Overview
Nether Gold Ore counts as a stone-family block in Minecraft 1.21.4. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. Hardness 3 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
Mine it with a wooden pickaxe or better, or you get no drop at all. Instead of dropping itself it yields Gold Nugget. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
The one thing it makes is Gold Ingot.
