Gold Ingot

Items

Gold Ingot — item.

Obtaining

Gold ingots are the refined form of gold. They come from smelting raw gold or gold-bearing ores, can be recovered from a gold block or nine nuggets, and also appear in several structure loot tables. Nether gold ore is a special shortcut: mining it yields nuggets directly, while smelting it produces an ingot.

Data: Obtaining
Raw gold	Smelt 1 into 1 ingot
Gold ore variants	Smelt 1 into 1 ingot
Gold block	Uncrafts into 9 ingots
Gold nuggets	9 craft into 1 ingot
Structure loot	Chests in overworld, Nether, and End structures

Crafting

The material can be packed into a block or unpacked from one. A full 3×3 grid of nuggets makes one ingot, while one gold block returns nine ingots without losing material.

Data: Crafting
9 gold nuggets	1 gold ingot
1 gold block	9 gold ingots

Usage

Gold ingots are a high-enchantability crafting material rather than a straight upgrade over iron: gold tools are fast but fragile. The ingot is also accepted by beacons, piglins, cleric trades, armor-trim recipes, and the Netherite upgrade chain.

Data: Usage
Golden apple	8 ingots around an apple
Gold block	9 ingots
Powered rail	Rail component
Piglin bartering	Gold ingot is a loved item
Beacon payment	Valid payment item
Cleric trade	3 ingots for 1 emerald
