How to get Raw Gold in Survival Mode

You can add raw gold to your inventory in Survival mode by mining either gold ore or deepslate gold ore. So, let's get started!

1. Find Gold Ore or Deepslate Gold Ore

First, let's explore where to find gold ore and deepslate gold ore. Both are found in small deposits underground in the Overworld.

Gold Ore

This is what gold ore looks like:

Deepslate gold ore is darker gray with orange and green specks, and is usually found below a y-coordinate of 0.

2. Hold a Diamond, Iron, or Netherite Pickaxe

To mine these ores, you need to dig up the block with a diamond pickaxe, iron pickaxe, or netherite pickaxe.

Other tools will not dig up the block and let you add the raw gold to your inventory.

In this example, we are going to use a diamond pickaxe to dig up the block.

3. Mine the Block

The game control to mine the block depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the block.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the block.
For Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
For PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the block.
For Education Edition, left click and hold on the block.
