FAQ

What does Nether Gold Ore drop?

2–6 gold nuggets per block, multiplied further by Fortune. Silk Touch harvests the ore block itself instead.

Does mining it anger piglins?

Yes. Piglins become hostile when they see a player mine Nether Gold Ore, similar to mining other gold blocks near them.

What tool do I need to mine it?

Any pickaxe, including wood. Mining without a pickaxe drops nothing.

Is Nether Gold Ore affected by Fortune?

Yes. Fortune increases the gold nugget drop count, with Fortune III averaging close to 8.8 nuggets per block.
