Gold (Disambiguation)

Gold is a rare material found near or on the bedrock layer. The amount  of ore blocks in one vein vary from 1 block to 9 blocks. They are identified by the yellow and white squares, making it look like it is sparkling.

Crafting
Gold can be crafted into Blocks of Gold. They are also used to craft weapons and tools. The problem is, the durability of tools crafted in gold is really short, shorter than a wooden tool. Fortunately, they are really fast to mine a block.

Appearances
Since the 0.5.0 update, gold can be found in two ways: one is mining the ore block, and another one is by killing zombie pigmen. Because gold nuggets are not in Pocket Edition yet, zombie pigmen drop gold ingots instead.
