Natural generation

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

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.
