Open in the icon editorThe Minecraft block of gold and why piglins want it
A block of gold is worth nine gold ingots and is crafted by filling the crafting grid with them. Its practical job is storing gold compactly, since it turns back into ingots, and it also works as a beacon base, mixed if you like with blocks of iron, emerald, diamond or netherite.
It only drops when mined with an iron pickaxe or better. You do not always have to craft it: an ocean monument keeps 8 blocks of gold in its central room, encased in dark prismarine, and they also generate in ruined portals and Nether bastion remnants.
Piglins need some care here. Drop a block of gold on the ground and they run over and inspect it for 6 seconds in Java or 8 in Bedrock before pocketing it. Break a block of gold near them, though, and they turn hostile even if you are wearing gold armour, which is worth remembering while looting a bastion.
In the Xbox 360 edition, before TU19, the desert pyramid in the tutorial world held four blocks of gold stacked on obsidian. It was a nod to the Tower of Pimps from Achievement Hunter's Let's Play series.
