Find Gold in Minecraft PE
Finding gold is done in almost exactly the same way as in the PC version of Minecraft. Unfortunately, you have to mine, as there are no caves on the mobile version. You can also get gold by killing zombie pigmen when you activate a Nether reactor.
Steps
Mining
- Dig a staircase down to bedrock.
- Clear out a large room (I use 5x5) to use as a mine hub.
- Pick a wall, and dig back until you can't see anymore.
- Place a torch on the wall.
- Go back to your entry to this small mine shaft.
- Count 2 blocks in, and dig at head-height as far back as you can reach.
- Don't worry about walking into these side tunnels, you're creating a feather pattern in the rock.
- Keep doing this on either side until you find gold ore.
- Mine the gold ore with an iron or diamond pickaxe.
- Smelt the gold ore in a furnace.
Zombie Pigmen
- Make sure your difficulty setting isn't on Peaceful.
- Build and activate a Nether reactor.
- Kill the zombie pigmen that spawn around you.
- Collect gold ingots.
- In a crafting table, place an ingot in every space to get 1 gold block.
