A '''block of gold''' is a precious [[metal]] block equivalent to nine [[gold ingot]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===

[[Ocean monument]]s have a central room containing 8 blocks of gold encased in [[dark prismarine]].

Blocks of gold generate as part of [[ruined portal]]s and [[bastion remnant]]s in varying quantities.

=== Breaking ===

Blocks of gold can be mined only with an iron pickaxe or better.

== Usage ==

Blocks of gold are a compact way to store [[gold ingot]]s.

=== Beacons ===

Blocks of gold can be used to "power" a [[beacon]]. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of gold blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely gold blocks, as they may also contain [[blocks of iron]], [[blocks of emerald]], [[blocks of netherite]], and [[blocks of diamond]].

=== Note blocks===
Blocks of gold can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce bell sounds.

=== Piglins ===
[[Piglin]]s become distracted upon the player dropping a block of gold as an item, and become enraged if the player breaks a block of gold near them.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Tower of Pimps.png|frameless|right|32px]]
* In ''Xbox 360 Edition'', before TU19, four gold blocks stacked on top of an obsidian block could be found inside the tutorial world's desert pyramid. This is a reference to [[wikipedia:Achievement Hunter|Achievement Hunter's]] ''Let's Play Minecraft'' series, in which this combination is used to create the "Tower of Pimps" (seen right), a structure first created by [[wikipedia:Gavin Free|Gavin Free]], which is now used in many episodes as a trophy.
* If one block is considered to be equal to one meter³, then one block of gold has a mass of 19,320 kilograms, making it the heaviest real-world matter available in vanilla ''Minecraft'' if [[element]] blocks are not considered. A player's inventory has 36 slots, with each being able to carry 64 gold blocks; therefore, a player can carry a maximum number of 44,467.2 tons of weight, not considering armor or putting things in shulker boxes (which theoretically increases the weight by 27 times).
