FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Block of Raw Gold?
An iron pickaxe or better. Lower tiers cannot break the block for a drop.
Can I smelt a Block of Raw Gold into a gold block?
No. It must first be crafted back into nine Raw Gold items, which can then be smelted individually into gold ingots.
Do Piglins react to this block?
Yes. Piglins run toward and inspect any Block of Raw Gold on the ground, and mining or destroying one near a Piglin can anger it.
Is it affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?
No. It always drops exactly one Block of Raw Gold regardless of enchantments.
