'''Nether gold ore''' is a variant of [[gold ore]] only found in [[the Nether]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Nether gold ore requires a pickaxe to be mined.

{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Nether Gold Ore|pickaxe|wood}}

Nether gold ore drops 2-6 [[gold nugget]]s when mined with any [[pickaxe]]. [[Fortune]] has a 33.3% chance to multiply the drops by 2, Fortune II has a 25% chance to multiply the drops by 2 or 3 and Fortune III has a 20% chance each to multiply the [[drops]] by 2, 3, or 4 for a maximum possible drop of 24 golden nuggets. The average number of nuggets from Fortune III is 8.8, which is less than an ingot; therefore it is slightly more efficient to mine nether gold ore with [[Silk Touch]] and [[Smelting|smelt]] it into [[gold ingot]]s.

Nether gold ore also drops {{xp|0|1}} when broken.

=== Natural generation ===
Nether gold ore generates in [[the Nether]] in the form of [[ore (feature)|ore blob]]s. Nether gold ore attempts to replace [[netherrack]] 10 times per [[chunk]] in blobs of size 0–16, from levels 10 to 117, in all Nether biomes. {{IN|java}}, in [[Basalt Deltas|basalt deltas]], nether gold ore attempts to generate 20 times per chunk instead, as there are fewer valid generation areas.

{{Block distribution}}

== Usage ==
=== Piglins ===
[[Piglin]]s become hostile toward [[player]]s that [[breaking|mine]] the ore, regardless if the player is wearing [[gold]] [[armor]] or is under the {{EffectLink|Invisibility}} effect. The same case applies if the player mines gold of any type, not just the ore. If any nether gold ore is dropped and in its [[Item (entity)|item]] form, piglins run toward any nether gold ore and examine it for 6 to 8 seconds after picking it up.
