Nether Gold Ore drops Nuggets instead - effected by Fortune

Nether Gold Ore is easily come by in the Nether. Not only that, the Nether is hot and Netherrack is fragile, so wouldn't it make more sense if the Gold is already processed or fragmented? I suggest that similar to Lapis and Redstone - Nether Gold Ore drops Gold Nuggets instead. This means obtaining Gold remains a little more challenging in the Nether. Mining Nether Gold Ore with Fortune III should never drop more than 9 Nuggets though

    Yeah, it seems a little too overpowered honestly. I would also suggest decreasing its spawn rate.

    I getting a whole gold ingot per block is fair due to being in the nether and exposing yourself to a vast amount of danger

    I had this idea exactly. I am all for this.

    I think it'd be cool if mining Nether Gold Ore normally dropped about 3-5 Gold Nuggets, but using enchantments could guarantee an ingot or potentially more.

    Mining it with Silk Touch would allow you to smelt the Ore, which would yield a Gold Ingot.

    Mining it with Fortune would *Potentially* drop over 9 Gold Nuggets, giving it the chance to be better than Silk Touch, but not guaranteed.

    It should drop a few nuggets, not just one (like redstone and lapis ore) even without fortune
