Golden Core

Frequently asked questions

How do I make gilded armor?
Combine a Golden Core with any armor piece in a crafting grid or anvil to convert it into its gilded variant. The armor piece retains its original stats and enchantments—only its appearance and Piglin-pacifying properties change.
Do I need to gild my entire armor set?
No, you only need to wear one gilded piece for Piglins to recognize you as friendly. You can gild just a helmet, chestplate, or any single piece depending on your preference.
Will gilded armor work with modded armor pieces?
Yes, Golden Cores can be applied to most modded armor from other mods, making them compatible with a wide range of gear. Some heavily customized modded armor may have compatibility issues—test with your specific mods if unsure.
Can I remove the gilded effect from armor?
No, once gilded, the armor cannot be reverted to its original form. Plan ahead before applying a Golden Core to armor you want to keep unmodified.
Do enchantments stay on gilded armor?
Yes, any enchantments on the original armor piece are preserved when you apply a Golden Core. The gilding process only changes appearance and Piglin behavior, not the armor's enchantments or durability.
Where do I find Golden Cores?
Golden Cores are typically crafted or found as loot—check the mod's crafting recipes or Nether structures depending on your mod version. They may also be obtainable through mining or trading.
Does gilded armor protect me from Piglin attacks?
Gilded armor prevents Piglins from attacking you, but it does not grant any additional defensive stats beyond the armor piece's original protection. You still take damage from other mobs and sources normally.
Can I gild netherite armor?
Yes, netherite and other high-tier vanilla armor pieces can be gilded just like any other armor. The gilding does not affect netherite's fire resistance or other special properties.
What happens if I wear gilded armor in the Overworld?
Gilded armor functions normally in any dimension—it only has a special effect on Piglins' behavior. Outside the Nether, it simply appears as gilded and provides its normal armor protection.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and should not noticeably impact performance. If you experience issues, check for mod conflicts with other Nether-related mods or armor mods.
