About
Nether Gold Ore is an ore block exclusive to the Nether, recognizable by its dark frame and gold flecks. Mining it with any pickaxe drops 2, 6 gold nuggets (unaffected by Fortune). Unlike most ores, it does not drop itself as a block and cannot be smelted, nuggets must be crafted into ingots or used directly in recipes.
It spawns throughout the Nether at any height and is useful for quick gold farming without needing a furnace. The ore has moderate hardness and can be collected into a full stack of 64 for bulk transport or storage on your server.
