Block of Iron


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

The Blocks of Iron are blocks for storing iron ingots that do not appear in normally generated maps anywhere. Iron blocks have the same texture for each of its sides.

Blocks of Iron 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. Blocks of Iron can be mined with a stone, iron, or diamond pickaxe, taking about 2 seconds to destroy.

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

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

In Classic it is still seen as. This block used three textures instead of one.

In Beta 1.9 Pre-release 5, the texture was changed again, now having subtle lines through it.
