FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Gilded Blackstone?
Any pickaxe works, even a wooden one, since it has no minimum tool tier requirement.
Does Gilded Blackstone drop gold ingots?
No. When mined without Silk Touch it has a chance to drop 2 to 5 gold nuggets instead of the block itself; Silk Touch always recovers the block.
Where can I find Gilded Blackstone?
Only inside bastion remnant structures in the Nether, scattered throughout their blackstone walls and frequently placed beneath loot chests.
Can Gilded Blackstone be smelted for gold?
No. Despite its gold-flecked texture, it cannot be smelted into gold ingots or nuggets in a furnace.
