Talk:Iron Ore

The iron ore wiki states that iron is found between "20 to 80 blocks deep". Is this calculated as below any surface block? eg. If land were hypothetically generated at the current 128 block ceiling of the game, would iron ore not be present in the bottom 48 blocks at that location?
 * Just five minutes ago, I dug down to the bedrock and found iron ore a few blocks away from an opening to the void. That said, I suspect the article is talking about depth relative to the top of the map - it may be the chunk I dug down to was generated before some patch or other, it may be the article was written before some patch or other, or it may even be that the article is just plain wrong. Either way, I seem to find loads more iron near the surface then I do at the deeper levels, making deeper mines a bit of a waste of time (as iron is arguably the most valuable ore). - Bomb Bloke 09:47, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
