Block of Iron


 * This article is about the solid iron block. For the ore, see Iron (Ore). For the Ingot, see Iron (Ingot).

Iron (also known as Block of Iron) matches the texture of Gold blocks with a different colour as they are both made from ore found in the game. Iron has the same texture for each of its sides.

Iron blocks can be made by placing 9 iron ingots in a crafting bench. The 9 ingots can be recovered by placing the block in a crafting grid. This makes iron blocks more functional as "storage units" than as building units. Iron blocks can be mined with a stone, iron, or diamond pick, taking about 4 seconds to destroy.

History
In Survival mode, breaking iron ore would cause 1 - 3 iron blocks to drop.

Iron blocks had a different skin when first made, using three different textures. The skin was changed from to the current texture in the Halloween Update.
