Gold panning

  •    Gold panning in Minecraft would be a useful feature in Minecraft. Gold panning would be that if you right click with a bowl in hand at a river or lake there would be a 75% chance of getting gravel or flint, a  40% chance of iron nuggets, a 30% chance of 1 to 4 gold nuggets and a 15% chance of a treasure item. There would also be a metal bowl which would increase the chance of gold nuggets or treasure items but it would slowly rust until it would break.

    Was saying the exact thing. But adding sand or gravel from, and near river water source by or around cliffs or mountains. By panning 75% chance of redstone, 60% chance for iron nugget 1-6, 45% chances for gold nugget 1-5, 25% for diamonds 1-3, and make about 8% chance for 1-2 iron or gold ingot, 5% for emeralds 1-2, 3% for 1 iron or gold block, or 2 block of redstone and toughest of all 1%chances for diamonds blocks. Make you work for it. And give people a creation for creating redstone auto panners. It pops in my head and thought it should be good add to update. Would love to see it happening soon

    With the chaos cubed update and its geysers (with the help of potent sulfur) and the comment above describing placing sand or gravel to add drops, I think there is a simple way they could add this. By using the same feature as the potent sulfur, if sand or gravel is placed under water then the top water block has a "glistening" effect which means you can pan that block for drops!

    I think flint, metal nuggets (maybe red sand can improve gold chances), and "garbage loot" (ex: gravel, sand, dirt) could make for a nice, relaxing way to get those resources.
