Properties of metals

Metals in Minecraft all share the following properties:

  • They can exist in nugget, ingot and full block forms.
  • They have corresponding tool and armour sets.
  • Their tool and armour sets can be processed by a furnace or blast furnace in order to receive a nugget of the respective metal back.
  • Their ores are the only ores which drop themselves as a block without the use of the Silk Touch enchantment, requiring these ores to be smelted via furnace or blast furnace to receive the ingot.
