How to make a Block of Raw Gold in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a block of raw gold with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, a block of raw gold is a new type of block that was introduced in the Caves & Cliffs Update: Part I. Storing your raw gold as a block is a great way to save space in your inventory. You can then easily craft the block back into raw gold later when you need it.
