FAQ
How do I craft a Block of Raw Gold?
Arrange nine raw gold items in a 3x3 crafting grid to create one block of raw gold, or reverse the process by placing one block in the crafting grid to recover nine raw gold.
Where can I find raw gold to make this block?
Mine gold ore with an iron pickaxe or better, or deepslate gold ore and nether gold ore, to gather raw gold for crafting.
What's the main purpose of this block?
It provides a compact way to store raw gold for inventory management and base organization, though it serves no crafting or processing function beyond storage.
Should I store gold as blocks or ingots?
Blocks are better for bulk storage since nine items compress into one, but only raw gold can become this block. Smelted gold ingots must be crafted into gold blocks separately for that same compression.
