-Q: Does anyone know how deep you have to dig to find gold? I'm down to the lava and still haven't found any.

I often find gold a few blocks from the surface. –ultradude25 ^(T|C) 06:27, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I've only found gold in caverns near the bottom (Of alpha maps), but I've never gone looking/using cartograph. Milokp 02:19, 14 September 2010 (CDT)

I'd recommend not looking for it, for if you just mine around in random caverns, you're bound to find some eventually. --Funkadacious

[edit] Practicality?

I've got some spare gold on hand, but is making tools out of it at all useful? With the durability of wood, it wouldn't last very long as a tool. Considering the armor gold creates isn't the best either, what does one do with it? The only thing I can think of would be to make statues out of gold blocks. -Funkadacious

for now, nothing. but it'll likely be used for something in the future.--Kizzycocoa 21:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I think that it is for bling(Just like real life). The watch is the only useful thing that it can make, the gold apple is way to expensive to make to be useful.

Of course this has all changed with the advent of the Powered Rail. Now I can't get enough gold! --Shrog 11:04, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] changed?

how was this changed? O.o--Kizzycocoa 07:03, 31 October 2010 (CDT)

Could someone please post a picture of the new block? F1racer101 07:26, 31 October 2010 (CDT)

I'm assuming this is a bug, it's using the same texture on all sides now, which looks odd; I'll ask on Twitter. Until Notch confirms it, I'm not making a new render. –ultradude25 ^(T|C) 05:36, 1 November 2010 (CDT)

Hold on! Solid diamond and iron blocks are the same... maybe it was on purpose? F1racer101 19:16, 1 November 2010 (CDT)

[edit] Old gold texture

Does anyone have the old gold texture's UV map so I can create an isometric render of it for consistency? –ultradude25 ^(T|C) at 05:06, 16 December 2010 (CST)

Quatrokingslayer 20:55, 21 October 2011 (UTC) Expunged some useless trivia, cleaned the place up a bit.

[edit] Only ore block not breakable by a pick made of the same material

It seems i cant break gold blocks with gold picks..the lapis block is self explanatory. 96.228.144.156 22:16, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
