I started playing on the beta version and was amazed by the nether update. I made a survival world and started a mining trip. Normal right? As soon as I find gold, I'm happy as I now have a chance to make netherite. When I put the gold ore in the furnace, nothing. Thinking something is wrong, I try iron ore instead, and it works. Only gold ore is not working. I've tried different fuel sources like coal, charcoal, a bucket of lava, a block of coal, heck even some wood! And I've even tried it in a blast furnace but to no avail. I've even tried restarting MC and didn't play for an hour if it was due to overheating. But I now know it's a bug. Please fix this so I can enjoy the new nether update. Thank you for your time.
Yours Truly,
