Gold Block

The is a material block in Build A Boat For Treasure. It was added in an update alongside the Button and can be difficult to obtain in large amounts.
The was originally 10 hitpoints, before an update decreased it to 9. Despite this, it remains the strongest material in the game. Compared to all blocks in the game, it is outclassed in strength by several ability blocks, including the Shield Generator, Mystery Box, and the Portal.
While the would ostensibly be heavy considering its strength, it is, in fact, lighter than most blocks, requiring a mere 0.5 Balloons to lift 1 .
== Obtaining ==
Reaching the Treasure rewards one each time. It cannot be obtained through any other means besides the Treasure.
Touching the Stage Entrance is the only requirement for receiving a from the Treasure. Thus, any grinder-type boat can enter the Stage Entrance, then and fly or teleport past every stage.
The block was temporarily unobtainable during the 2020 Christmas event, as the Treasure reward was replaced by the Yellow Gift. It became obtainable again from Christmas Day onwards as the Yellow Gift was unwrapped. This happened again in the 2021 event with the Light Blue Gift.
== Appearance ==
The block is yellow with a green tint due to the sky's reflection. It is one of few blocks that have a reflective or refractive texture, along with the Button, Glass, Trophies, and Window. In low graphics quality, the texture appears completely smooth. However, in higher graphics qualities, various etches appear in the block, one of which is a tic-tac-toe board. A reflection of the sun can also be seen.
==Trivia==

*This block is one of two cube material blocks that do not have a rod variant, the other being the Obsidian Block.
*A can mimic a Glass Block by painting it the right color, then setting the transparency to 50% in the Property Tool.
*One cubic meter of real gold weighs about 19.3 metric tonnes.
*A similar-looking "mystery gold" can be created by a Mystery Box effect.
*This, as well as the Metal Block and Neon Block, visually merge perfectly when glitched inside another of the same block.
