Other than clocks and booster tracks ( that are not even good enough to make this a good use for gold ) are the only uses for gold that are not dumb.
It will make sense , and its really simple.
People ´d thought about acids , but my take on all that acid stuff is :
Acid pools should be spawned underground ( and above ground , but very rare )
In this acid pool generation code it should be included x2 Ore spawning near it , and below it.
But when you touch acid you will start losing health , so how do we take all those valuable ores ?
GOLD!
In real life gold doesnt reacts will almost nothing that much , not even with acids ( obviusly it reacts a little but not as much as other metals ) , so wearing gold armor should stop acid damage , letting the player explore this acid pools looking for valuable ores.
Its a little idea , but please post any thought you got on this.
I ve made better suggestion , larger suggestion and stuff but i dont think this is complicated enough to make a 10000 line post with 1000 pictures explaining how it works
How it works :
Gold doesnt reacts with acid , so no damage will be dealed to the player when acid
Then you can explore the acid pool ( or even large acid caves ! )
That is all.
Other than that.
Also , carrying acid ina bucket ? , Well , iron reacts fast and it would destroy itself , but iron can carry lava in minecraft so... if i say no to that it would be dumb.
