Nether Gold Ore

Nether gold ore is a variant of gold ore found only in the Nether.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Nether gold ore generates in the Nether in the form of ore blobs. 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 basalt deltas, nether gold ore attempts to generate 20 times per chunk instead, as there are fewer valid generation areas.
=== Breaking ===
Nether gold ore requires a pickaxe to be mined.
Nether gold ore drops 2-6 gold nuggets 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 smelt it into gold ingots.

Nether gold ore also drops when broken.
== Usage ==
=== Piglins ===
Piglins become hostile toward players that mine the ore, regardless if the player is wearing gold armor or is under the 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 form, piglins will run towards any nether gold ore and examine it for 6 to 8 seconds after picking it up.
=== Smelting ingredient ===
=== Note Blocks ===
Nether gold ore can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.

*In 2017, Jeb showed interest in a suggestion regarding nether gold ore that was posted on Reddit.
**This comment also suggested that nearby zombie pigmen, the mob now currently known as zombified piglins, should become angry at the player when they mine nether gold ore. Jeb also showed interest in this aspect of the suggestion, and this may have been the inspiration for piglins becoming angry when gold of any type is mined near them.
**Nether Gold Ore requires a stone pickaxe or better to get gold, despite overworld Gold Ore needing an iron pickaxe or better.
