In, you can use Gold Ingots to trade with Piglins for a wide range of useful items. Piglins are inhabitants of the Nether, a hellish otherworldly realm that's the only source of some of rarest items and materials. They aren't usually open to trade, but there are ways for you to convince Piglins to trade gold for rare items, such as Enchanted Books and armor pieces.
To reach the Nether, you have to construct a Nether Portal using Obsidian blocks and light it with Flint and Steel. Some of the best seeds in have incomplete portals that require fewer resources to complete. However, Piglins are also extremely hostile mobs and will attack you unless you're wearing at least one piece of Gold Armor as you find them in the Nether.
Piglins will often spawn in the Nether Wastes and Crimson Forest biomes, both of which are extremely commonplace in the Nether itself.
If you have at least one piece of Gold Armor (Golden Helmet, Golden Chestplate, Gold Leggings, or Gold Boots) equipped, Piglins will turn neutral, and you can approach them safely. To trade with a Piglin, you can either toss a Gold Ingot at their feet or right-click (left trigger on controllers) them while holding a Gold Ingot.
Be aware of your surroundings. Gold Armor also offers minimal protection, and the Nether can be much more dangerous than the Overworld due to the presence of lava and tough, hostile mobs.
If done correctly, the Piglin will ponder your offering momentarily before dropping a random item from a list of possible Piglin trades. Drop rates vary, so some of the best trades won't appear often. However, most items Piglins will trade are worth at least one Gold Ingot.
Gold has some uses in, such as crafting Powered Rails, Netherite Ingots, and Golden Apples. However, it isn't particularly rare and is weaker than Iron when used to craft tools or armor, so feel free to smelt it into Ingots and spend them on Piglin trades. If you lack Gold, you can always build one of mob farms.
