Usage[edit]
Crafting ingredient[edit]
As a material for weapons, tools, and armor, gold is not a straight upgrade from iron (except in the case of horse armor). Gold has a higher mining speed and enchantability than any other material, but attack power and durability tends to be low. The golden pickaxe can harvest only those blocks that are harvestable by a wooden pickaxe.
Trading[edit]
Cleric villagers buy 8-10 gold ingots for an emerald.[Legacy Console Edition only]
Apprentice-level cleric villager buy 3 gold ingots for an emerald as part of their trade.[Java and Bedrock editions only]
Repairing[edit]
Golden helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, swords, pickaxes, axes, hoes and shovels can be repaired with gold ingots in an anvil.
Beacons[edit]
Gold ingots can be used to select powers from a beacon. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot.
A gold ingot can be substituted for an iron ingot, an emerald, or a diamond.
