What can players make with gold in Minecraft?

There are several types of materials in Minecraft, including gold. Though gold is quite valuable in real life, it is not as valuable in the game. Diamonds and emeralds hold a much higher importance than gold, however, this doesn't mean that they are completely useless as players still need gold to craft a bunch of items.

Gold is a type of material that can be naturally found in the form of ore blocks generating underground. They drop as raw gold which can be smelted into gold ingots.

Furthermore, the ingots can be converted into blocks or nuggets for different uses. Many new players might not understand the importance of the material, however, multiple other items can be made with it.
