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 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.

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 pick, taking about 4 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 File:Iron (Block)-Pre Alpha 1.2.0.png to the current texture in the Halloween Update.

In Classic it is still seen as File:Iron (Block)-Pre Alpha 1.2.0.png. This block used three textures instead of one.
