About Iron in Minecraft
Out of the many resources, one of the important ones is raw materials in the game. You will need them to craft basic tools and weapons in order to get things done. One of the early resources that you can make tools and utilities with is wood. But they are easily broken and can’t mine most of the higher-level resources. So if you want access to higher tier materials in the game like Silver, Gold and Diamonds, then you will have to start with Iron.
Where to find Iron in Minecraft?
Just like any other raw materials, you can find Iron by mining beneath the soil. It is very easy to find, compared to Gold and Diamond. They will be present on stone blocks with brown-ish pixels, indicating iron. When you mine them, it will take some time but you will gather iron ore from them.
How to craft Iron ingots in Minecraft?
Now that you have collected Iron ore from mining, you will need two things to transform it into Iron Ingots. The first thing is a furnace ad the other thing is coal. Place the iron ore into the furnace and fuel it with coal. After some time, this will transform the ores into Iron Ingots.
Now you can use the Iron ingots to build all kinds of armour, weapons, tools and utilities. Now you can go and mine for silver ores and have yourself a few silver pickaxes to efficiently mine Gold and diamond. or you can just use the Iron pickaxe to mine all the upper-level resources.

You can also sub-divide the Iron Ingots further into iron nuggets. This is also a preference of many Minecraft players to have quick access to certain things as this occupies a little inventory space. Without Iron, you can’t progress much into the game so it is recommended to look for it if you haven’t already.
