'''Iron ore''' is a [[ore|mineral]] block which may be found underground. It is the most common mineral which may be used to make tools and armor.

'''Iron Ore''' is a mineral block that may be found underground at any depth, including exposed surfaces. It can be chipped by [[Chisel]]s to produce Piles of Iron Ore, or more efficiently mined by any quality [[Pickaxe]] to produce full Chunks of ore, along with six [[Loose Stone]]s. Two Piles can be crafted to produce a Chunk, and each chunk can be smelted in a [[Brick Oven]] to produce an [[Iron Nugget]], which can in turn be used to create some iron tools and [[Iron Ingot]]s. Ore veins vary in size and, unless intersecting with open air or another structure, typically come in clusters of 4 to 8 blocks.
  
Iron ore requires a [[stone]], iron, or [[diamond]] [[pickaxe]] to successfully mine. It must then be smelted in a [[furnace]] to make an [[Iron Ingot|iron ingot]]; iron ingots can be used to make medium quality tools, [[armor]], [[buckets]], [[Flint and Steel]] and [[shears]], as well as a [[compass]]. A full list of craftable items can be found at [[Crafting]].
+
Alternatively, Chunks can be placed as physical items in a [[Kiln]] and smelted into an Iron Nugget to eliminate the need for fuel, or nine combined by crafting or [[Piston]] packing to form a Block of Iron Ore, which can be smelted in a Kiln to form an [[Iron Ingot]] directly.  
  
Iron ore is often used in player traps as it can be mined and replaced in its raw form.
+
Iron Ore blocks can only be obtained with a Silk Touch pickaxe, but they can be smelted in a Kiln similar to a Chunk of Iron Ore.

Iron occurs only around from bedrock to slightly above sea level ([[layers]] 1-63). However, almost all of the iron ore will be underground. It composes approximately 0.59% of all blocks on layers 5-40, tapering off above that. On average, there are about 77 iron ores per chunk. Due to being extremely common, iron veins are frequently seen at the boundaries of any hollow space such as caves and lava lakes, but they are no more common there than in any other volume of stone.

Veins can vary in size, but the most common size is 2x2x2. Iron always comes in veins of 4 to 8 unless dirt, gravel, a cave, or another ore replaced some. Each block in the vein which otherwise would be stone has a random chance of being iron ore instead. (Therefore, it is good practice to check around a located ore block for more ore, as ore blocks may be only diagonally adjacent rather than face-to-face.) If the vein intersects a cave or other structure, part of it may be replaced with empty air. Occasionally, two veins will form next to each other, making it look like more than 8 ores.

Iron Ore is a mineral block that may be found underground at any depth, including exposed surfaces. It can be chipped by Chisels to produce Piles of Iron Ore, or more efficiently mined by any quality Pickaxe to produce full Chunks of ore, along with six Loose Stones. Two Piles can be crafted to produce a Chunk, and each chunk can be smelted in a Brick Oven to produce an Iron Nugget, which can in turn be used to create some iron tools and Iron Ingots. Ore veins vary in size and, unless intersecting with open air or another structure, typically come in clusters of 4 to 8 blocks.

Alternatively, Chunks can be placed as physical items in a Kiln and smelted into an Iron Nugget to eliminate the need for fuel, or nine combined by crafting or Piston packing to form a Block of Iron Ore, which can be smelted in a Kiln to form an Iron Ingot directly.

Iron Ore blocks can only be obtained with a Silk Touch pickaxe, but they can be smelted in a Kiln similar to a Chunk of Iron Ore.
