Natural generation[edit | edit source]

Gold ore deposits generate underground, replacing stone and basalt. Limestone and granite variations are unobtainable without the use of cheats or the creative menu. Gold ore generation occurs between y=1 and y=64.

Mining[edit | edit source]

Raw gold ore can be obtained by mining gold ore with an iron pickaxe or higher. If mined with a lower pickaxe tier or without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. If mined with a golden pickaxe, it drops itself.
