To innovate is good, to stand and innovate is better. Proud to have beaten BBCSEX Arcade mode first go.

HeaderHog posted...I mean, other than powered rails, it's pretty much useless.
It's not an effective armor or tool making material, and you can't use it for that long as a tool.
Unless I REALLY want to make a Tower of Pimps, I don't really see the real purpose.
Use them for hoe's. I mean rule #1 of minecraft, never waste diamonds on a hoe.

I haven't even thought of this before reading this topic but, has anyone enchanted a Gold pickaxe and got unbreaking III on it? does it still just wear out in 20 minutes?

Unbreaking III would give the gold pick a lifespan about the same as a stone pick. Around 120 uses. As opposed to about 6000 uses from an unvreaking III diamond pick.

You need gold to play online with people on your friends list.

Unless you were joking, of course.
Yes, I was joking.
I eat my gold when I get hungry.

IMO, that answer is one of the best answers in the history of gfaqs.

Divided_By_One posted...I know at one point (aka the wiki) gold tools get enchanted easier; I don't know if that's the case for us, but it'd be easier to enchant a gold diving helmet than a diamond one.
But, gold pick axes are faster than others, which could be useful in competitive games.
Also, it is used in Glistering Melons, and hence, Instant Health Potions (the only other healing potions are health-over-time and require Ghast Tears). They are also one possible way to get Splash Potions of Instant Damage II, aka grenades.
And lastly Golden apples are a decent emergency food. In a battle and notice your health isn't regenerating because you are too hungry? They not only fill your hunger bar 2 points, but also regenerate 4 health, too (over 5 seconds).
i use grenades
