Here's how it would work. We all know that gunpowder is explosive so if you're not careful it will explode while mining it. So you can use anything to mine it but it has a 25% - 50% chance of exploding EXCEPT when you use Gold Pickaxes since Gold is a soft metal. The crystals have a medium rarity. After you mine it you get gunpowder and you can then use it to your needs. Summary
Rarity: Higher than Iron but lower than gold.
Depth: Just above lava level in a 25 block hight.
Items Given: Sulphur Shards 2-4
How To Refine: Put into crafting = 2 Gunpowder Look.
Gold is pretty rare, yeah. A large chance of explosion without gold would give some more uses for gold and make everything easier.
Gold isn't THAT rare.
I have a world that is a few months old and I don't even have one full stack of it... It's rare enough.
It takes longer than a month to get a full stack of gold it's not like coal. But it's not rare as diamond. I got a full stack of gold before I got any gunpowder.
What level does it start appearing? Is it a small goldilocks zone where pressure is high enough to form the crystals, but low enough not to crush and detonate them? What exactly is "medium" rarity? What colored shards does it give off when attempted to be harvested? Any special blast resistance?
Try to clear up those answers. Otherwise, great idea. Good reasoning on the gold.
P.S. How did you get those full block renders from custom textures? I'd appreciate a link to the program/internet page so that I can render my own custom block ideas. Thank you.

Actually I didn't use any specific program. I edited an iron block to my pleasing, sorry about that. Also, I updated the post to answer those questions.

Look.
Should I make a banner and stuff? Give some examples of how it would look?
Sweet, working on examples.
I don't find much Gold so I dunno about easy. Maybe its just my luck.
