Gold should be a Nether exclusive (except in mesas)

Now that we have gold in the Nether I think it should be removed from the Overworld except Mesa biomes and in loot. Nether gold should be found mostly in Nether wastes.

Pros:

-Makes gold in early game far more valuable(bigger sense of pride and accomplishment)

-Caves already have a lot of ore so removing gold won't make much of a difference, you would have even more possible space in your inventories for other currently more valuable ores, items etc.

-Makes the Nether even more important, and players will not be able to easily evade the hostility of piglins until they find enough gold for armour

-Makes Mesa biomes more valuable

Cons:

-Don't see any :P

    A cons is that in the real world gold exists ahaha

    And anyway I don't think we have many minerals in the normal world, we have 7 of them, of which 4 do not create armor or weapons, of which three serve only one thing, coal burning, emerald exchanges and lapis enchantments

    I disagree because if gold were harder to find it would add even more difficulty when it comes to getting golden apples

    I see where you're coming from, but I disagree. It's not a bad idea, I just don't think it would work out very well. I think we should maybe just have less gold in the Nether, make it less abundant.

    Why? Gold is basically useless anyways.

    Sorry but I hate this idea. It's not that golden apples or carrots are harder to make its th fact that without gold in the overworld you have 3 types or armour to pick from, before entering the nether

    No.  Gold is too useful.

    I understand your point but since on our planet, there is gold underground, decreasing the spawn rate seems a lot more logical to me. I expect the Nether Update to bring a lot more uses to gold, to it's value will probably increase and the rarity even increases this point.

    I disagree. As gold is already rare in the over world, it would make getting gold too unbalanced.
