

=== Mob loot ===

==== Zombified Piglins ====
[[Zombified piglin]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping a gold ingot if killed by a player or tamed wolf. The chance is increased by 1% per level of Looting, for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III.

==== Drowned ====
{{IN|java}}, [[drowned]] have a 5% ({{frac|1|20}}) chance of dropping a gold ingot, 6% ({{frac|3|50}}) with Looting I, 7% ({{frac|7|100}}) with Looting II, and 8% ({{frac|2|25}}) with Looting III.{{until|Java 1.17}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, drowned have a 11% ({{frac|11|100}}) chance of dropping a gold ingot, 13% ({{frac|13|100}}) with Looting I, 15% ({{frac|3|20}}) with Looting II, and 17% ({{frac|17|100}}) with Looting III.{{until|Bedrock 1.17}}

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|gold-ingot}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient===

As a material for weapons, tools, and armor, gold is not a straight upgrade from iron (except in the case of horse armor). Gold has a higher mining speed and enchantability than any other material, but attack power and durability tends to be low.
{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level cleric villagers buy 3 gold ingots for an emerald as part of their trade.

=== Repairing ===

Golden [[helmet]]s, [[chestplate]]s, [[leggings]], [[boots]], [[sword]]s, [[pickaxe]]s, [[axe]]s, [[hoe]]s and [[shovel]]s can be [[item repair|repaired]] with gold ingots in an [[anvil]].

=== Bartering ===
{{main|Bartering}}
[[Piglin]]s throw the player [[Bartering#Mechanics|item(s)]] if the player throws or {{ctrl|uses}} a gold ingot on them.

=== Beacons ===

Gold ingots can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot. 

A gold ingot can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]] or [[netherite ingot]], an [[emerald]], or a [[diamond]].
