Trivia

  • While Minecraft does distinguish between ores and metals, it does not have a “steel” item separate from iron; Flint and Steel is crafted directly from an iron ingot, and iron ingots are sometimes referred to as steel.
  • The Iron Ingot is colored silver, despite the ore having it be a "Reddish" color.
