Gold Panning

In some areas, there is a chance for rivers to be rich in gold, and if you are lucky, there is a chance you may strike gold when shaking a pan full of dirt and sand, so what if this could be added to minecraft? It would be a great way of farming gold by planting rich rivers while chunks load, since the only way to find gold is in chests found in structures, gold in bastions, and by searching caves and the plain nether biomes. An option I’d like for this gold is to only be found in formats of nuggets, all the way up to raw gold, and to either require a bowl or a custom saucepan to collect gold from rivers. This feature would make a great connection to the real world, referencing history in its place.

Please upvote this option, as it will create a better extension to searching for gold.
