Description:
Blocks of Gold (also known as Gold Blocks) are decorative mineral blocks that appear in the center of water dungeons (Upcoming).
Gold blocks can be crafted by placing 9 gold ingots in a 3x3 square in a crafting grid. The gold blocks can then be crafted back into 9 ingots again (even in your inventory crafting grid), making them more useful as a compact way to store gold ingots rather than a building material. They are also used in a recipe to make a more powerful variation of golden apples.
Mining a gold block drops itself (rather than ingots) as long as an iron or diamond level pickaxe is used, thus, no resources are lost. However, if they are broken without a pickaxe or with a lower pickaxe, they drop nothing, effectively causing the loss of all 9 gold ingots used to create the block.
Gold blocks are susceptible to destruction from TNT, and only require approximately 1 second to mine successfully.
Gold blocks are needed to build and activate the Nether Reactor in Pocket Edition.
