Block of Iron

A block of iron is a precious metal block equivalent to nine iron ingots.

Breaking
Blocks of iron can be mined only with a stone pickaxe or better. If an iron block is mined without the use of a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Usage
Blocks of iron can be used to store iron ingots in a compact fashion.

Beacons
Blocks of iron can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of iron blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely iron blocks, as they may also contain blocks of gold, blocks of diamond, blocks of netherite or blocks of emerald.

Spawning iron golems
Blocks of iron and pumpkins, carved pumpkins or jack o'lanterns are used to build iron golems. The pumpkin, carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern must be placed last, and the golem spawns immediately after placing it.

Note blocks
Blocks of iron can be placed under note blocks to produce iron xylophone sounds.
