Q&A for How to Find Gold in Minecraft

You can use your sword and shield. A sword does a sweep attack which becomes very useful when dealing with swarms.

The Notch Apple, or Enchanted Golden Apple, is basically a golden apple, but it has a purple sheen to make it look enchanted. It gives you more effects than the regular golden apple, like Fire Resistance or Strength.

Unlike in real life, mining does not pose much of a concern to the environment. After the infdev (Infinite Development) version of Minecraft, finding some gold would leave hardly a dent to the amount of resources left. However, if you are a slow player, you might reach the edge of the world since infdev is not actually infinite; it's just big. At that point, you'd run out of resources to get, which can be thought of as some kind of environmental impact.

It's a golden apple crafted with one apple and eight gold blocks. Of course you can still get the regular gold apple crafted with an apple and eight gold nuggets.

You may mine below Y=28. You'll find gold and diamonds at Y=11 to Y=13. If you don't want to dig all the way down, you can find a mesa biome and find mineshafts to dig in. You can also loot strongholds and nether fortresses, and dungeons.

No, they're not useful. Minecraft is mostly based on real life, and in real life, gold is a soft metal. That means tools won't have much attack damage, and the armor won't protect you very well.

Since you can no longer craft notch apples, and can only find them in naturally generated structures, the chance at finding them are rare, around 8%.

The best y-coordinate to find not only gold, but and ore is y11. This will give you the biggest chance at finding the majority of ores in Minecraft.

The Sweeping Edge enchantment currently only exists on the Java Edition of Minecraft, not the Bedrock Edition (ie. Minecraft for Xbox, Windows 10, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Gear VR, & Amazon Fire/fire TV). You could probably implement Sweeping Edge on most of those platforms relatively easily, except for Pocket Edition (Android & iOS), which unlike the rest, doesn't need the screen to be centred on your target to attack. Since Bedrock Edition covers ALL of those platforms INCLUDING PE, the devs would need to figure out a way to properly implement it in PE, before they could add it to the rest of the Bedrock Edition.

Ancient debris can be find in any y level in the nether, though level 15 is usually the best.

If you are playing on Java Edition, hold the shield and press F. This will put the shield in your off hand, and then you can hold the sword in your main hand. If you're on Pocket Edition or a console, you can open your inventory and place the shield in your off hand slot, then hold the sword in your main hand.

No, unlike real life, there are no consequences to eating golden apples in Minecraft. You won't get any debuffs.

Minecraft is based on real life, and realistically, gold is a soft metal, so it is much more easy to break. However, gold can also be used to barter with the piglins. Be sure to wear at least one gold armor, so they won’t attack you immediately.

The rarest place in Minecraft is the mushroom biome. People say that mushroom biome is like 000.1 percent of a chance. It is a biome like an island and have mushroom, red coloured cows and grey coloured grass block called mycelium.
